Frugality just a tad too far

July 8th, 2006 at 03:47 am

I read this while I ate my Friday curry special. Nearly put me off my food. Kudos for the anarchists not being black hooded and smashing up stores, but I think it takes group frugality just a tad too far. And actually, group frugality and those rules just make that shared house seem like a joyless experience. Guys, the revolution has to be attractive, because to the average American, living well is the best revenge.

Put another 3$ in the tip box. Did the gym and the chiropractor. I'm getting my routine going and it feels good.

Word from sister: Sister and I are still waiting for the WiDNR final proposal. I have to remember that this is a government entity. Its not like they can just hop on an opportunity in a matter of days.

    ugh! somehow living in a commune never turns out as cool as one thinks...

    at least in a family we love the slackers enough to help them grow....

    Gee, it's "voluntary poverty" when they get a $417 personal allowance every month? It's almost enough to make me want to join--not.

    Funny, I was just reading a book called Rumspringa, about Amish young people trying out the mainstream "English" way of life before settling down and joining the church. This seems like an equivalent somehow, but going in the opposite direction.
