saurabh is a manic- depressive graduate student with delusions of
overturning well- established social hierarchies through sheer weight of cynicism. in his spare time he writes self-effacing auto- biographical blurbs.
dan makes things up casually, effortlessly, and often. Never believe a
word he says.

Time to go
I am about to be ungainfully unemployed and flailing for interesting projects. (I guess I'm not qualified to work in a growth industry.

Why would a hedgehog abandon the nation-ship that has nurtured him through his adult life? Because it is being run into the rocks. A few items of recent horror:

- My growing sense that everyone I know with a modicum of conscience is on psychiatric meds, perhaps to keep themselves from committing acts that are illegal to so much as write or link to on the Internet.
- My own gradually disintegrating sense of humor. What's that? "What sense of humor?" Good question.

Unemployment is an incredibly painful experience. Selling your possessions so you can survive is humiliating. Yet there are people out there still refer to the unemployed as "slackers", etc. I've been there (I am unemployed again this month, actually). Good luck to you.
