It's kind of hilarious that the popularity of "Hamilton" seems to have ensured that Alexander Hamilton will stay on the $10 bill.

I've been struggling with playing Dragon Age: Origins on my MacBook Pro, mainly from problems that have nothing to do with actual game play. From the system requirements, I would've thought that I have an adequately spec'ed machine to play the game, but I'm plagued by mysterious intermittent slow downs and lock-ups. I'm fairly certain it's the game, since I don't seem to have problems running other apps. But what it reminds me is why I tend to stick to consoles for gaming.

(And of course, this reminds of the time when my sister was six, and she got really mad at our neighbors and chased them down the street wielding an axe. True story.)

The water that falls upon the arid plain
was once the water that flowed in waves upon the deep dark sea
the water from the well that you drink with great thirst
the water that flows through the river, rushing down rapids swirling in eddies
the water that is your perspiration, that are your tears
and blood is made up mostly of water, and so is urine and bile

To find the way, you must search for it
but you cannot search for it without losing it first
and how can you lose the way if you have never found it?

What is going through my head?

I really think I hate being happy. (“Life. Hate it or loathe it, you can’t ignore it.”) Some other random things that I must dump out of my brain before they contaminate everything.
