My fast begins anew!

Actually I started this morning, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to pick up my packages or not today---wanted to do that before I started. And be sure my mask stayed on tight indoors, nobody coughed in my face (or spat in my eyes---this is Filthadelphia after all), etc.

Perhaps it will buy me a few more years... to experience the dystopias that seem most probable for this place (and most of this planet) now... but for now---I'm fasting! Yay! Bring on the hunger pains, I hunger for them!

Weird that they are in the Big 10, huh? That can't be real life lol.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Day five of my fast, and I'm feeling fantastic.

Hunger not an issue at all. I've had to force myself to eat my chocolate. In fact yesterday instead of my allotted 8 tablespoons I just had 6---but my bowels have had a bit of time to adjust to the decreased fiber intake so it ought to be ok.

Got the food I'll eat when I break my fast out of the freezer to thaw and didn't feel any desire to eat it at all. It feels like I'm full to overflowing with spiritual energy (of course I'm basically an atheist, though technically agnostic---in the sense that I acknowledge I could be completely insane and not realize it, and so rationally must be agnostic about that as well).

Haven't had to reduce myself to the absolute depravity of playing video games. (Kidding, video games can be great, I just find them too addictive... and generally not as rewarding overall, for me, as other activities. But not kidding about not playing.)

But I think I'll treat myself to watching a tv show for the first time in a long time---to binge on the last season of Vox Machina. Maybe that critically acclaimed new Batman cartoon too if there's time.

Really, instead of stuffing themselves on Thanksgiving, most Americans would be better off fasting for five days... if not five months, given how obese most of us are. Moses and Jesus both supposedly fasted for 40 days---and it was only after 40 days that Jesus was hungry? Hmm. Why don't all those Christian fascists try that---and "if they die, they die" (going to Heaven in their dying minds...).

But I'll be ready for Thanksgiving with my family---a bit early to avoid the crowds on public transport---and our tradition of eating Indian food for Thanksgiving. Or maybe the local Nepalese-Indian place this year... I love their palek paneer.

Did I miss a new Malazan book release or something? That usually brings a few of the longer standing members out of the woodwork.

Broke my fast by eating Satan (ok it's actually spelled セイタン---aka seitan). With frozen edamame, snow peas, mushrooms, garlic, rosemary, olive oil, soy sauce, hot mustard, and assorted vegetables. (Did have a little bit of hot mustard hop up into one eye, but it wasn't too bad.) Then after I gave that some time to digest I had assorted mushrooms with pesto and a bit of cheese (frozen leftovers from an excellent upscale Italian restaurant).
