Yes but Ive done enough construction that having most of the supplies makes me want to build stuff.
That may also have something to do with the fact that I was touring a New Urbanist community this morning that is still in the process of being built.

Hm, that's pretty neat. Next time, I'll try to throw more random things in there.

Really with the 9month conver belt that oxygen starves the lower classes so they will be less intelligent?
Orwell seems kinder, and less technologically based (of course it has been many years since I read 1984)

Im caught up, more or less.

Orwell's is a lot less kind. The whole point of BNW is for the people to be happy.

Hmm...haven't seen the weird-flavoured ones. I just know the shapes, I guess. After that time when they actually asked pasta shapes as a trivia category and I got one wrong, I don't want it to happen again if it comes up again

Yeah, in Italy, they have tons of flavors as well as shapes. Then again, a lot of pasta consumed is home-made.

Hmm...when I went to Italy, I didn't see any weird flavours. Maybe I didn't go where they have them.

Hm, dunno. My parents went all around Italy and Spain and saw them. There's also a specialty store in downtown Houston (ah, the luxuries of a big city), that imports them. Then again, I know people that out of their ways to look for culinary oddities.

Great I catch up, and you guys take off, ah well.
there should be some refrence to fetus in my previous post.

I actually found Kafica's The Trial as the most realistic. A decentralized oppresive society where everyone thinks that all desisions are made at some mysterious upper level of control. I understod it as there is no upper layer, just endless levels of buearcracy.

Ah, there you go. We weren't looking for food oddities, just Roman and Greek sites, and Renaissance art

Is that what the cryptic lines were? I didn't recognize it.

Ah, my parents didn't have time for very much of the art. They went with friends and visited their families. You get a very different feel for foreign countries from the POV of the citizens.
