Things 3-8

The remaining things about me that others may not have known.
3. I started meditating a couple weeks ago. I'm also reading a book about it by someone who shares my birthday (Pema Chödrön).
4. I don't think it particularly means anything when people have the same birthday.
5. When grocery shopping I often feel the need to choose between organic food and fair trade or local. I am happy when I can find something that's all of those. But I definitely choose non-corporate over corporate if it comes down to it. I figure the small worker-owned company will go organic when they can.
6. Movies that combine physical pain and suffering with humor make me very uncomfortable.
7. Sometimes I open up mp3s in Audacity, split the stereo tracks, move one of them so they are offset by an exact number of beats, and listen to it for a while. It becomes pretty clear which recordings used click tracks and which did not.
8. The first time I saw Star Wars I thought C-3PO was called "Creepio" and that it didn't really matter if Luke died in the trash compacter.
