My evening
"Dude. Dude. Dude dude dude."
I was thinking about temples and foundations, as I often do.
"What?" teinedreugan asked me.
"There's a thing," I explained, "where you sit and stare at it and you don't get anywhere and then suddenly you know what to do and you can do research and...." I kissed him.
"Bye!" said whispercricket, as I packed up my computer and prepared to scurry up to the office.
"whispercricket understands!"
"I wasn't even really paying attention," she comments.
I am pulling books off the shelves, flipping through the indexes, muttering 'stretching the cord', which I looked up on a few websites, but I want things in books, for citations. I toss Seth: God of Confusion onto the bed in its notebook, and add Ancient Egyptian Construction and Architecture, and go through several books and put them back.
Then I pause, and take one of those books down off the shelf again. "86, 86...."
I was actually looking for page 87, but close enough.
I read. "At Edfu, inscriptions in the temple tell us that it was oriented from Orion in the south to the Great Bear in the north."
I put the book down.
My mind is exploding.
Pedj-shes.
