Hmm. It's been a while.

Just drove home through a storm, surrounded by fantastic lightning strikes, listening to Imogen Heap singing sweet anxiety. [1] Having lifted the roof of clouds at the horizon, god's orange moon-eye flits through the trees, watching my heart beating faster and giggling "ooh, he'll like this one." [2] I suspect that a full knowledge of the joy of ( Read more... )

Just pruned my friends list a bit. Old, abandoned journals that I haven't seen anything on for... years, now. Don't feel bad if I've de-friended you! Or maybe do, I dunno, but at any rate it's not like I hate you. We just never seem to talk any more, so I'm trimming off some dangling threads.

Dinner tonight: apple, orange, tangerine (sitting in the fridge too long, hafta use it), kiwi, lettuce salad w/ almonds, a cherry tomato (left those too long too), and Caesar (with canola oil, oops?), grated cheese. Steamed green beans with my laughable attempt at sauteed garlic, green onion, and almonds, and shredded cheese. Also also, Keith ( Read more... )

Dinner tonight: cucumber, apple, orange, chocolate chips. In a blender. (Ha ha kidding. Though now that you mention it ( Read more... )

At Kaplan University, 'Guerilla Registration' Leaves Students Deep In DebtBetween this and the one that I didn't post a few months ago about student loan practices, I'm all super-dubious about higher education right now. If socialist systems tend toward inefficiency [citation needed] and free market systems rot in their own corruption [hyperbole, ( Read more... )

Dot's pillow is still in my room, and tonight I figured out why: I flipped it over and used it as a cushion for meditation. Zafus and Zabutons be damned, I have what I need right here.

The full lotus position is surprisingly easy. Not to get into, mind you, but once I'm there, it's nice to sit in. Much harder, I've found, is posture. My lower ( Read more... )

Doomsday Book is /wonderful/. Now that Kivrin's well enough to be up and exploring the 14th Century, I am more than a little enthralled with that half of the story. I sort of want to skip the other half--and I have, a little bit. But I sort of like Colin and Dunworthy, however, and Doctor Mary, so I suppose that I will go back and make good ( Read more... )

The first ten pages of Doomsday Book are quite promising! I have been wanting to do some reading about history for a while now, and a time-travel scifi story is certainly one way to go about that. As long, I guess, as one take it with the same grain of salt one uses with any single, non-cross-checked source? "This is probably true, but I would ( Read more... )

I am beginning to fear that this linux install is going senile. It has outright /lost/ the contents of one directory (the desktop) and the entirety of another (/home/jon/bin). This hasn't happened /again/, mind, still just that one time last... Sunday or whenever. But still. I've heard various horror stories, third-hand, about various flavors ( Read more... )
