0. Not gonna write about SW:toR today. There's too much else. I'll come back to it tomorrow. But, in short, it's the best MMORPG I've ever played, though I will temper that estimation with some minor caveats.

1. I haven't had to mark any days L for a long time (thank you, meds), but yesterday was a lost day. There was very little in me but anger.

Monday's sunset was beautiful in Boston as well. The amazing sunsets are the one thing that truly I miss about living in Florida.

We get many more of them here than I ever saw in Atlanta, Athens, or Birmingham.

One of the great pleasures about reading Two Worlds and In Between is coming across stories that I'd heard about for years but was never able to read. The Dry Salvages are just such a story and wow, what an amazing piece of work. I finished it this morning and before bed last night I was watching The Waters of Mars and realized that it had something in common. The persistent human belief that whatever lies out there in the cosmos must surely mean us good, right? I mean nothing viral and alien in a substance so innocous as water could ever mean us harm. This sounds idiotic but I think that story (yours, not RTD's) finally got through my little head what you've been saying all along, in some fashion or another: the other is magic but the other will likely kill you.

the other is magic but the other will likely kill you.

Yes, and not necessarily even out or malice, or even amusement.

I'm very glad you liked the story.

I can't stop thinking about it.

Best thing you could have said.

Here are photos from a spectacular sunset on Monday

That's breathtaking. There was something similar here, but I caught only the rags of it.

That's breathtaking.

I was working, and Spooky called me to see the sky burning.

Peter Weller is truly fun to watch

he has been in some truly good and bad movies, and worth watching in most anything. He and Meg Foster can have the dueling blue eye thing going.

Given your concerns about your iPad being inappropriately used in sacred book space, I thought taking a little time to read this delightful account might go a ways in balancing out your karma:

Can't decide if this is very awesome, or if I'm mostly horrified at the mutilation of the books....

I have a small stack of books I've picked up at thrift stores for a dollar or less with the intention of cutting them up for art projects. I have yet to actually work up the nerve to dissect the poor things though. If I knew I could do something this marvelous with them, I suspect starting would be a little easier.

I've simply never been able to harm a book. I think it's because books were so rare as a child, rare for me, and their value was deeply impressed upon me.
