The mind may go, but the heart endures long, and knows the best truths.

October Crown, yeah?
My mother is now Crown Princess of the West.
The practical upshot of this is that I am going to get roped into going to Twelfth Night to see her crowned.
I realize the irony of tagging a post like this "real life", so I've offset it by also using "geekitude".

I might be a party-pooper destroying the touching "Chicken Soup" significance of this utterance, but this is the speech that issued from me upon finding this quote posted in another journal:
Do you know that moment when you paint a landscape as a child and, when you're maybe under seven or something, the sky is just a blue stripe across the top of the paper? And then there's that somewhat disappointing moment when the teacher tells you that the sky actually comes down in amongst all the branches. And it's like life changes at that moment and becomes much more complicated and a little bit more boring, as it's rather tedious to fill in the branches. (Alan Rickman)
"Well, clearly Alan Rickman has not done much painting, because what do you is paint in the whole sky, and then put in the branches over it. You paint from the back to the front. Pick up a paintbrush, or shut your mouth, Mr. Rickman.
"That's right, you just heard a woman tell Alan Rickman to shut his mouth.
"Actually, so long as he doesn't become that guy who paints happy little bushes, I'm okay with it. Just don't be that guy."

So. That earthquake. Doods, I felt that. Not the shaking (duh, at 400 miles away?), but the "*ping* Huh? WTF? Something totally just happened in the last ten minutes..." as I was sitting in the waiting room at the eye doctor's while enotsola was having his eyes poked at.
Weird.
P.S. Squiggly mass of red dots on top of the big blue one (looks different now than at 12:30 because fewer of them are "past hour"): ( screencap )
I was like "hee hee! Lookit allem aftashocks!" enotsola, er, didn't share my amusement.

Making snide, entitled-sounding comments about how "I could have texted you all this if I had your phone number" is not a good way to get me to give you the number of my still-nonexistent cell phone (I know, I know, I am the last dinosaur on earth), especially when the other major reason you don't have it, which I have told you repeatedly, is that I wouldn't give it out to most people even if I did have one. People like you are a major reason I resist giving out any phone numbers at all, in fact.

This is the person who did Tarot of the Sidhe. This isn't supposed to be one, but I'm seeing one anyway.

One of the two WinXP updates in the latest WU push broke internet connectivity over both dial-up (from two different providers) and wifi on two of my home computers. Connection would negotiate and DNS lookup proceed normally, but then no data would come down the pipe; it would sit there eternally at "Connecting to..."
I suspect KB951748 ("Security Update for Windows XP") rather than KB951978 ("Update for Windows XP") but I am not 100% certain as the sequence of events was to uninstall the second, try internet again without rebooting, fail, uninstall the first, reboot, succeed.
Oddly enough the same update(s) has/have not broken internet at work. I am not sure what the deciding factor is.

This kind of celestial arrangement is usually something I associate with the power of the West. Apparently it is possible to see it in the east as well at the right times of the year. (You won't catch me up at the time of day necessary to see this, unless I've for some reason stayed up that late.)

Apparently I got the wireless mouse I am using right now. Wow, was it that long ago?
7/3/06
No posts. On 7/5/06 I was applying for jobs in Ontario.
7/3/05
No posts. On 7/1/05 I posted a link to a cool APOD picture and talked about my net worth. (That post is filtered to a small subset; sorry if you can't see it.) After the big spend-fest that was moving to Canada and back in 2006 and having no job for eight months that year, it's taken me three years to recover to the same point. Almost exactly three years, in fact; last month I again crossed the same threshold mentioned in that post.

Burbling about American and Canadian citizenship tests.

No posts. On 7/2/03 a boring sooper seekrit message to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif) tyrsalvia about some CDs I left at her house.
7/2/02
No posts. I started this journal in April 2002 but the posting is pretty spotty until December 2002. There aren't any posts at all July-September.

me: [fondling empty Chambord bottle] It's so cute and spherical! I need a cork for it.
enotsola: And then you can fill it with rainbow sand and glitter.
me: Ummm... why?
him: Because those are pretty!
me: That's not exactly the effect I'm going for.
him: You just gotta be careful not to move them. They get all outta whack.
me: Well... I should just fill it with whack then!
him: You'd think that, but that never seems to work.
me: No?
him: No... For some reason, when you get a lot of whack in a concentrated area, it seems that two thirds of it always turns into wiggity.

I don't think I require their product. I'm pre-geeked.

So many people's lives seem to be getting so massively upset around me right now. Valued relationships ending, strife occurring, jobs lost, property wrecked. I only speak of the narrow window I have through my two LJ lists and IJ list, but still. I hope with all my heart that you will find respite from your sorrows very soon, grace and comfort for your hurts.
