i'm hanging by a thread here..

This morning I had a weird moment of gnostic crisis as I passed by a leaf hanging from a spiderweb. At least, I perceived it that way. I couldn't actually see the thread, the leaf appeared to be floating in the air. It wasn't necessarily swaying in a way to imply that it was suspended, but maybe the line went down to the bottom.

As I didn't verify this, for all i know it could be held up by magic. I was tempted to go back and test this theory, but I was
a) in a hurry
b) unsure I wanted to dispel the illusion...

What does it say if I'm afraid to test whether something is really magic or not? I know spiderwebs exist, it doesn't bother me especially. Am I concerned about confronting myself with the idea that magic doesn't?

Should have taken a photo

I know this isn't a freaking novel. At least it's not more offsite links.



I can hold my head still

building a big boat to leave here for good

About which I am still confused about.

Ending sentences with prepositions...


I've been fighting an uphill battle in my own speech lately, trying not to end sentences with "of, about, under, off, at", and other relational items.

You see, the problem is that I'm speaking a bastardized germanic pigdin created so romanized angles and their saxon neighbors could sell sheep to one another.

Oh, and I've been sick in the sense of "long string of coughs followed by blowing my nose like a foghorn". My co-workers haven't been amused.

this man is a genius

I'll claim I'm just doing this because I'm sick

Actually I'm doing just this from now on because it's so much easier than typing.




band montage...

Positive thought.

No, really!

Not from me playing dwarf fortress. Don't have time. Instead I read about other people playing.
