Breathlessnesses

[kiya]

tnh at makinglight has a note about groups putting together resources for the tsunami victims. I make meaningful gestures and blither a bit.



Notes to me: add to quickie travel ritual set matches. There exist people who don't have them around, weirdly and mindbogglingly enough.

Also, remember to write the journal thing about polyvalent logic, chaos magic, and Sri Syadasti and the other journal thing about models of energy, self, and the water pumps and reservoirs.

In other news, I'm really quite fond of oneironaut.

In general crankiness, "Happy Solstice" as a nasty-intentioned comeback to "Merry Christmas" irritates me even more when people continue doing it well after the astronomical use-by date. I want to strap these people to an orrery and spin them around until they suffer from an understanding of astronomical geometry.

Lots of people asked me whether I had a good Christmas. I tended to blink and say mildly, "Yes, the weekend was very quiet and relaxing. I didn't really notice it being Christmas, since I don't celebrate it." Depending on the person, I occasionally added, "Though I was kind of irritated that all the stores were closed when I tried to go shopping on Saturday. Aren't they all supposed to be run by Jews? My people are letting me down!"

(My iTunes randomizer obligingly goes straight into "Thus saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts" from Handel's Messiah as I type that.)
