Breathlessnesses

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.

I think a lot of it depends on the relationship one has with a person. Catching someone after their holiday and saying "Hey, I hope you had a good one" or something in that mode feels very different to me, y'know? But that's something that requires some level of personal contact; the holiday wishes from strangers get weirder and touchier, even though on a different level it's all bonus goodwill.

At home we have groceries shutting down early on Thanksgiving too, which is sort of aggravating for the last minute realisations. Clearly we need to have last minute realisations by noon.

I so need to sit down with the Egyptian calendar system book that my mother-in-law gave me and work out the calendar structure, speaking of figuring out where to put the movable holidays . . .
