Yeah. So. Weekend.

[kiya]

That was simultaneously very busy and very lazy. Ahh, paradox is my friend.

Amongst various things that happened, arawen tried to fix my wireless card (the software is not broken with regards to the wireless card; it is, however, broken in all kinds of other exciting ways and should probably be reinstalled), my shoulder siezed up something fierce but arawen got it back down to a dull roar, I watched The Last Unicorn for the first time since very small with whispercricket, teinedreugan, and arawen, I was attacked by a sizzling udon noodle and helped demolish the last crew members on the good ship sushi, I arguably discovered my Forces focus (hah!), I teased shaddragon for being cute about boots, I prodded a lot at definitional/territorial issues and their intersection with long-term reality, there was prodigious quantities of snuggling and discussing of crackpots, and I made an important promise. Also TMI elided and tremendous quantities of "And you may ask yourself -- well, how did I get here?". (Same as it ever was.)

Next week must do things, graah. Possibly also poke at the painting.

A thing to play with in a to-do-wise thing: sort out all the long-term structural stuff that I'm trying to kick my life into being able to support and start breaking it down into tiny bits for processing. That would actually be productive on that front.

*plays with current music in honor of finding old RM friends* Ahh, the wonders of the intarweb.

Should you have time sometime this week, would love to bend your ear about several things. Will be on WoW Monday, (possibly during the day, if, like I suspect, I call in...) and Wednesday, and Thursday.

[kiya]

Will see what I can do.

Drop me an email before you get on if you're on tomorrow afternoon and I'll see about getting on? Otherwise, will try to catch you later.

[jenett]

Works for me. None of it's terribly urgent, just that I've got this growing list of things I want to run by you, and if I keep letting it do that, it will get to be a much longer and more annoying list to remember.

[kiya]

If any of it is emailable and thus resolvable from queue, also functional. I'm mostly not behind on my email at the moment.

I love it that you sometimes describe things in Mage terms - I do too. (Most commonly about paradigms, but Paradox came up recently in conversation with one of my friends.)

- Ari, the wannabe Virtual Adept

I dabble in chaos magic; any metaphor is a good metaphor if it does what I want it to.

Me, I'm a Cultist of Ecstasy with a primordial avatar. ;)

... I wonder if I could put together an Ecstatic LJ icon. That would be amusing. I could use it for chaos magic and nobody would get the joke. ;)

[kiya]

I can indeed! Okay, that was an amusing way to waste a few minutes.

[arianadawnhawk.livejournal.com]

Nice! And amen to metaphor and chaote-ish tendencies. I haven't indulged mine recently - I might have to work on that. It might help me move to being a less wannabe type of Vdept.

[kiya]

I am ludicrously pleased with the layering of metaphor in that icon. (Those of us who are easily amused have more fun.) I win.

Working with the structuring you apply to reality is a useful way of spending time, I've found. Back to Discordian filter grids and by the way it's exceedingly hard to see through TWO cats.

[artan]

Huh. I thought that the two-cat system would make a fairly good Discordian filter grid. Fuzzy logic and all...

[kiya]

Perhaps if the transparency were more adjustable.

[brooksmoses]

I think you have to interleave them and rotate them at a 45-degree angle to each other. Otherwise, they're like polarizing glass arranged crosswise.

The Last Unicorn! I remember that movie. How awesome. Did you like it as much as when you were little?

Sounds like a fun time was had by all. :)

[kiya]

It was interesting to see it 'cause I was noticing stuff that I'd never have spotted when I was a kid -- like the opening motifs all being Medieval tapestry images.

I may have to make another go at the book sometime.

The ending was ... differently ambiguous than I recalled, I think. But I'm not sure, my memories are incredibly fuzzy.

whispercricket found the DVD release, so yeah. :) All good.

[whispercricket]

Anamorphic widescreen German release! :)
