Reading through Bomhard's 'The Egyptian Calendar: A Work for Eternity' )

I want to write theology. I want to have it all spilling out, all the glorious shape of it, all the things about the way I approach things, if only so there's a school of thought out there that says it so people can argue with it, something out there that has something coherent and systematic and looking at the whole thing. And I don't know how the fuck I'd get it published if I wrote it - it's not magical enough to toss at Immanion, I think - but I want it like it's spilling out my pores. Only I don't know where to start. What's the beginning? I have all these pieces, these shapes of things, the explanation behind this ritual, the exploration of this concept, nature of names, nature of souls, the three faces of chaos, the gods in the universe, people in the universe, all these things, but what's the first thread? Where do I try to tell people to start? (Zep Tepi, always Zep Tepi, but.)

I want my foot to stop hurting. Some of the swelling from the pregnancy seems to have - at our best guess - separated the callus on part of my right heel from the rest of the skin, which produces sudden-scream levels of pain when manipulated incorrectly.

I want ... food to look like food again. Everything is as appealing and foodlike as grass, which is profoundly frustrating. I snack, mostly because I know I ought to input caloric stuff, but it's ... sort of desultory.

I want to not have to be up at ungodly in the morning to go interview a pediatrician. At least I get to go back to bed afters.
The Woburn Public Library didn't have much of anything that was useful as a reference, but I didn't want to head back immediately after going through the catalog and the shelves, so I picked up an old (1928, I think) general history of Egypt and flipped through it for about an hour.

Which leads me to looking for this old thing I wrote on TC and wanting to put it here: geography and stuff. )

I have a mode, I have a mode, I have a mode.

I have a mode for nonfiction work, which is fascinating, but it's theology, which as I said this weekend is as much about truth as fiction, so apparently I've hooked in some of the same parts of my brain.

I know the shape and the rhythm of it.

I have a mode!


In other random enthusiasms, I figured out how to snap at about 2am on Wednesday/yesterday night. Only with right hand, but hey, I've never done it before, and I'm easily amused.

Filing so I don't lose it:

ETA: I fear I need to learn to read German. My obsessive completism will be the death of me, or something.
