Living in Narbethong for four weeks, home is in a quantumly uncertain state of burned-down/not-burned-down.  Will talk my way past the roadblocks on Tuesday, will likely stay up in the mountains and see what can be done ( Read more... )

Last year there was Rennaisance Festival. A beginning, not The Beginning, as GRR Martin might say.

To my dear flist, via the delightfully insane Rob from freewillastrology.com.  I'm sure many have read it, but it does capture what I respect most about LJ:

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. First, I love how you have desires for seemingly impossible things. It's your most scary and winsome quality. But there are so many other weirdly ( Read more... )
