Unraveling my darkest nights to weave a brand new day
Sometimes I just love everything around me so much. Not sure why.
Thinking of retitling this journal. I've been under 'The Adventures of Muke Hoplack Tever the Intrepid' for almost a decade now... and while the reference is to a book I still enjoy, I'm not sure it's still quite a valid literary reference to my own situation.
I'm ridiculously ( Read more... ) -
Miles to go
Since the analyst job at Multiband ended a few months ago, I've been temping in a hospital, working with medical records.
Every now and then, when a patient is deceased, there's a newspaper obituary in the chart. I stop to read these. They're little pieces of sadness.
The emotionally sad ones are the ones where the family talks about what ( Read more... ) -
je suis un tigre de l'Amour; l'amour est mon devoir
So what's going on lately?
Well, we finally have new roommates. The lovely and adorable kiba_wolf_pup and his equally lovely and adorable brother Seto have moved in. Kiba took the downstairs room and Seto took the upstairs one, so we're pretty much a full house about now. Oh yes, and they have dogs, too.
I went to Furry Fiesta in Texas last weekend with ( Read more... ) -

“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way…” Mt 13:24-5
Read this today. What struck me is that the kingdom of heaven he’s talking about is in this field, where the tares were sown. The kingdom of heaven isn’t just a distant ( Read more... ) -
2010 Year in Things Done
With the new year comes looking back at what we did with the old one. Obviously one thing I didn’t do much of in 2010 was post in LJ; my post on what I did in 2009 is still on the front page.
Anyway, here’s the things I managed to complete in 2010 from my to-do list.
Art & Writing
- January: Ottiger [nsfw], Myces icon, John and Muke

"If you had known what this means, 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless." -Mt 12:7
God is not trying to destroy man, but to save him.
I’ve been thinking about oldness of things today. Like, my website is older than my car. FrathWiki itself is older than Digg. I’m older than the Dragon King of Bhutan.

time and time and time again
One resolves to write more often, but does one? Of course one doesn’t! Old habits, they die hard.
The icons, they sway back and forth.
Anyway, I should start small. This is a journal, so I shall put le jour en él.
This morning, it was snowing. At work, I read from Titus Vinius to Pliny the Elder while the new girl sat and watched me work.

Failure to exist
Right, so on election day last week I found out that one of my websites had been hacked. This from Google, who sent me an email that frath.net was being removed from its index.
Most of the rest of that day, some of the next one, and some miscellaneous time since has been spent finding the problem, removing extraneous and affected files, finding my ( Read more... ) -
...and the power of breathing while we sleep.
The feeling of being loved is not like the feeling of standing in the rain, getting hit by the drops;
When you are loved, you may not even feel it.
So we know the feeling of being loved comes from within you, not from without.
The feeling of being loved is more like listening-
Sometimes you will listen hard,
Sometimes you will only half-hear a ( Read more... )
