On the Killing of Time

[neverireven]

Oh dear. People born in 1987 are legally adults. Nineteen eighty-seven. I can't get behind that.

I can, however, get behind the following things: Terry Gilliam movies, even badly produced ones. Sleepovers. The Joycean nature of everything. Unusually spicy cha'i. People I love being excited to see me. Smoked salmon hash with sourdough toast

"Kitsune usually appear in the shape of a beautiful woman, a pretty young girl, or an old man." - Stolen from wikipedia to illustrate the amazingness of its definitions. Damn. Needless to say, obviously you've been appearing in your beautiful woman form this lifetime.

Also:
1. Have I told you lately you're adorable?
2. And hot?
3. And super cute?

Well, I'm reminded I need to tell you all of the above...and perhaps most importantly...foxy ;) You are the #1 thing I miss in Boul-dar.

"Kitsune is an animal supposed to be mysterious, fascinating, and mischevious. And he is believed to be very grateful for the kindness done to him, as seen in many tales, and is also affectionate as revealed in some dramas. He is endowed with the subtle art of metamorphosis, and he is able to bewitch men in the guise of a charming girl."

One of the things I like best about kitsune is the sort of subtle genderplay that's hinted at in a lot of the mythos. Gender being, of course, one of the most fun modern playgrounds for tricksterhood... *g*

Also:

Kitsune are not truly good or evil. Quite literally, as spirits, they embody the concept of the amoral, those who do not accept, or understand, the idea of Good or Evil, instead, paving the way of balance between the two

BTW, you might enjoy making an icon out of this image. (The Earth At Night view is pretty cool too...)

I don't get cartographers.

If they're not going to render the ice shelves and sea ice on the map, then why bother making the whole continent white and snow colored? It's about as sensible as color-coding different altitudes for the whole sea/forest/mountain effect that's never actually applicable.

Although, seeing a temperately-colored Antarctica would bug me too.

Let's just terminate Antarctica with extreme prejudice.

Cartography!!!
