last night it went well... Bheesh covered din-din and i just put tip. I was up late last night... Didn't get Zs in until about 2ish. Not sure why. Rereading Jordan's WOT books for the first time since... Jr high? 9th grade? Gratuitously wordy and not a little Tolkien-rippy, but still decent in its own right. I like the "yin-yang" magic school use. so far I give it a 5/10 very slow start, but picks up a bit now. I downloaded the first 9 books, and we'll see if I get enchanted enough to ride 'em all. I’ve been spoiled as a result of reading light fare (hp5) / Tolkien recently, so my attention is short and criticism harsh in comparison to norms.
It's goin' around! (I don't think I'm *that* much of a sleeper!) Not sure about the blending in, either. I can generally get along with most folks, thouigh.

Gyromancy: Was performed by going round continually in a circle, the circumference of which was marked by letters. The presage was drawn from the words formed by the letters on which the inquirers stumbled when they became too giddy to stand. The object of this circumcursation was simply to exclude the interference of the will, and reduce the selection of letters to mere chance. In some species of enchantment, however, the act of turning round was to produce a prophetic delirium. The religious dances, and the rotation of certain fanatics on one foot, with their arms stretched out, are of this nature. These cases really indicate a magical secret, of which, however, the deluded victims rarely possessed any knowledge. In the phenomenon known as St. Vitus's Dance, and the movements of the convulsionaries, manifestations of spiritual intelligence were quite common. The tendency of the spiritual force is to act spirally, rhythmically, whether the use of language or of the bodily members.
