Never did hook up with my brother last night... I hope that the movie is still on with him for this evening...(I'm going, regardless).

I sat down last night, and futzed a bit, waiting for him... ( feral idea developed during that time )

Polished off the Egyptian Law book... racy, but there were a lot of tasty tidbits of information that got absorbed quite nicely. I also chewed on The Wreck of the Medusa : the Tragic Story of The Death Raft, by Alexander McKee. This one's got it all: incompetence, cowardice, a wide selection of varieties of human evil, a stinging indictment of the French government (of 1816), many, many unfamiliar shipping terms to add a dash of exoticism and mystery to the otherwise sordid proceedings, and *cannibalism*. Highly recommended, if you like that sort of thing. 150 men and women reduced to 15.

The Global Consciousness Project records thousands of random electronic "coin flips" on computers worldwide to see if the results change when the world undergoes upheaval. We may be able to predict disaster...or our collective emotions may be the cause of them. If this primer is too simple, the GCP has enough information to make your eyes bleed.

A moment of Zen -

In the awakened eye
Mountains and rivers
Completely disappear.
The eye of delusion
Looks out upon
Deep fog and clouds
Alone on my zazen mat
I forget the days
As they pass
The wisteria has grown
Thick over the eaves
Of my hut.

Just got back from the movie.... it was nice. Dave & Cathi, with Maya and Luna in tow... My Brother, ci, moloko4, Nicki, and spiderstomper, too.

( pictures of a few LJ'ers together, and Dave with baby M. )

I was surprised... they all are much better looking in real life. :) (and that's pretty good...they're dang cute on lj) Very pleasant time was had. They're all so tiny! I could carry the lot of them on my shoulders.

It was nice meeting them all... now I can say that I've gotten to shake hands or hug more than tarpo and isis. Who's next in line to meet? I look forward to gabbing with these guys in a more enclosed environment... fun gabbing, and interesting perspectives.

In other news, I tought dave how to play heroclix, and he won, soundly. Bravo, Mr. Bohl... a shame I shall have to destroy you, next time. I'll know to bring along a few ranged fighters.

Since I unloaded the camera...

Some bailey piccies from last Friday, and a macro shot of that broken window by the bus stop.

( right this way... )

for lunch on Friday, I had a fluffernutter, a Ziploc of pretzels, and a tall, tall Arizona iced tea... and a choc-chip cookie-square for dessert. :)
