Bard
This song speaks straight to my heart probably more than it should. Listened to it four times tonight, about to go for a fifth.

Meet you by the Art room door In a circle on the hallway floor Teacher held you back again For drawing ogres in your text-book margin Keeping your eyes down and dodging oranges on the bus-trip home Every day you’re battle-scarred But you grow...

Stupid, frigging, grr.
Damnit. Damnit damnit damnit DAMNIT. Heart foundation (or some similar heart-disease charity) called and asked me to go door-knocking. I said no. They responded with “It’s just your street! And you have two weeks to do it!” I hung up. Will regret this for the rest of the week, at least.
Take that, Margaret.
Margaret from At The Movies says she doesn’t understand Ramona Waters. Says she’s boring, unlikeable, cold.
I thought: you’re too old, Margaret. Ramona is the Pixie. Every geek wants her. And I still think I’m right, but then I thought a bit more on it and figured that the pixie is just a kind of fire. Y’see, it’s probably only the silly of us who really like...
The Word Museum Song
I have nooooo life :P.
As best I can transcribe it. Tis phonetic, so the spelling is probably off on some of the words.
Song is written and property of the inestimable Martin Pierson, o’course.
As I was a-walking one bright morning in the maytime 1480 in the daytime While I was still young,
I heard a young maid shouting At a true lover who was pouting At a less than successful outing In...
The Shepard Tone →
This is cool: An auditory illusion to give the impression of a constantly descending tone that doesn’t actually get any lower.

Whinge: Lost stuff
Early riser, big brown eyes. Always best friends. Questing for Glory. Soldier, sailor, tree-gazer. Never mind.
Daily ties, sweet blazer. Circles of friends, running ovals, Japanese. Sweet sixteen, never been kissed. Sky-touching, voice of God Uphill like a snail, a ton on my back. Never mind.
New things, new places New people: a hundred hundred missed oppurtunities Lost names, never-friends,...

Whinge
It’s tomorrow, just got home and none of my talking people are around. So I’ll talk into this screen instead.
So Toy Story 3 is ace. Been a long time since I saw the last movie, but they never fail to get tears from me, at least on the first occasion. First time in a little while a movie has managed that for me, so kudos to it. In particular the scene near the end, when Andy...

The Duck
Behold the duck. It does not cluck. A cluck it lacks. It quacks. It is specially fond Of a puddle or pond. When it dines or sups, It bottoms ups.
What's up?
Not much. Wastin’ time till I’m dead. You?
The alt text is also awesome. →

True Devotee
“Most men think that time is like a river; it flows swift and sure in one direction. But I have seen the face of time, and I can tell you: they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm. You may wonder who I am , and why I say this. Sit down, and I shall tell you a tale like none you have ever heard.
Know first that I am the son of Sharaman, a mighty Persian King. On our way to visit the...
Get off my lawn!
Keep remembering or being reminded of stuff which happened a few years ago and realising how far out of high school I am, and yet how little I’ve grown since then.

Just saw Iron Man 2. Had a gay old time doing so! Stayed around for the stinger sequence after the credits, like a good nerd. Now that I know who she is and paid attention when she was on screen, I can concur with my friends many rants about Scarlett Johansonn’s hotness. I did note that she did precious little acting though, in between looking hot and beating up guys, and the little glimpses...
Dan's Week
This week I got my internship position at IP. … At least for now, one thing about that has screwed up so far and I haven’t even started, but still. Further, I just got another job offer for a writing-based thing with Emerald writing services.
I went to the beach during a weekday: it was nearly abandoned and the surf was rather lax, but swam it up good. The sea rocks.
I missed a movie...

Probably cooler than it has a right to be, in a cheesy sort of way.
Hmm.
*checks to see I’m on a secure line* Yes, I know exactly who can read this, and it’s not many people. Cool. How subtle can flirting be? And how much is it usually so? Just coming back from a twenty-first and made no attempt at a move, thus have no idea how it would have gone down. With the burgeoning adulthood and all I’m going to have to figure this shit out.
*shrug* Fun time...

Wrath
One of the seven sins. I’ve found them a fun way of exploring basic character flaws, and though I don’t quite get the distinction between some of them, I do actually agree with a lot of the ideas behind ‘em.
Everyone gets angry, obviously. Doesn’t bear being said. Myself, I just have to learn to forge actual confrontations. Not fantasies of snapping, but actually snapping,...

What a catch
Spent aaaaall of today playing Halo in a big Halo party with ten other people. Ate Maccas. Spent aaaaaall of yesterday and the day before on DragonAge: Origins.
So.
Where’re the ladies at?
Oy.
Well there you go
Anna Bligh says something that causes me to pause for thought, whoda thunk it: “Without new writers and new literature, we lose touch with ourselves and our world.”
Tis an interesting statement when applied to fiction authors. How does reading about people who have never existed doing things that never happened keep us in touch with the real world?
Just something to ponder.
It's me. I'm here.
Well, it’s tomorrow again. Too late. No-one else about. I think I’m beginning to understand the appeal of this time of day, but you need to be a little mad for it to work. And alone. Because that’s exactly what the appeal is.
I want to write here a lot more now that I know people actually read it. I want to write here a lot less now that I know people actually read it.
Why do I...
