A place for me to work stuff out and to post things that interest me.
Most of us can, if we choose,
make this world either a palace or a prison.
~Lord Avebury
I choose a palace.

Do not let your fire go out,
spark by irreplaceable spark,
in the hopeless swamps of the approximate,
the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish,
in lonely frustration for the life you deserved,
but have never been able to reach.
Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won.
It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
~Ayn Rand
The democratic society's mythology of equality with its
attendant erasure of difference is an impossibility
in an actual, lived sense.
Therefore, according to this view, this
imaginary erasure cannot achieve an
actual democracy, because a sense of
community can only come with the recognition of difference.
~Slavoj Zizek, as paraphrased by Catherine M. Soussloff

I thought the place was very cool. Oh, and all you Alias fans, you can find a very nice wallpaper there--
or rather, here--and a gorgeous Evanescence one, too!

Beyond the Invisible
| 
The tale of the world is like a tree.
...
Sturdily rooted in the past, the tale's branches spread out through the days that come. The many stories that make up its substance
unfold from bud to leaf to dry memory and back again, event connecting event like the threadwork of a spider's web, so that each creature of the world plays its part, understanding only aspects of the overall narrative, and perceiving, each with its particular talents, only glimpses
of the Great Mystery that underlies it all.
~Charles de Lint, Moonheart

Guess Who Called?
Yep, you got it. He finally called. Claims to have $1000 check that he can't get cashed because the banks are closed and he needed some money because all he had was a check he couldn't cash, $.52 and no food.
*sigh*
I sent it to him.
He better make it last...and he better give Nik her $400.
In the meantime, I'm doing all the closets, all the cabinets, the bookshelves and my bedroom this weekend. I've got the kids doing their rooms and helping me with the closets. I'm hoping to find a self-storage on Monday. I'll pay for 3 months and put his stuff in it. That should be plenty of time to get his stuff if he wants it--especially since he has a free round-trip ticket to use to come back if he wants because they screwed up his flight out.
I'm hoping to get enough done that I don't feel guilty about maybe doing something with Amy tonight. I want to get together with her before I leave. I'm really going to miss her. (Figures I finally make a really good friend that I actually live near just before I move.)
