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

Horoscope time
Yahoo changed its format or got a new prognosticator--either way, it doesn't have that eerie-accurate quality anymore. Some of it still fits pretty well, though!
Overview:
Keep this train rolling -- no unnecessary stops made for any reason. You've got a destination to get to and a schedule to keep. Remind all the passengers aboard of that little fact.
Daily work (by Astrology.com)
Prima donnas are a pain. Ignore them and roll your eyes in private. Once again, your sense of humor saves the day. Share the joke with a few friends and watch the tension level drop.
Can you say "Michelle"? I knew you could!
Daily couples love (by Astrology.com)
You're on fire! You've got energies that just can't be contained, and your partner might end up exhausted if you don't spread yourself around among friends.
As long as it's been, one can hope! *looks around for a canidate*. Hey, wait--it said to spread myself among friends so that I don't exhaust one particular person! Any volunteers??? *evil*
Daily flirt (by Astrology.com)
People better stay out of your way -- it's not that you're angry, but you'll definitely feel feisty and ready to get riled up if anyone looks at you sideways.
Not really sure what that has to do with "flirting", but it's a fairly accurate description of my attitude lately!
Daily extended (by Astrology.com)
Watch what you eat today, as it could cause some problems for you. Some Virgos are quite sensitive when it comes to their tummy. Don't obsess about money. That could also have adverse effects on your digestion.
Duh!
Monthly romance (by Astrology.com)
There could be romantic changes from the 1st through 6th. Maybe you find a new lover.
All I'm going to say to that at the moment is "Hmmmmmmmmmmm"
