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

Oh, the irony...
He got a job offer. In Kansas. They wanted him so badly, they upped their offer quite a bit and are giving him a plane ticket. He's got to be there by Monday.
I guess I'll have to put the stuff I'm leaving for him in storage. I'm going to have to move quick and arrange things when I get back from vacation...reserve a truck, get a storage facility, etc. It'll make packing and moving easier, though. I'm not quite sure what to do about his DirectTV setup, though. Once that's taken care of, I can send him the contract and key for the facility along with the divorce papers.
In the short-term, I have some things I have to do so he can go--like try to get his name on the bank account and get him a card immediately so he can rent a car. I'm a bit concerned about him having access to the account without me knowing exactly what he's spending, but I only have to deal with it for a bit less than a month. As long as the power and phone stay on, there's money to buy food, and we don't get kicked out of here before the second week of August or so, I don't care what he spends.
