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

What I've Done Today
- Arrived home at 4am or so.
- Unpacked.
- Took a shower.
- Dressed for work.
- Left for work early, since I was ready and I wasn't sure if I was going to make it through the whole day.
- Got to work 1/2 hour early.
- Did 160 permits.
- Managed to stay awake all day with exception for a few seconds when I found myself dozing--took another No-Doze.
- Managed to not be able to eat anything because going without sleep for over 24 hours makes my stomach go insane.
- Was asked to "pick up a few things from the store" on my way home.
- Started dinner when I got home.
- Started the laundry that no one did all day.
- Did the dishes no one did all day.
- Got the phone messages that no one took--including two calls begging him to call them immediately about that job in Kansas.
What he did today
- Told me after sleeping all the way home that he was much too exhausted to drive me to work this morning so that I wouldn't have to worry about whether or not I'd be in any condition to drive home.
- Sleep until 6pm.
- Play Everquest.
- Eat a small portion of the dinner that I cooked (for him, since my stomach is too fucked up to handle food at the moment) and tell me that "it was good, but he's just not that hungry since he just woke up".
It amazes me, for some unknown reason, that he doesn't even consider entertaining the thought, "Hey! I have no job at the moment! Maybe I could actually do something useful! Like putting up my own fucking beer!"
