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.
~TKF
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

Things Checked Off The List So Far...
- Most of his stuff out of the bedroom--except the closet and the computer.
- Closet in living room cleaned out.
- Kids' bedrooms mostly done.
- Curio-cabinets cleaned out (need to wrap stuff and put them in boxes).
- Boxes acquired (more needed).
- UHaul and car tow thingie reserved.
- Car found for Nikki.
- Limited Power of Attorney for the couple Nikki will be staying with and wrapping-up conversation with the mom.
- Appointment made for cat for rabies shot update and sedatives so she doesn't have the feline meltdown that she had coming down here--she spent the last four hours under the car seat moaning. She's so big that if she did that this time, we'd have to take the truck apart to get her out.
- Appointment made to see doctor about renewing my prescriptions before I leave.
Things Left to Do
- Close savings account and open Nik a checking account.
- Help Nik find insurance and get her car registered.
- Continue to badger Ferg for the $400 he owes her--sent him an email today telling him I needed it to give to the landlord so I don't get evicted. Got a reply that he'd "try to get it to me as soon as possible" but that he didn't think he could do it "before midweek" [rolleyes].
- Finish packing.
- Call junkyard about the dead cars.
- Get Daniel's shot records to enroll him in school in Lexington.
- Call to have trash, utilities, cable, satellite turned off. Give them Ferg's address for final bills!
- Get storage facility for his stuff.
- Get person at temp agency to call me back so I can give them the address to send my last check.
- Change of address at post office for Ferg.
- Change of address at Child Support Enforcement.
- Change of address at VA.
- Give bank Ferg's address!
- Send Ferg the contract, key, and short letter telling him to not contact me and that I'll send the divorce papers to his dad's house.
I have ALOT to do in the next couple of days!
