My dream is that one day all the ever changing universe will become a palace of art so that we can a

About Me


This could take awhile. Let's start with the stuff under this, and proceed to divine from that, blogs, what you know of my personally (if you do) and what you learn by interpreting what you see on my page. That, combined with how you interpret it all (thereby revealing yourself to me as well) should make for one helluva game of chess...

My Interests

History; Immortal languages; herbalism; magic; energy; stillness; silence; communication; mushrooms; Aikido (at least for the time being--if I can't learn to roll better, I may abandon all hope); silence... the sanctity of silence...; plus all the stuff listed below this, obviously...

I'd like to meet:

Anybody who has renewed on Carousel.

Music:

I think I'll just add this stuff as I find myself listening to it... Sisters of Mercy, Depeche Mode, Loreena McKennit, Enya, Counting Crows, Frank Sinatra... David Bowie. Always David Bowie.

Movies:

Had an unbelievable urge to watch The Lost Boys tonight. Saw a great [old] BBC adaptation of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe earlier today.

Television:

Not on its way.

Books:

Waiting for my copy of The Worm Ouroborous from eBay whilst browsing through Nature Crafts for Kids...

Heroes:

Aunt Lydia (Handmaid's Tale); Lydia (V); my grandpa;

My Blog

Draft. Idiots getting past metal detectors. Idiots. Idiots. Idiots.

Okay--so I'm not the political type here.  But stupidity really bugs me.  And you'll have to forgive me, b/c it's not a lack of patriotism, it's an appeal to common sense that has me writing...

In the beginning... In my heartIs the seed of the treeWhich will be me. Nourished by understandingWarmed by friendsFed by loved onesMatured by wisdomTempered by tears. --Leonard Nimoy...

Also per Elf's request!

Allow me to express my dissatisfaction with the myspace limit of 16 pics per photo page on an account.  I have finally gone and found a place to put them all, and they have limits.  Sigh.&nb...

Cool gadgets!!!

Right, so I just had to post this.  And no, as you can see from the link at the bottom, this has nothing to do with Christmas, despite my choice of font colours. For the neatest new gadget I've s...

Would you believe I just removed half a foot, a month ago?

So here it is--I had to put in a link to this, b/c I thought it great when they originally put up the blog about it.  I even commented to them about it, but had no immediate pictures to supply as...

Getting back in touch...

So here it is, about midnight, and I'm happy to say that I've had a fabulous day--I only fell down the stairs once  :) Seriously, if anyone can believe it, I got in touch with a good friend today...

The music is like a drug...

It hits you, like you've forgotten the addiction to the sound and the beat and the melody and the dream-like fantasy meaning you put behind all of the words, never mind their original intention... Pla...

Living in the past

Ultimately, my plan is to make this entire web page look like an original version Wizardry 1 screen for PC.

reminiscing

Wow--so I was sitting here on my computer (which had been off for like 6 months), and I started digging through files looking for some random pics to put up.  It's kind of amazing what you find w...
