Sponge-Kodoma?
Jul. 27th, 2005 12:15 amI feel a little bit like a sponge. A sponge, you say? Indeed, for through most of my umpiring shift tonight I was in the rain. It was never a downpour nor a soaking, so I'd take on some water, dry out a bit, take on some water, dry out a bit, and so forth. Feels good, though - and it was reasonably chilly as well. All in all, a rather enjoyable rain. Too bad I was working during it. The humidity keeps going back to sweaty though, even after the rain's arrived. Must be close to August in Michigan. (Yep.)
I know this because I have sunglasses without much tint, and most people should know this if they've ever had friends with glasses, but maybe all Clark Kent needed was glasses. Then again, considering that Joe Q. American doesn't have too much for brains since he's too busy being scared of propaganda, perhaps glasses are a more effective disguise than we think. Anyway, more stuff to do tomorrow. Maybe I'll finally get caught up enough on being behind that I'll be able to feel reasonably good about myself. I'm still enjoying the aftereffects of the Dear Friends concert, so there is a considerable amount of stuff to get caught up on. Whenever someone gets the picture we took there, send it to me, okay?
Plus, as a student of the Arts (as all of us should be), I have to say that U.K. LeGuin gets it right when she says that books don't always have a message - although she focuses on children's lit as being exempt, I would say a considerable amount of adult literature is also under this rubric. There's some stuff that's trying to get a message across, but then there are some stories that are told as such, without an end necessarily in mind. Music is much like that - the story is told through the music. There isn't necessarily a message that goes with it - often music with a message is with advertising, and good music rarely advertises. Good music inspires.
Anyway, more ZZZs for me. Although if there were some way to easily resolve the fear of passing away in one's sleep with so much to do still on the platter, I'd like to hear it. It's not paralyzing, but it appears occasionally.
