The clouds will continue to thunder on, just because I still feel slighted at having to waste my time doing something that I can correct easily and probably will be able to do so within the first few minutes of the sessions designed to help us out. Nothing I can do about it now, though, I suppose. I'm probably going to be ticked that such a small thing put me out and put newbies in. So my mood in regards to band has been naturally soured for the moment. Deal with it.
For the inner geek in all of us, go look at Dilbert's Ultimate House. To be honest, I think I could live in a house like that and be happy. Perhaps I would need the observatory to be closer to a tower in the proper sense, but I think I'd like a house designed like that. I'll bet it's really expensive, though.
And Google really does store everything, - so make sure you're not giving it stuff you don't want it to have.
Plus, from the "Things that make you go Wha?" Department, this image should do the trick admirably.
Finally, I have two articles that probably render everything I've ever thought, done, or felt entirely meaningless. We'll start with the second, since it's the one I found first. This article is about the power of language to make us think in specific contexts. Linked from that article is this one, about the process of Symmetry-breaking that we, as humans obsessed with describing things, do on a moment-to-moment basis.
It's an interesting argument for me, the searcher of Enlightenment, because it says that I can't find it through my own thought, because my thought is what is causing the problem of trying to find Enlightenment in the first place. It's rather funny - on one side, I'd like to have the security of attaining merit, on the other, at least some part of my wants to go all the way and break all the distinctions. So I'm working against myself, while trying to work for myself. It's about this time that I need a Zen master to beat me with his flywhisk.

Never whistle while you're pissing, soldier. One mind at a time.
