Yesterday was odd. There was a layer of fog over the area. The sort of fog where, if you extended your arm in front of you, you would be hard pressed to see it. Whilst driving through this starnge and misty haze, I had "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison, playing in my car. Though it wasn't intentional, I don't think I could have chosen a more perfect song for the weather as well as my mood. It honestly felt like a scene in which unicorns should be floating overhead. Very bizarre. Very lovely. That reminds me, I once convinced this boy from Ireland that Van Morrison was in the Chieftans. :o) I was so proud of myself. Today is very cold. bitter cold. my 2 year old associate is pretending that the mouse is a telephone. this sounds like a surprisingly interesting idea to me. I have really enjoyed reading the posts of late. I love when everyone is in a posting mood. Then I don't feel so badly about taking up list space. That reminds me of something. I vehemently hate online journals. Dead Journal. Live Journal. Whatever. I guess I just have a problem with friends saying "I want you to be interested in what I do. I am so amazing. Please, go out of your way to read about my life, even though I have no intention of spending time to inform you of the goings on in a more personal manner." I have many friends who deemed it appropriate to use an online journal in lieu of actual human interaction. Then it occured to me that sinister is very much like that. But then I determined that sinister is better. I mean, yes, we all post...some of us really personal things, some of us just everyday meanderings, others just sort of go on about various things. But we don't use this list in lieu of actual conversation and "real life" friendships....at least not the friends I have from sinister. All of my sinister friends and I communicate off list more than on list. Weird. I still hate online journals. Oh well. I just got an email from this man on my James Joyce mailing list. I joined with the notion that I would read these amazing conversations about Ulysses and it would give me the impotus to read the book, so I could get involved. I just got invited to lead a page by page analysis of Ulysses with this man.... I haven't the heart to say I haven't read it yet...... Grrrr. Why oh why did Mr. Joyce have to make that book so long? He should have kept it nice and short, like Oscar Wilde did. By June I will have read Ulysses. I promise. Yes, June. It's official. Celine Dion is from mars. ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
