7:26 am	Monolith-white Begets Monolith Apparently I am not sleeping well as this time of the morning is not supposed to know me as it does, today. However, the main purpose behind this to post is to talk about this new system I acquired on Thursday. It is slightly older than my last PowerPC system but it is a slight upgrade and better for my present-day uses of a non-portable primary system. Casualties in dropping back nearly a year but going from entry-level to pro-level were relatively few: slightly less memory on what is likely a less powerful graphics card, the loss of Bluetooth hardware, and the lack of 802.11g. My last model was from the era where both of these were standard while this is from the end of their optional era. The only one of these features that I miss, however, is the wireless networking since the layout of the new apartment puts the primary system far from the backbone. So, does anyone have a 12+ metre ethernet cable they would be willing to part with (I can throw you $20 for it). I figured that somebody must have one of these lying around and is looking for somewhere to dump it (I used to, but have no idea where it went). I would rather save something from the garbage instead of precipitating redundant production. Let me know if you can help me out, ...Nights Current Mood: tired Current Music: You Remain - Imperative Reaction - Minus All (Comment on this)

8:16 pm	The Memory of War While roller-blading along the river, this afternoon, my mind wandered to an area of some confusion and I am still trying to make sense of it. Last fall, I recall that I was so angry with someone I knew that I saw fit to perform the rare act of affixing the seal, that I would be separated from the rage they stirred in me. Now, however, I can't entirely remember why that was. I find myself wondering if it was simply an over-reaction to feeling somehow hurt and not the more profound sense of a disconnect with the covenant of humanity. The former are temporary seals, meant only to protect me from a specific kind of anger which is derived from a specific disagreement or act. They are intended to be broken once the storm has settled (which is accelerated by the other party absorbing the seal without reflecting it). The latter is a more fundamental seal which is used to stem the flow of some kind of poison into the mind, that disrupts thoughts as it destabilizes the covenant. This seal is meant to persist until the fundamental disagreement loses definition (which can easily translate into never). I find myself rather concerned that I can't remember which this is. The target has never ceased their kindness, however, so I would like to understand that this seal can be broken. Peace and forgiveness can bear us across any dark expanse, though, so I should stop hesitating and climb into this canoe. No use waffling on the shore while pointlessly wallowing in darkness. ...Nights Current Mood: confused Current Music: Any Chance? - BlutEngel - Seelenschmerz (Comment on this)

8:03 pm	Adventures in observing exploding projectiles Sorry for the late notice but soul_seeking and I figured we would extend the offer to any who want to come by, tomorrow, to see if we can watch the fireworks from our balcony (if we can't, it is a short walk North to the corner of the river which would have a good view all the way down to parliament). It will be a pretty laid-back affair but we figured that we would extend the offer. The rough plan is to be opening the place up from roughly 4 PM to midnight (not a late night since both of us need to work, the next morning). Any takers? ...Nights Current Mood: relaxed (Comment on this)
7:12 pm	A question of titles Some may have noticed in the link from this post that I have appropriated a new title. Apparently, I am now The Black Pope. However, since I am not a satanist, I am not sure if the title is completely appropriate. My suggestion is to take a title with all the prestige of the position but more of the reality of who I am. This leads me to the title: Ultimate Grand Arch-Peasant.... -san.... -Sr. What say you? ...Nights Current Mood: curious (2 Comments |Comment on this)
8:30 am	Rebuilding the Core The turn-out at Zaphod's, over the past several months, has been erratic and includes too few of those with whom I associate my best memories of the goth community. I know that everyone is busy, many are working on limited budgets, or otherwise can't make it out every night. In response to this, I have created a thread on the HoO site to try to help us co-ordinate who will be out, which nights. This way, rare appearances can be planned to coincide so the night feels full and familiar, whenever possible. I will be there tonight, ...Nights Current Mood: optimistic (Comment on this)
