Today, I made a face out of the eyeball that's the logo of my group at CMU.

I was going to be cleverer yet, but my quota's up for today.. was going to make a logo for my website by altering an image of an altoid can, changing the text to say "Curiously Strong Opinions". Maybe I still will, sometime. But now I've ruined the punchline.

Had a long conversation with a friend in Columbus who's in a situation not unlike mine, on so many levels, except they're coming at it from a different perspective. Conversation briefly strayed to someone I find cute there who I saw for a bit during my last visit. *smile*

Oh, you might find zis comik to be amoosink, Ja? Ja!

I've been catching up a little bit on my huge backlog of things to read, people to contact, and all. I still have a long way to go... Maybe I should just try to get every single person I know that I've been needing to catch up on things with to come with me on the Guggenheim trip, whenver it'll be. .. Hmm.. that might take a bus. *sigh*

Hmm.. it's strange how sometimes muscle cramps can be pleasant.

And here we are, on foot again, another glen left, another trip across new mountains, the highlands. We can't ever go back, and it hurts to continue our trek across eternity. All the people we meet, become ghosts, whispers, that we take in our heads... Sequel upon sequel, spin-off upon spin-off.. Never another actual episode.. Just at most a cameo.. What a time it was, the original episodes.. a time when we didn't actually even look back much to the predecessors.

A line next to the wall, parallel, a divergence like veins on an old hand. Shrunken skin, an early optimization, efficiency, becomes a crippling pull. I am forced to stand still long enough for the lobster to take a swing. Extra thoughts, words flow from mind to hand, the message needing but a few occasional glances to maintain integrity. Wind blows in a place that we cannot hear, a shaking earth, unknown caves collapse.
