I had a rickety old pianoforte with no lid (which I painted gold, as my apartment walls were an off shade of turquoise). I had also an elephant, which I subsequently lost (as a character might lose a prop to poor continuity after an edit in a film). There I stood, in the same little… Continue reading In my dreams this morning…

always this is how the year progresses
It's June. June 13th, to be specific. That's 06/13/09 (for us Americans) or 13.06.09 (a more sensible approach; day-week-month, or: specific-to-broad, in terms of increments). Here's what I'm talking about: I feel (for my part) that over the past few weeks (well, maybe six or seven) I've finally gotten a handle on things– on how… Continue reading always this is how the year progresses
dream of eccentrics
In which we visit the farm of an eccentric family and wish to stay– or at least return. Click on the image to see the larger map. It's another long dream... The connection was through Joe– the place belonged to the family of one of his classmates, but Jon, Flip and I were there as… Continue reading dream of eccentrics
another dream
Right. I know it's bad form to go on about dreams; most people aren't interested. But it's my blog and it's all I've got right now anyway. Tired, long long day of computing. (Math and scripts and vectors, oh my!) Skip it if you like, otherwise... In which brilliant code geekery is usurped by hipster… Continue reading another dream
remiss at updates
It's just because I've been so busy with work, and nothing else much to write about. I realize I have also been remiss about Emily's Flat Stanley. Again, haven't had a chance ot take him out in Brooklyn! (Although I did bring him to DC...) Another map from a dream: Excerpt: There was a wedding… Continue reading remiss at updates
Vercingetorix wept.
If the kernel were (not a colonel) a general, the general is Caesar (swift, sudden and devastating attacks!), my poor iMac is Vercingetorix (doomed!), and his luck has run out– Today it's crossed a threshold and it's utterly unusable– even with nothing running save iTunes, it experienced the panic. I'm waiting to hear from the… Continue reading Vercingetorix wept.
Stay calm amid panics.
Dreamed I went to Alaska– or maybe it was Nova Scotia. (Having never been to either place, how was I to recognize it?) Staying in some small town with hills and boulders where shop cats may as likely be fed fish as dry kibble; locals behind on technology made up for it with ingenuity and… Continue reading Stay calm amid panics.
return of the sun
The machine (you'll be happy to hear) has thus far been doing fine since the reinstall. I managed a couple hours of work on Friday evening after it was finished, crash-free. I've also purchased and installed a much more reliable (fingers crossed) font management program. Oh, what strange dreams of late! Friday, Saturday and this… Continue reading return of the sun
tessellated
Despite having applied available discipline in the early hours (waking, recalling, and a forced recounting of relevant details before slipping back into sleep), what sprang from the subconscious has been subsequently and utterly lost. Often it is precisely when we wish to grasp that we lose our tentative hold altogether. So it is that we… Continue reading tessellated
