Well, it's Friday and you know what that means: Bring out the gimp!!!

On another note, I recently read a blurb from a philospher who stated that language exist to translate, not to communicate. I find this to be both outrageous and fascinating.

I believe it implies that, while we want to communicate with one another, that is, share information, what we are really doing...

Actually I'm very much inclined to agree. I'm a very kinesthetic person, so putting things like feelings or gestalts into words feels very much like translation. But it's not just words, it's things with all the senses as well, which can often be very much more effective depending on who you're aiming at. Music or art or touch can be a very effective way of putting people in the same frame of mind as you're trying to convey, for example.

I donno that I'd classify masturbation as annoying... but then I tend to think what's annoying about the self-help thing is the schmaltz factor.

This is an economics of everday life. "[W]hat does an alcoholic call the last glass? the alcoholic makes a subjective evaluation of how much he or she can tolerate. What can be tolerated is precisely the limit at which, as the alcoholic sees it, he or she will be able to start over again (after a rest, a pause . . .). But beyond that...

alienprincess:
all my haiku (recent) are in quenya (one of Tolkein's elvish languages)I collect them here:
my terribly amateur web site with haiku repository

lets see translations:
Golden (color not the metal) [Lauri]

the golden leaves
the brightest of poetry
in the forest of words

To the Ship [Ciryanna]
I had heard
gulls, and waves when
I came to the ship


The others are less polished, and I need to look them over again...

What do you mean by "occupation: amateur fascist"
and do you speak german, calling yourself Dir Tot Zeit?

on endings and beginnings---

A great modern dancer, Viola Farber, used to say that there are no transitional movements. No connecting movements.
beginnings and endings as boundaries? definately an structure invented by the human mind....
whatever that means

nic:
Thankyou for the nice comment you left on my set. It was refreshing to get something other than "OMG hottness!"

"Politics is the new art!!!" (Adolf to Max). Do we have the strength to face what this means?

Every day you fashion it, this purpose,
And every day, at the end of the day,
It awaits you, slow death of your desires,
Climbing the stairs to your abandonment.

The bones of the world are all arranged in
Neat little piles of suspected identity . . .
Have in fact always been arranged in some
Aggragate with which to hold back fate.

And still,...
