grayness

At a bare minimum, I'll be at work until 12:30, tomorrow morning. I leave in about an hour.
This is going to be a long day, figuratively.

And, I suppose, literally as well.

An Interlude, and a Question.


I wonder if those motion detectors in Aliens were called Giger counters...?

Introduction...

The last bullet missed, just like all the others had. From your point of view, you'd think that's a foregone conclusion. Or would be, once I got to that point. But there are plenty of things you don't know... yet.

I've never been much of a...

I asked myself a question
"Self, how would you question me?
For knowing my own answer,
There is no point, you see."
...and my self was silent-
I took him to agree.

I'm awake, and moving on-
What was here will soon be gone.
For as some Greek and his advice
I can't step in this river twice-
Or maybe even once.
For who will dare to say they know
How fast this stream of time may flow?

On Modern Creativity

In truth, in time, it's all been said
Turned twice over, left for dead-
Beaten, broken, battered, bruised,
Tangled,twisted- and confused.
What? The plot! Noble story line,
With ancient roots, of blood divine,
That's given birth to grand epics-
But now gives rise to Saw the sixth.

I don't like a thing I write
At least not now and that is right
When I must face this space of white-

It just isn't going to work, tonight.

So why is it I'm still awake?
This can't be good, for goodness' sake!
But I can't let my weekend end;
For then Monday has beginned...
Or more correctly, "has begun",
But either way, it just ain't fun.

So, quiet weekend.

A few naps, attending to the whims, wishes, and wants (and occasionally needs) of the furry kids, giving up on a series I was watching as laughable and horribly written (which was a shame... but when the characters consistently go out of character... it's a lost cause), some reading...

And I'm still going to need another day to recover from last week....

"We must be very careful not to assign to this deliverance the attributes of a victory. Wars are not won by evacuations."
Winston Churchill on Dunkirk- To Parliament - 4th June 1940

Yeah, it was that kind of a week.

But it's over. And I survived.

I laid my numbers straight in a line
To try to find some wise design.
But none was there, and four and two
Had left and gone to be with you.
I count from one to five to three
And back to one
So now let's see...
I was at three, but now I'm one
No further on than when begun.
I'll start again, and...

So, I finished As You Like It this weekend, and I am working on The Merry Wives of Windsor.
Other than that, nothing much.

I *so* wish it were still the weekend. Oh well, one day down.
