Hey, Allyson. I found that guy's drawing...I knew I kept it. One of my few crazy stories with...evidence.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
What I'd like to do today is play all my Miyazaki, at least the ones that have wonderful sky and cloud scenes: Totoro, Kiki, Spirited Away, Howl, copy them into one long sky and clouds dvd and set it to some nice image-evoking, low-emotion-demandy instrumental music. I've been looking for a way to the other side of the looking glass for the last little while. A door in the hedge to slip through, out of real life and the need to interact, cope, deal. Just a place to hide and recharge, with no demands and no expectations, for just a little while.

If I only had a brain...
That sounds absolutely splendid. Maybe Kitaro's *Silk Road*?

A definite possibility.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That is a fantastic idea. I would pay you money to do that.

Heh. Too late. Afternoon over.
...Aaaand I have neither the hardware, the software, or really, the expertise to actually do it. But I'd buy it if somebody else would do it!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. Yeah, I know. That's why I would rather pony up the cash. But surely it's an art form that someone is obsessive over. I mean, this is the internet, right? People do fan vids, surely someone is doing arty cloud vids.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I'd want a whole panel of screens on one wall, so I could look at clouds all day long. Someone make it so, please?
Binary Numbers
They say there are two sides to every story. There is black and white, good and evil. Like computers, humans try to put everything into a binary format; strings of ones and zeros that add up to something meaningful to us, even if not to the uninitiated. Unlike computers, though, we put moral values on our ones and zeros. A one in one person’s math may be good, but to someone else a one is bad. Yet, they are both ones. It’s hard to see the other side of the story when everyone thinks they have-- the one true story.

I like, Sail. Okay, all caught up. I'm going to go watch tv/dvds now and get all behind again.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
The Other Side of this Mountain
Wherever I stand on this land, there is another side. Every other side is inhabited, ghosts and memory, unrealised wishes.
East, there's all of America; Chicago, Boston, shows in upstate New York, at the Garden, in clubs. Beyond that, the Atlantic, England: your roots, my escape that wasn't.
West, there's the Pacific, remembering how your English skin disliked the Hawaiian sun.
South is LA, where you ran from me after I ran from you.
North, Marin - Mt. Tamalpais, our house tucked under the mountain's back shoulder.
Someday, maybe, I'll figure out where on the other side I lost my courage.
