Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I get the eye twitch when I'm tired and/or stressed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I had my upper eyelid twitching for five weeks once. Made me want to hurt people. Stress and lack of potassium are causes, apparently. I think it was potassium, anyway.

Recently vision in my good eye has sometimes been blurry around three o'clock or so. I was afraid it was stress of my having to rely entirely on that eye for computer work, but my opthalmologist told me that I'm getting close to the point where I'll need bifocals (the eye was just getting tired). She also told me to relax the eye periodically when at work by looking at objects further away than my monitor.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Stress makes sense; I don't know why I didn't think of that. But I'll also try the far-away focus thing. And bananas.

I can't do fine needlework anymore because it has to be closer than my current glasses can focus. I'd have gotten bifocals with these last glasses--I'm 45--except I can still read without having to hold the book (too) far away.

It's an insanely quiet day here (b.org here and work here). For your amusement, todays librarian cartoon.

Recently I've taken up electronics as a hobby. I've discovered that when I try to solder tiny stuff, etc. that I just can't see tiny things close up like I used to be able to. (Crappy vision in one eye doesn't help.) There's some stuff that I just would not be able to do without a magnifying glass.

My right eye's been twitching all week, which is about right for my stress levels.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have a question for Buffista lawyers...

Can a college theatre department sell (at a prophet) videos of past productions of non-original material-- that is, the production is riginal and we paid for rights to put it on, but the playwright is still alive?

It seems to me no, but that if we are just asking for fees for materials to make copies for the cast or something, then it is OK?

How about on-line streaming of entire productions (not exerpts for advertising purposes)?
