of revenge and regret
Sep. 18th, 2017 09:25 pmOf revenge:
One of the Mad Geniuses said that in a couple of years, there will be people voting who weren't even born when the Twin Towers were attacked and so they have no personal outrages and a drive for revenge, and no desire to shoulder [the mad geniuses'] causes.
Holly and I think this is a good thing.
Of regret:
I said that if I started over, I'd still make the most of my friendship with Ashley even knowing it would eventually fade away.
Of time:
No matter how hard you grasp, time will always slip between your fingers.
Of dreams:
I had a dream in which I poured red wine/a dirty frenchman on Drow's clothing but everyone was angry at me for it
I had a dream I was being chased so I closed the door and hoped he would follow me into the next door even though I went through the doorway after that. I
I had a dream I was talking about Sugar Rain and the Gospel of Corax with someone even though I've not yet read the Gospel of Corax in real life and I even pointed that out in the dream, I was on a wrought-iron balcony covered in tropical plants and I said that it was certainly Ashley's loss.
Of wildlife:
Sapir has a very long-haired hamster named whatever the Hebrew word for sesame is, which I believe is סוּמסוּם or possibly שׂוּמשׂוּם. Again, Google Translate does not transliterate Hebrew or Persian. And once again, I think they added a few new languages and they didn't. I'm also pretty sure that France is saving their nukes for people who come up with Occitan or Breton translators.
Jen described Sam the parrot as a smaller Len who has a nose made from pruning shears and thinks water bottles are his enemy and he gets them so he can feel empowered.
Greg was talking about cuterebra, a fly larva which embeds itself in the skin of various animals, a type of myiasis, while we were eating. I think we have an animal with some kind of myiasis that is probably caused by Cuterebra sp, probably a squirrel or a cottontail. There's a wasp that seeks out box turtles to lay an egg in, and the larva comes with instructions to embed itself in a cyst with an air hole so it can breathe and then flies out when it becomes an imago, and it's a more or less commensal relationship.
We have a bunch of baby squirrels and they're all problem children. Even if their limbs are permanently fucked up, we're going to release them because worst case scenario, at least a hawk or an owl will get a meal out of it.
The snapping turtle has SCUD in one of his forelimbs and we're probably going to release him with only three legs.
It's not yet autumn; we have a ring-billed gull, a few red-tailed hawks (and we have small mice), a few larger waterfowl (and by that, I mean we have three, one of which is a goose, one of which is a swan, and one of which is unknown to me), and a few house sparrows.
The fox was found in Lakeville so maybe it wasn't the same fox. I don't know how big fox territories are but I don't think they stretch across multiple large towns.
Kelsey says she prefers hot to humid. I like how it finally got warm last week but this seemingly endless stream of hurricanes is ruining it.
Good thing Greg's not in the Virgin Islands. I don't know what the fuck Jose is doing but I hope Maria stays the fuck away.
burning question: does putting ((( ))) over the word Jews cancel it out or multiply it?
