yamamanamaI recommended Light to somebody and I told her everything I want is either out of print or not out yet. That turned out to not be true: one of the things I wanted was neither out of print nor not released, one of the things I wanted would be out much later than I thought it would be.
It was crowded there despite the barricades and increased security, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, TAMERLANE. I guess we're all trying to make the best of what we have, no matter how irreparably fucked up things are now that we've been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century, with its constant surveillance, its millions and millions of watching eyes.
Here is a woman with an eye necklace from Greece whose name is probably something like Katherine or Emmanuela or Evangeline and a shirt that said she's quietly correcting your grammar's thoughts on various animals: Raccoons are cute. Especially baby raccoons. Like pretty much everything. Bats scream. Opossums scream. And that's creepy. One of her friends likes loons a lot.
Here is a woman from Poland's opinions on various animals: Hedgehogs are cute, but they're not wild over here. And no, they're not porcupines. Porcupines are rodents, hedgehogs are hedgehogs. She's totally amazed to see a raccoon brazenly come out on to the street, saunter over to the river, and grab a fish in Boston. Porcupines aren't in Poland as far as she knows. There definitely aren't opossums. Loons are creepy but also awesome. Europe isn't really known for its fauna.
Also, Polish sounds a lot like Russian to a non-Russophone and a non-Polonophone. But Danish does not sound like English. Maybe to somebody who speaks exclusively Shan it does.
Here is a woman with bright red-purple hair's thoughts on various animals: awwww.
Here are my thoughts on the music I heard today: The new thing was kind of cool and I think I've heard the Strauss piece somewhere. Safari's being a dick right now and since AIM works, it's not my internet. The Lark Ascending is awesome and Ralph Vaughan Williams can do no wrong. I think I've already mentioned Beethoven's Pastoral elsewhere and am glad we were not blessed with a thunderstorm when we can't bring backpacks. I think that a drop of rain fell on me earlier.
nobody really notices when you're sweating like Roger Ebert because the air conditioning wasn't working because everybody else is sweating like Roger Ebert.
I think Stand On Zanzibar predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union and the European Union. On the other hand, Fidel Castro has been dead at least a year as of 2010 and so many people use public transit that all the roads have been converted to one lane.
I think we're more isolated than we were in Stand on Zanzibar's 2010, since people are reliant on cars and do all of their shopping online and that allows them to move to the furthest reaches of nowhere. And I don't think that overcrowding has anything to do with people snapping and running amok.
I had this thought at 8:30 AM. I could take a walk in a Littleton, Colorado neighborhood right now and there's a good chance I would not see a single human being. Well, duh, since it's 2 hours before Massachusetts. Or Newtown, CT, for that matter.
How beautiful the world is, and all that is in it.
Burning question: Is it not better to have lived a little bit, just once?
