Glasses and headaches, burdens and relief.
Nostia is a city of shadows and memory, its denizens are blind or going so, and the blind from other places migrate here assured of sympathy among the sightless citizenry. For these reasons, Nostia is the most treasured of all cities. Those going blind look upon her their last time as if seeing her their first time… faces, places they will not know again, consummations that will never taste as sweet. They will look at the simplest thing, the yellowing curl of a dry leaf, and they will see in it expressed all the sorrow of the world cupped in its curve, the passing of time, memory.
There are cities within cities in Nostia. Closed, lost worlds, systems of thought, language, gesture that fade from the consciousness of the citizenry, who nightly close their eyes on things long past, or things that never were, images already darkening or wearing away. New worlds also, for every sensation of Nostia, every touch, scent, sound, is pregnant with association. Many are those who will sit for long hours in revelry, when the sound of a flute or the soft murmur in a voice, puts them in mind of warm afternoons and quiet siestas.
These are fleeting, fading syllables, and the images will never seem as real. The words savor of bitterness, turn to ash, bile on the lips, holding one meaning for the sighted and another for the blind. Another name for Nostia is “The City of Trifles”, for memory is an uneven thing, and the most insignificant pittances catch in it.
Ahhh! Nothing says accomplishment more than having all the bills paid, groceries gathered, the house clean, and a happy orange cat in your lap as you read a good book, and watch Aliens (Alien II) on FX.
Life. Is. Good.
I have a bag of switches
[update 5:35] – I am now playing Aliens vs Predator. Hearing a space marine screaming “Game over, man! Game over!” Time to go on a bughunt.
Back from my errands.
Picked up some cleaning supplies for the bathroom, I ran out of tilex.
Got an area rug, and a futon for the living room… plus a indoor doormat to match the area rug.
minor groceries, just fluids & cereal, really
some trinkets of happiness for newt (plastic bags to play in, and milk rings) myself (the cereal toy… looks like a digital watch) and for my sweetheart(not tellin’..she’ll have to drag it out of me or romance it out. 😉
Thought a bit more on Jack & Liz’s story… I’d like to see if I can get the effect of changeling in there, minus the amnesia. Trying to write more as a semi-script for a film or movie, too, just to get the feel of it.
Pondering the coming days of gifties… my brother, Kevin, Newt, Moonflower, and Mom are all coming in the next few months. I was at K-mart today, and saw all sorts of kung-fu DVDs for cheap (like $5 per…) and I showed some restraint. but… I could get 5 or 10 of ’em for Kev, and that’d make him happy. He likes chop-socky kung-fu more than I do. Maybe that, and or a video game.. easily enough done.
Derek… I wonder if he’d prefer cash to a gift, as he’s going through tight times right now. I offer to give him cash now and then, but I think he feels guilty for taking it… He will if he’s starving but not a moment before. maybe money and a nicely written letter. I don’t know.. I could get him a sound card, too… he’s still using a mute system.
Newt, he’s not in the picture until the first week of October. I can’t believe he’s going to be 2! The simplest to shop for… Nip, toys, and lots and lots of love.
sleep station…
My boy loves the laundry pile! dirty clothes, or fresh towels especialy.
what a doofus. I wonder if my musk smells like nip.
pre grumpy cat
from http://www.mycathatesyou.com/ of course. full of kitties looking evil.
Even cute little kittens think livejournal is crap right now. 🙂
Ah well, it’s all relative. I’m at work still doing what I do in order to eat, sleep with a roof, and keep Newton and my self in relative comfort and quiet. I hear DJ is looking for money, now too… apparently a lot of folks are jumping ship, and heading over there. Working on my laptop, writing a short story…we’ll see where it takes me.
Going to bed.

Know what I’m pondering?
Why Newt is cuter in my boxer shorts than I am.
see below.

Heck, I think he’s a good stand-in for Bob… don’t you? there must be something about nice goate’ed guys with orange cats getting the beautiful girls, eh? 🙂
Work… if you call it that.
Watching the ten commantments on the dvd-rom, cat at my feet, purring.
About time I reaped some rewards. 🙂
So let it be written… So let it be done.
hee hee… I knew it. as soon as I set up a contingency plan, either LJ’s working fine, or I have to work double-time today, so I can’t post anyhow.
Well, it’s nice to have the fire exits clearly marked, anyhow.
Good News! Newt’s coming into work with me tomorrow! I should get some extra litter to keep at work.
Next possibility… Newtcam @ work? I have the laptop.

lj news with a nice, complete state of affairs. state of the goat address. I know I appreciated it.
Back from my movie-time with brother… I was treated this time around 🙂 We saw kiss of the dragon…a fine chop-socky jet li movie.
Our time together was short today, and we didn’t get much talking in… but we had a good day, I have a bus adventure written up on my laptop, which I will synch into my journal the next time I bring lappie online.
Bonus- big brain is working quite well, since I pulled his extra ram… sadly, he only has 128 meg in there now… I look forward to bringing him up to 2 gig. (I’m a ram piggy… I admit it.)
Anyhoo, I’m going to make a little bite to eat, and shower… then gather all washable laundry stuff. I don’t want to do it, but I must. (I’m hoping my sweetie will stroll by, and distract me a bit… I’m thinking about her. 🙂 )
Note to self – Get Newton more magic middles! we have 4 left!
Ok, procrastinate until 5, then off tho the ‘mat, until 7…hopefully, to see my sweetpea thenish. 🙂
Well, I got my cable!
testing –
My gosh… was my everway group a year ago already? I’ve also officially been on the noon-8 shift a year now.
My everway Character. My favorite diceless roleplay game. You get cards with pictures on them, and you use them to resolve any issues… a neat idea.
Hmm… newtcam froze at about 5:45 tonight, and my ftp password is being blocked… I’ll have to call dave in the morning.
thanks to
Got off my butt, and will be having cable installed next Saturday sometime between 11am and 2 pm. Pricey… 19.95 a month until December, then it jumps to $41.50 (at which time I’ll either renegotiate, succumb to the new pricing, go with another company, or get a direct TV setup. for now, $20 is ok. If I kill it before December, they charge a $20 kill fee.
my plans for today.
Spend time with sweetheart, and give her lots of love.
Spend time with Newton, and give him lots of love.
Buy some pants (tore a pair yesterday, they need replacing)
get an area rug/Persian at Walmart
shop for a sofa/bookshelves/coffee table at the following –
Faith farm, salvation army , wal-mart, consignment. Mission: find a nice one, and have it delivered. (I can honestly say it took my admiring my sweetheart’s abode to spur me on to furnish mine. )
figure out how I want the living room to be arranged.
I figure that if I don’t see my sweetie by about 1pm, I’ll launch and get on the chores, and save the fun lovey stuff for later.
Note to self, do review of planet of the apes later.
nutshell – it wasn’t bad. better than three of the sequels from in the original series. compared to the original, it had very little heart. entertaining, though.
looks like lj is having some image issues… none of the emotion icons, or lj user /etc seem to be making themselves visible.
