It's the Autumnal Equinox. It's more specific than just the date as well, it's actually 12 hours before the Equinox itself, and 12 hours after. It's counter to the Vernal Equinox (maybe counter is the wrong word, temporally opposite?), which is when I usually ask for something. Since I ask for something on the one, I thought it appropriate to sacrifice something on the other.

Wow... that's pretty surprising that you're happy still, but I'm glad to hear it. Anything special about the date you've chosen to fast each year?

I don't have a blah-g. I'll do one for you here, to the general amyooosement of anyone watching.

1. Something random... You giggle like a little girl. It's cute and endearing... if you're a little girl. When you're 6'5" and look like a serial rapist, it's kinda creepy.
2. Brass Monkey - Beastie Boys. (Yeah, you like that, dontcha?)
3. Would you like a Whiskey Sour? Sure, I knew you would.
4. Jew!!! I mean, Jesus!
5. "Who is this tall drink of water coming into Danny's basement? Oh shi, he better watch his head or else he's gonna hit... oh. Looks like he's been here before."
6. An albino ape. Yeah, you're not hairy, but you have no neck, and your arms look like they'd drag the ground if you stooped over.
Anyone ever tell you that? Goddamn you are tall and have long arms. They do make for great hugs though :)
7. Did you really think I'd ever sleep with you? Duh.

Network integration. Applications that not only recognize one another but allow each other to take over certain functions and perform its commands. And yet, most of us, even if pressed, couldn't be forced to give our next-door neighbor's last name. Because we don't know. Because we don't care.

Sometimes I look at the plethora of technological fait accompli out there and wonder, "Why am I not more into this? I don't really 'get' it, but it seems like I should." I'm an engineer, bred from a long line of techies; It's practically in my DNA. There are, of course, the philosophical debates: Does any of this new technology make us happier? Does it make us better human beings? For all the connectedness that the "web" or "net" implies, haven't we instead grown more apart?

I'm not here to answer those questions. I'm not a philosopher. I'm just a techie who... doesn't get it.

What I do get:
-Walking in the woods at twilight when the air is cold and the noctunal animals emerge, wary and yet curious. The stars twinkle in a pale orchid sky as the last embers of the day burn out.
-Lifting a glass of '02 Shiraz/C. Sauv./C. Franc blend, swirling it lazily around, closing my eyes and breathing in the esters, then taking a large sip and letting the wine luxuriate in my mouth.
-Inching up to the line on a drag strip in a car you've built up yourself, checking your gauges, grip the wheel and shift knob, one more inch... two lights yellow, rev to 3500 RPM,
yellow
yellow
GREEN!
And the world rockets past you in a AWD launching blur, everything is automatic, clutch, shift, throttle, release, clutch, shift, throttle, release,
clutch, shift, throttle, release,
clutch, shift, throttle, release,
and brake!

Honestly, I don't understand the gadget mentality, the apps, WoW, Mac vs. PC, any of it. Maybe I haven't given it enough of a fair chance. Maybe I haven't given it enough time. Some argue I don't have the mental capacity (lol!). I just figured I always found something else more personally fulfilling for me to be doing. To each his own, I guess.

But to be honest... I just don't get it.

And you made your blog mobile friendly. I love you. (I am commenting from under the covers while you sleep btw)

Starhawk — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 01:39:02 -0000

Fair enough I guess. I haven't touched my blog in years. Someday I oughta start fresh.

Re: Bother…

nigma — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 07:41:17 -0000

1. You have the longest hair of any man I know.
2. Barenaked Ladies - Old Apartment
3. Crown and coke
4. So, this one time at an apartment off of 38th St. ...
5. You walking into work at Telamon.
6. An owl, duh.
7. I sat here for five minutes and came up with nothing. Anyway, you lose one answer cause you cheated, you don't have a blog to post this to, or if you do, I don't know the address.

This apartment weakens my resolve, also I'm tired. I concede a bit more (but only b/c it's easy and obvious).

#6. Bear. (That's kinda cheating. You don't remind me of a bear. You are a bear.) I change my answer to Cat. You sometimes remind me of a cat.

I'm gonna go to bed before I say something stupid.

Re: Bother…

Kate-Kathy-Whatever I'm callin — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 02:12:21 -0000

Grrrr... curiosity will not win. However # 4 is quite fitting...

#4. "You can do what you want, I won't because I have morals." (paraphrased)

Sorry, if you want to know the answers you'll have to play the game.

Re: Bother…

Kate — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 17:36:09 -0000

I cannot in good conscience participate in blog spam, however since I am your girlfriend I insist that you tell me these things sometime. At least they are mostly somewhat amusing questions.

Re: Bother…

nigma — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 19:06:11 -0000

1. Your hair smells like lemons.
2. Dreamin' by BT.
3. A really good bottle of wine.
4. Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream is sticky when it melts.
5. Dropping off a friends car that you were buying.
6. A lemur, inquisitive with bursts of energy.
7. When are you going to come out and play again?

Re: Bother…

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 14:25:19 -0000

Oh fine. I'll play too. I might even put it in my blog.

Re: Bother…

nigma — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:15:35 -0000

1. Your new myspace profile picture is scary.
2. Anything by Evanescence
3. California Sunrise, only thing I think I might actually be able to keep up with you on.
4. Indeed, the chef's fate is sealed.
5. Meeting you at Denny's, inviting Jeremy out, and you making him a much better offer.
6. She-wolf, dangerous until you know how to handle her.
7. What were you going to cook me for dinner?

Re: Bother…

Brittney — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 18:03:45 -0000

Obviously I request that you do me, pretty please? ;)

And just in case you didn't recheck my blog, here are my answers for you.

1. You are terrified of guns.
2. The movie "Ultraviolet" (mostly because I think it is very "Shadowrun-ish")
3. Pomegranate Martini, my fave drink ever.
4. Never ever order the nachos at Red Eye Cafe lol
5. My first memory of you, is you playing Shadowrun at Derrick and Jeremy's every Friday.
6. An owl. (An icon of knowledge, generally quiet, aloof, yet always aware of your surroundings)
7. If you could do one thing different in our friendship, what would it be?

I have one of those sitting in the queue to be leveled. Too bad EQ2 takes up most of my time now when I'm not raiding ZA+.

I'd then have to admit to rolling Horde, just to see what drowning in epics is like, sadly, my Blood Elf Mage is still a lowbie.

Re: You know…

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 13:58:24 -0000

Yeah, I'll own up to some fond memories of that. I still keep the Alliance characters around in case I get bored of drowning in Epics.

Re: You know…

nigma — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:53:14 -0000

Admittedly, the supposed jealousy was mostly feigned. Also, some of us share fond memories of smaller desks and times you rolled Alliance .

Re: You know…

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 11:06:17 -0000

Oddly enough, that looks very similar to my desk set up. My desk is bigger, and I roll Horde.
