Time! Time!
Mar. 14th, 2002 11:16 amAbout 5 weeks ago I was sure I'd have a draft of my prospectus before my trip. As that is in less than two weeks, I am now much more dubious.
Meanwhile, I have here a book in Italian chock full of articles I need to read at some point -- after I photocopy them, as the book needs to be returned to the I.L.L. office next door before I leave today. Too bad I don't know Italian, but hey, it's descended from Latin, how hard can it be?
Ah, if only I really believed that.
And now, some random points to ponder, both interrogative and declarative:
- What is the point of wearing plastic gloves if you're still going to handle both the money and the food while wearing them?
- Traveling in Europe is more depressing now. Since Euros are roughly equal to dollars, you pretty much know how much you're spending, and that's no good at all.
- How shocking will reality TV try to get before it just fades away?
- It is death to souls to become water, and death to water to become earth. But water comes from earth ; and, from water, soul -- if you want to believe that.
- If you were playing "Gother Than Thou," would you dread getting the card that makes you sing four lines of "This Corrosion"?
- I hope this last somewhat tedious episode of "Buffy" will permit a return to fighting external rather than internal demons.
- Speaking of Buffy, why the hell didn't she get fired from the burger place when she ran off with Riley two weeks ago?
- Masha'allah says: If you are asked by a general or someone who is anxious about war, take the initiater (that is, the querist) from the ascendant, the enemy from the seventh [astrological place]. And if the Moon is receding from some planet and is conjoining with another planet, take [the planet] from which the Moon is receding for the things [indicated by] the descendent. And know this also, that the superior planets are more powerful than those near the earth.
