fractured reality

Maybe if I stopped listening to Sad Bastard music, that would also help.

Fucking hell.

p.s. Also: crazy dreams involving Becca and Her and the Rock (what. the. fuck?)

I see it stretched out ahead of me. October to me will always be the sun shining on my face, the dark grey ocean and sky ahead of me, rough water ahead, evident to see. The ship chops through the waves which are growing, and I want to reach out across the years to myself back then and scream, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?”

The younger me of course wouldn’t hear, the warning dying on the ocean.

My ears ring, my wrists scream, and I wonder if I shouldn’t seek therapy.

At least, as they say, it is Friday.

And of course today I am so very tired. Just not enough sleep last night. Bleh.

The cool weather makes me VERY happy. And soon September will be done with.

A week from tomorrow, I’ll probably go visit Rainey, and that will be good.

Yesterday our staff Novell server tanked. On reboot, only the SYS volume would come back up properly. It was not fixed until 7 this morning, which is comletely ridiculous and awful.

I seriously need to find other employment or buckle down and prepare to weather the storm.

I’ll wake up soon. Maybe I’l lwrite more then. I apologize for the lack of text, I’ve been writing more elsewhere lately.

The little critters of nature, they don’t know that they’re ugly.

Gonna be that kind of a morning. Whee too much coffee!

EEEEEE

This weekend we went twice to the street festival that surrounded the park a block from our house. They festival blocks off two of the streets on the park and participants are assigned a chunk of pavement and given some very nice soap-based chalk with which to work. The chalk is really nice stuff, very richly colored, and since it is soap based, it works very well with water, whether it is mixed in with the crushed substance, or spritzed on with a bottle and then smeared in some fashion. Then, for most of Saturday and Sunday (they stop in the evening for various festy activities) they are free to decorate their space. The whole thing is naturally open to the public to observe and participate (there are public areas for children and others to draw as well).

I originally thought I’d go through and resize the pictures to which I’m about to refer, but after looking at them I realize that a lot of the texture would be lost in the compression. So I’m leaving these up as they are for now, be forewarned that they are 2-3 MB apiece.

You can see an index of directory of the pieces I liked enough to bother getting pictures of HERE. (I may go back later and add the earlier pictures from when many of the works were still in progress.)

My absolute favorite one is the one with the giraffes, although the offering from Urban Gardener was really cute too.

Aside from typical fair food (of which there was some) the North Market had a smattering of booths, including Benevolence and Jeni’s. Mmmm. The baked tofu sandwich I had included some sort of peanut vinegar(?) sauce that was absolutely amazing.

And so it is with understandably great reluctance that I return to work this morning, to face our Horrendous New Print Server Fuck Up.

Ah well.
