valarltdIt's Wednesday. This is nice.
There was a coolness in the air this morning. It will fade as we approach 90, but it was nice not to work up a sweat walking across the quad at 8 AM. It's the first sure sign that Summer's on the wane, and we're approaching Still Summer. (We have 4 seasons: Almost Summer, Summer, Still Summer, and Rainy/Icy Muck)
I got the broken shutters off my house yesterday, because it's the first day in ages where I didn't want to faint the moment I stepped out of air-conditioned house or air-conditioned car.
The kids did their t-shirts yesterday, and Obi painted what he calls his Pagan Sneakers: Sun on one toe, Crescent Moon on the other, Fire on one heel, Water on the other. His own design. I'm just trying to salvage what we can for Mid South Fair. Time is limited, money is limited.
They're all decorating cakes, and Jonner wants to bake biscuits.
Jonner had a bad day Sunday.He wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one sort and another. He was destructive (I had to repair the futon) and stole $10 from his dad's wallet. He hasn't yet learned we know EXACTLY how much is in our wallets at any given time. He was sent to bed early with a stern talk from Dad.
Dollface had to draw 3 things that start with M as her homework. She drew a Mommy Monster eating Mice. Normal children would draw mittens, moons, mice, milk and monkeys. Normal children are boring.
Bun's theater director is new to the area. Bun wore her "For the geek shall inherit the earth" tee yesterday. The director chickled, shook her head and said "I worry about you. I really do." Then she figured out we're all crazy.
I got the Harrison Ford Slobber song finished, but I can't seem to render it. It's saved as a WMM file, but I can't get it to .wmv because it keeps crashing. Got the small version saved tho'. Luke and Roy, juxtaposed. Interesting tastes in blonds. Did not, however, use Working Girl, although Six Days, Seven Nights made it in (Angelica, not the blonde)
That gives me 2 for Z-con. Mudd is working on "Windmills of your mind" as a River-focus Firefly vid. Obi did up Mr. "Roboto." Bun has "Still Rock and Roll to Me" going as a Han/Luke slash vid. (it's working) 3/5 are Star Wars, and one has SW content. Maybe I need to make a quick Brimstone watch and get "Man in the Long Black Coat" out? Or get going with that "Crystal Cave" vid for Zoe and "Who I am" for Mal?
Crystal Cave
August 2003
Sooj Tuckjer
I woke up on a journey, the road ahead in my mind's eye
its lessons universal and its beauty hard to hide
The way, it opened for me like the drawbridge of a castle
Underneath the tragedy I found the Cave of Crystal
Do not fear the traps you set years ago,
now seething to taste your blood.
Knowledge will not come unless you're bold enough to peek inside.
Follow Inanna's footsteps down. To hell with the bumpy ride.
Follow Inanna's footsteps down.
We'll find what you need in the Underground.
So what if the story takes you to where the river's dressed in black?
The Ferryman will know you by the Reaper on your back.
The way will open for you like the drawbridge of a castle.
Wild times ahead before you find Merlin's Cave of Crystal.
Whether on Dragonwing you fly, or gust of an idea from the mind,
don't you look above for what you're hoping to find.
It's been inside you all along, child.
Hiding inside you so many ways; burning brightly all these days.
Follow Inanna's footsteps down.
We'll find what you need in the Underground.
Follow the daughter's footsteps down.
We'll find you a king in the Underground.
Follow the Lady's footsteps down.
Go into the Green in the Underground.
Follow Inanna's footsteps down.
Believe what you see in the Underground.
Girl you must prove bold and brave
Go wandering inside the Crystal Cave
You will know it as your own mind before the sun dies away.
You'll see your heart's dreams come into play.
Shining, shimmering, all these days!

Did I mention Bun's wanting a guitar? And lessons?
Maybe for her birthday, with lessons over the summer.
Need to make a couple hats this afternoon for the fair.
But first, there are clothes to be dropped at the Gay & Lesbian Center (after 6), bills to pay and maybe some lunch.
Mudd's thinking about joining the PFlag Chess team for the Memphis Gaymes in Oct. And this weekend is the Cooper-Young Street Festival.
My database class is in 1/2 an hour. I'm out of it on sinus meds, and feeling no pain.
