Ok, I am going to add my admiration of the wonderful, amazing, and disturbing that is Dr. Horrible to the pile already forming.

If you haven't yet made it over to watch it... seriously, do! It is only a half hour long and it is so worth it.

Acts I and II are up now and Act III will go up on Saturday. They will all be available for viewing until midnight on Sunday. So head over there and watch. OMGz!

I love spring rain! Warm, beautiful refreshing rain! This is why I live in Seattle. ladydrakaina and I just stood outside enjoying the rain and it is wonderful. I'm looking forward to our buggy house!

We are trying to come up with house names for us. Something that is not "Bug House"

Ideas include names that evoke a theme of permanence. Also things we keep talking about are "ravens", "tails", "faeries" "bugs" "blue" "scorpios" "rivers"

Any house names coming to mind?

So, what needs to go on my To Do list this week?

Ideas?

Thank you for your love!

2008-05-03T16:36:35Z

Thank you all so much for the love and support all of you have provided me this week. I have spent the week with my family who have gathered from all over to be here for Grandpa's memorial on Sunday. We will be celebrating the life of a wonderful man and mourning the loss of him in our own lives.

If you so wish, you can read his obit online. I love all of you for your words and support. They really do mean alot to me. I'm sorry I haven't been able to respond to all of you but I have read every comment and they help me a lot!'

I do want to post one thing that was written to me by my wonderful madhouse51. He wrote this for me on Thursday after he heard Grandpa had passed. And in case you hadn't seen it I wanted to make sure everyone could read it. It is beautiful. Thank you, love.

He sat by the fire's light as long as he could. One by one his family, his students and his friends hugged him. He smiled gently wiping tears from each of their eyes. "Stay" they begged him, "if only for another night"

He shook his head but the smile never faded from his lips. "I would not wish it if I could. My time here has been long and I have learned much. What I have learned I have taught and those that I have touched live still so I live still. Now I must walk on for there is more to learn and others to teach and touch".

So one by one they passed their way leaving him at the fireside as the embers waned.

A voice, low and soothing, spoke to him. "Are you ready my son?" He turned and gazed into the ancient face of the CrossRoads. Wrinkles creased her cheeks as she smile sweetly at him but her eyes sparkled with the vibrance of youth.

A last, longing look he cast over his shoulder. He could still see the faces of the countless he had known. They were his teachers, his mentors. They were his students. They were his lovers, his families and his enemies. And they had all become better for knowing him.

"Yes," he turned and reached out his hand. She laced her bony fingers through his and drew him in to kiss him lovingly on his smiling lips.

"Don't worry about them," she comforted him. "My sisters will see them through until it is their time to await me by the fire. Then you will see them again,"

Taking up a torch, CrossRoads led her son further down his path.

Blessed be the wanderer
Blessed be the road he travels
Blessed be those who mourn him
Blessed be those that celebrate him
As it was in days long past
As it will be for ever more
So mote it be.

Jonathan Coulton is playing two shows at the Triple Door on April 26th at 8pm and 27th at 9:30pm. I would like to go to one of these but I would prefer not to go alone. Any of my beautiful friends out there wanna join me on one of these nights? It is $22 for tickets.

Jonathan Coulton is the singer who does the Codemonkey Song, Skullcrusher Mountain, Re: Your Brains, and plenty of other songs that filter through my human iPod brain. :)

So what do you think?

You Are 48% Girly

You're a little girly, a little boyish, and probably a whole lot indie.

You have your own unique style, and it pretty much defies gender lines.

Your Theme Song is Beautiful Day by U2

"Sky falls, you feel like

It's a beautiful day

Don't let it get away"

You see the beauty in life, especially in ordinary everyday moments.

And if you're feeling down, even that seems a little beautiful too.

What's Your Theme Song?

Oh this is a good one for me, right now!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Marie Poland Fish was an oceanographer who invented a new form of underwater sound detection for the navy. To perfect the technology, she spent years studying the sounds made by 300 different species that live in the sea. Her innovations allowed attack vessels to tell the difference between enemy submarines and schools of fish, thereby avoiding assaults on the fish. She's your role model for the coming week, Scorpio. May she inspire you to develop foolproof methods for distinguishing between actual threats and the harmless influences that may superficially resemble them.

Counting down the minutes...

I want it to be 5pm. This day has DRAGGED by! My cohorts in crime for the weekend are safe at Soulfood down the street, awaiting the time I can escape the confines of this building!

It sounds like they had an interesting "road trip" up from Ft. Lewis through the snow. Brave souls they are to drive in that. :) Brave soul she is to ride with him. :)

Seriously, WTF? Snow?

Question time

2008-03-27T19:08:14Z

March is Ask a Question Month - or so say people on LiveJournal. So, comments are screened, ask me a question, which will be answered in a separate post. Any question. Any question at all. As always with this sort of thing, I reserve the right not to answer. That probably won't happen, but I reserve the right all the same.

I just found this poem, written by Eric Chen at http://iautistic.com/

Prayer of Practicality (inspired by the Prayer of Saint Francis)
Inner Inspiration
Remind me of why I came into this life
So that I may pray with sincerity

(a moment of silence for reflection)

Inner Inspiration, lead me to practice my ideals
May I learn from those whom I dislike
May I appreciate criticism which insults me
May I learn the key to harmony from conflicts
May I demonstrate wisdom in times of error
May I remain clear when faced with my desires
May I honor this prayer when facing trouble
May I inspire those whom I find wanting
May I be wise enough to celebrate my suffering

Inner Inspiration, lead me to use myself as my instrument
To comfort others through comforting myself
To understand others through understanding myself
To love others through loving myself
And to become the change that I seek

For it is by self-experience that one is touched
By self-forgiving that one is forgiven
By moving with the world that one moves the world
And by making history that one understands history
