I'm reading Rob Brezsny's Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia... I'm trying to combat the overwhelming wave of negativity that my job & school have become & Brezsny's stuff usually lightens me up a little. So I was in the bathroom just now, reading in my usual multi-tasking in the bathroom way when I come across a quote by Marcel Proust: The only real voyage consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes; in seeing the universe through the eyes of another, one hundred others - in seeing the hundred universes that each of them sees. and at the bottom of the blurb it said, 'Translated by Kiyotesong'.
Apparently, my altar ego knows French.
Bwahahahaha!
Not that anyone cares, but the reason my 'Music' selection is usually ticking clocks... there's a clock in Rob's bathroom that ticks & echoes into the living room. There's another clock in the sideroom/den of the living room that ticks really loud, and the clock over the t.v. also ticks loudly. And they are all out of synch, so when the house is quiet, like now, I get the constant sound of 'tick-tick-tick, tock-tock-tock' echoing through the living room. Why all the clocks? I honestly have no clue. There's a digital atomic clock on my computer desk, and a clock on both the old DVD player & the newer DVR, and a clock on my stereo in the sideroom/den area, and a clock on each computer, so that's 6 to 8 clocks in the living room (depending on if one or both computers is turned on or not, right now mine's on but Rob's still asleep), a clock on the microwave in the kitchen, a clock in each of our bathrooms, two clocks in my bedroom, one in Rob's room, and clocks on our cell phones. 14 to 16 clocks in this house, each set to a slightly different time... and I still can't get to a doctor's appointment on time, and I'm usually running late for work.
