A month: August, when the light’s direction changes noticeably and slants across the floor, when morning light is much like afternoon light, golden with dust motes. A time when the first promise of harvest is on the wind, along with the first warnings of winter. It is a liminal month…
A weekday: I’d love to be a long, lazy Sunday afternoon, but I know I’m more like Wednesday, stuck in the middle of the work-week and far longer than a mere 24 hours.
A time of day: 2am, when the bars close and there’s nothing left to do except go home alone.
A planet: Earth, heavy, solid and dependable, with a majority of life going on unseen and hidden
A furniture: An apothecary’s chest, lots of little drawers and compartments filled with dusty dried herbs that might be useful if you could identify them...
A fruit: A persimmon – you have to know when it’s ripe enough to be juicy, otherwise it’s hard, dry and bitter
A sin: - Sloth. I think it’s pretty self-evident as to why
A liquid: - Cornstarch & water paste. Shake it enough & you’ll find monsters.
A tree: - Hmmm… A mulberry tree – if you let it grow roots you cannot move it and it will prevent you from doing anything useful with your yard whatsoever.
A flower: - Foxglove for its shape and color, belying the usefulness and danger in its leaves
A type of weather: - A thunderstorm, beautiful when in a rage but safer to look at from a distance
An animal: - An sea otter, with a rock and a sea urchin to bash on it, sleek and playful and so at home in the water
A colour: - Wine red
An herb: - Rosemary – all meat tastes better with rosemary on it
A voice - A rich, husky woman’s voice with just a hint of babydoll in it, like Jennifer Tilly’s
A chemical element – Sodium chloride – salt. Purifying, drying, but much like rosemary, everything tastes better with a touch of salt, even chocolate
A car: - A 1965 Ford Mustang – sporty yet solid, edgy yet traditional, muscular but agile, and every guy secretly wants one (and so do a lot of women)
A food: - Crème bruleé –light, refined, sophisticated and so decadent
A drink made of alcohol: - Tequila sunrise
A place on earth: - Costa Rica, one of the last remaining rainforests, sustaining life and protecting it
A number: - 1. Yes, I’d like to be #1. It’s true. Mainly because 1 doesn’t need any other number’s support, but it supports other numbers, and you can always make a number greater by adding a 1 to it. Strike that... I want to be # 8. It's got great curves!
A date: - February 11, 1990 – a great wrong was righted on this day and the world is a better place for it.
Shoes: - Broken-in, mismatched Converse sneakers, funky, free-spirited and functional - and boy are they comfy!
A saying: - Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light
A song: - Ramble On – Led Zeppelin.
A movie: - Ralph Bakshi’s Wizards
A character from a book: - Max from Where the Wild Things Are
A mythological creature: - A selkie or selchie or silkie. I might actually be one, but I can't find my seal skin. I think Coyote stole it.
A character from a comic/manga: - Neil Gaiman’s Death from the Sandman series… She put the fun back in funerals.
Ok, so I actually have something that made me happy. I was able to successfully use System Restore to get rid of the stupid mp3codec virus. I found something out about Sys Restore - it works way better if you can boot in safe mode. I am also pretty freaking happy that I was able to figure out HOW to boot in safe mode in the first place!
Another thing that makes me happy is that I scored an 84.5 on my Security+ final exam. I really fucked off with that class & when I found out the final was going to be adaptive & not based on the other chapter quizzes, I figured I was going to fail (especially since the only things that counted towards the class grade were the midterm & the final). But, I actually managed to find the answers I didn't know and I passed!
And yes, this semester has finally ended!!!! My computer works & so it's WoW for the next month or so!!!!
