"tie your mother down / and give me all your love tonight"

I've seen a few people do this random quotation thing, so I thought I would get in on the hot, word-on-word action.

Viz.: hit this site, Random Quotes, which should be quotations, by the way, and select five that embody your personal philosophy on life, the universe, and -- well, you know.



It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)

Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals. We cause accidents.
Nathaniel Borenstein (1957 - )

Let not the sands of time get in your lunch.
National Lampoon, "Deteriorata"



Anyway. The writing goes apace, I guess. Hold on, let me break out the meter again.

Yee-ha, I suppose. I totally skived off Sunday -- what with the moving and all. I did much the same yesterday, even though there were a few pockets of time I should have used. I was too tired; I haven't gotten used to sleeping in the flat yet, so I was breaking down like a Babylonian masonry project yesterday evening. I'm at home right now, if you didn't know and yet care.

I may post a bit of today's work, though it's mostly the sort of writing Gaiman described as "ditch-digging." That is, it has to be there, as a transition sort of thing, but it's not too interesting, really. You people really should make with the comments, though. If you'd like, obviously, but I know several of you do that sort of thing, as you've done it for me before.

Anyway, yes.
