I am banning myself from the internet for the next three days, so I can get some writing done. I'll prep 1 mystery post for each day! so you won't feel lonely.

can you tell i'm just hanging around on the internets tonight?

you might be crazy... you'd better check

I didn't even realize Rorschach inkblot tests were taken seriously anymore, let alone at the heart of a raging controversy over whether it's ok to post them on wiki, along with common answers. I suppose it's all the psychologists out there, in the midst of conducting studies, who are worried their about to lose their grant money.

...Go see yourself! You know you want to!!

The doctor who posted them (he's from Moose Jaw) gives this defense:

“If someone had previous knowledge of the eye chart,” he said, “you can go to the car people, and you could recount the chart from memory. You could get into an accident. Should we take it down from Wikipedia?”

And, Dr. Heilman added, “My dad fooled the doctor that way.”

Bruce Cockburn's "Hoop Dancer"

I was writing a post about dancing on my other blog, and I decided this song needed to be uploaded.

There's a time line
Something like vertical, like perpendicular
Cutting through figures shuffling on horizontal plane
Cutting through the survival pride of the dancers
Through the guilty, sentimental warmth of the crowd
Through to some essence common to us, to original man
To perhaps descendants numberless ... or few

Where it intersects the space at hand
This shaman with the hoops stands
Aligned like living magnetic needle between deep past and looming future
Butterfly pierced on each drum beat, wing beat, thunder clap, static spark, storm front, energy circle delineated by leaping limbs

Why are the comments for music videos never about the music video? This song is great!

Why not ask me something that matters??!!

I still watch this once a year.

Must Haves for the Future Home

I just thought of another one--a high cat limit in the neighborhood we choose (see below story.) While we won't move out there with more than 2 kitties, there's no guarantee we'll stay at that number!

Speaking of cats, there's been a plethora of cat fallings around our building this year, though I've no idea why. Sometime in the winter the dudes above us lost their cat (Fluffy the Doombringer, or whatever his name is) because he fell off the balcony. And it's happened, like, 3 more times with 3 other apartments! Fernando's always telling me about these dropped cats outside the building.

Nombly used to stroll around the very skinny railing of our balcony, so maybe that's what their felines are doing--but he's too old now, and it hasn't occured to Haley.

A controversial bylaw restricting residents of Kent-Agassiz to owning only two cats and two dogs was passed by district council Monday night.

For the second regular council meeting in a row, a delegation of concerned citizens came forward to voice their opposition to the bylaw.

Some fear the bylaw may shut down at least one licensed shelter in the community, while others pointed out the more lenient pet limitations in other municipalities."
