Veronique, my iPod, lists him as Luke 7 Norton, but the blog community commonly calls him Capt. Lovejones. For a while now he has been listed in my right sidebar with a link to his blog. This blog appears to be defunct. I believe he is running another site which I hope to link to soon.
Don't be afraid! Don't be angry... the link to Capt. Lovejones is about be replaced by an evolution of the original. All the goodness continues, sum in potentia. There will be a short evolution while the status quo is cocooned, yes.
In a larger sense, a grander scale, let me reiterate. Be not angry. Some changes that are being effected will on the surface be misunderstood, but are undertaken with the sincerest hopes of improving everything.
Now, depending how much time you have, there are two choices. Take care of business and be assured that by the next visit there will be improvements. OR: stick about while it happens
Either way is good.

To do list
-Memorize the damned script for this play "The Good Person of Northern Ontario." It is in fact Brecht's "Good Lady of Szechuan." I am so very dubious about this play. Suck it up, pull it together. It can still happen.
-Essay on the movie Closer. But first I have to Watch the movie Closer. It's not too late. Suck it up, pull it together.
-Essay on the movie The Doctor. I have Already watched this film, so I am even keel on this one. If I can just pull it together, it's quite do-able.
-Reading for Bruce Ward's class (which incidentally has been pretty cool overall): a little Pascal. Kierkegaard. Doable.
-The above is a lead in to prepping for an essay and exam.
-Get in shape for the final in Aitken's class. Honestly, all I ask is a frikkin' pass in this class. It is largely fluff.
-Clean the house, put out the garbage (too late for this week), get recycling out for tomorrow, Pick up some groceries, shovel the step... etc., etc.,
-rewrite a myth and damn well hand it in right soon! (suck it up, pull it together)
-Work. Dooly's that is.
Musical Interlude:
Hmm hmm hmm, yeah...
Hmm hmm hmm, yeah...
Hmm hmm hmm, yeah...
It is you (oh yeah)
It is you, you (oh yeah)
It is you (oh yeah)
Cause a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah pressure drop a drop on you
I say a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah pressure drop a drop on you
I say when it drops, oh you gonna feel it
Know that you were doing wrong.
Hmm hmm hmm, yeah...
Hmm hmm hmm, yeah...
Hmm hmm hmm, yeah...
I say a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah, pressure drop a drop on you
thanks to the Maytals
Oh right. and then there's the Important concerns.

the Post-post
The story from after a pivotal point always looks different from the story before a pivotal point. And sometimes it's better and sometimes it's worse. Naturally, sometimes it leaves one wondering what the fuck just happened (pardon my Klatchian).
So clearly I have passed a pivotal point. I have just lost the option of being close to a most amazing woman. Or, leastwise as close as I'd like. This is a process that of course is unpleasant, but there's worse to it (which I will tell you about... mmmmmNever, so don't pry).
OMG! how does a person Get Through such a thing?! By remembering that if you really care for someone deeply, it doesn't leave you simply because you're not beside each other. You wouldn't care in the first place, without good reasons - or at least I need good reason to care. The reasons are always there, the feeling remains. I don't think such feelings need to be reciprocated to be valid.
It's odd how with so many things in your head, to the point where you can't even sleep, there's so little on paper. Even electronic paper.

well. As soon as I can find a host that will let me post a picture of more than 150k size, there will be Many Many pictures (pronounced 'pik-toorrz, with a trilled r).
And as for two weeks without a post, well I am assimilating. It IS coming. (check your email though, there should be an Easter-Egg). Look in on Satyr-dae.
