Apophenia

How do you accidentally send out 4000 packages of a deadly virus that can kill millions of people?

So we went and saw Snoqualmie Falls, and mittel noticed the following optical illusion:

Watch the center of the falling water. Your eyes will probably track little bursts of water as they fall, while also taking in the stationary rock beside the fall. Now look to the rocks on the side. The center of your vision distorts, flowing up, and the trees and rocks appear to flow and grow up.

Repeat until sick.

I wanted to hike down and clamber up behind it and build a home, but it was not meant to be this time.

Got my medical records. The first time I took zoloft, the dose that made me happy and even giggly was 100mg.

So why did 100mg and 150mg a couple years later not do much sometimes? I sometimes think my body gets used to anything and adjusts in retaliation, so more more is needed.

Mow does mittel.

Nap did I.

Microsoft email: "Due to amusing attempts at lame reasons, you are now required to pay us money for any new Hotmail accounts that you want to access from your mail client."

gmail wins.

dry, aching eyeballs.

two credit cards paid off. this happens periodically, then i move or rescue people.

did i buy the tens of thousands of wildflower seeds? no. not yet

i ssuccessfuulyy move items around the house, causing things to be different and more messy.

the scanner is now in touch-reach. maybe the images start up again.

really wanted a 3-day weekend friday. suddenly, there was one.

Need to get over cold/flu (can it be flu if you're not queasytum?) so can go to doctor. No sense going to doctor all sick. Can't do anything anything if depressed. Shelves of books of projects: sitting untouched.

Every once in a while i fixate on a person and have fantasies of mutual creative endeavors. This plummets to its death, and i stop. It's easier to try to create things when you think maybe someone cares about the results. It's harder to create things when you think about the greatest works ever created and sense that they're likely sad wee attempts of no real value.

Sometimes i think the way to clean is to put the clutter item into the fireplace.

Mead is sometimes beer and sometimes wine. We are baffled.

How many days till no more shrub? When nobody in the world feels safer then, and the US is still in Iraq, and all the terrorist networks still exist, and the country is more dramatically in debt than any time in history, and foreign creditors shy away, will the end of his 2nd term be celebrated as a great success? Very likely.

My brain is too much of computer. Create story: o no, a flaw. Gandalf could have just rode the eagle and dropped the ring into the volcano, tada, end of story. Guess we can't create Lord of the Rings or the entire Tolkien mega-cult. Giant worms under the sand...right, and friction wouldn't make them entirely immobile. Can't create the Dune mega-cult.

I finally have time and ability to do world travel, and enough credit card airline miles built up for free ticket to Europe, and my desire seems to have wasted away. Why pay to go be lonely somewhere where nobody can understand me and even trying to find something to eat is embarrassing and difficult.

A 30" Apple cinema display might make it all better. Or two or three or 6 in an array.
