Snow and things

[reldnahkram]

There's something...right...about walking in snow. It's a wonderful feeling - the slight compression under the feet, the absolute silence. It's peaceful, purifying. I also have listened to softish acousticy/countryish music walking back to ML from campus both nights - Mark Knopfler's Ragpicker's Dream on Thursday and Lucinda Williams's Essence tonight. Very peaceful and relaxing. Have I mentioned I really like snow?

Afterlife was very good in a very different way. Very slice of lifeish, showing these people and their memories. Not the sort of afterlife I'd want - I don't remember that way. I remember things in bits and pieces, not in whole scenes. During the movie I tried thinking back as far as I could. I remember my kindergarden teacher calling rubber bands "elastics" and telling us we couldn't call them that, but she could because she was from Rhode Island. And I remember scooters in preschool with Christian (I think his name was) and the grid of the tiles on the floor being the center city street grid. I have a few other memories of preschool - the room with the children books, and (I think) walking down to the bathroom everyday to drain the "juice" out of the yogurt that was part of my lunch.

When were you going to sleep?

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Nowish. If there's something you want, come down now or forever hold your peace, or something like that.

[crystalpyramid]

No, I was going to sleep. But then somebody IM'd me, and Blake stalked the SMOS, and then somebody else IM'd me, and so on and so forth.

Huh?

[crystalpyramid]

ccommack on sccs, ip tricks in linux, sildra and arctangent and meanfreepath, and at some point eclectic_boy got home from California.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Ok. Anything conclusive?

[crystalpyramid]

This is the wrong forum for that information.
Short answer: no. Well, except things that aren't technically the smoswil.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

And again I say huh?

[crystalpyramid]

Check their friendslists.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

Other than the appearance of something, well, awful, the existance of which deathbysnusnu pointed out to me, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

[crystalpyramid]

Well, that's all I'm talking about.

The ip tricks proved useless on smoswil, however. I suppose the female sex is weaker.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

I suppose we'll talk some other time about this. Bed now.

[crystalpyramid]

And isn't the awful something cute, in its disturbing way?

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

I unfortunately must say yes.

[crystalpyramid]

It just occurred to me - should I be weirded out and wonder why I friended something with "weirdos who stalk jillian" in their interests?

[crystalpyramid]

Or, for that matter, my LJ. But you may already know what I'm talking about.

If Mark Knopfler is who I think he is, most of my friends here are a bit obsessed with him.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

British singer-songwriter. Leader of Dire Straits. Wrote the theme song to Princess Bride.

[sildra.livejournal.com]

Yes. They're huge fans of Dire Straits, and especially him.

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

I like his solo stuff more than Dire Straits, but I like both a lot.

[sildra.livejournal.com]

Well, both his solo stuff and Dire Straits are constantly playing in the office next door, and others of my friends play his CDs as background music in the car or when they have guests over. On a loop. Not that I mind, because I kind of like it, and I'm not that familiar so I don't notice the repetitiveness so much...

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

I don't really like the constant loop thing. I go for variety. I come back to what I like, but there's enough of that such that I go through a number of different things along the way.

[sildra.livejournal.com]

Well, it isn't really me doing it.

Sometimes I'll really want to listen to the same song, or the same few songs, over and over and over for an evening or a week or something, and then I'll do a constant loop.

I suspect my music collection is orders of magnitude smaller than yours anyway (the number of orders of magnitude is partly due to laziness on my part).

[reldnahkram.livejournal.com]

I suspect a single order of magnitude will cover the difference.

[sildra.livejournal.com]

I'm around 650 songs. Which is more than I thought I had (I think I forgot about a lot of it).

Wow; knew the first two, didn't know the last one.
