Discussions of the spice of life, spices, and/or life.
Pleasant evening as they played poker (Conversation is so much more interesting)

Spent much of the the day on the little tasks that have to be done to avoid sliding into chaos and disorder; grocery shopping, house cleaning, that kind of stuff. After that spent a few hours on Kant before the party started.
Simon's girlfriend Leigh came. As always, she was a wonderful conversationalist, with lots ...
To Escape the Mania
Written by

Should you need it
In some far off future
Though I cannot imagine why
I will instruct you here
Though I suggest you never try
To drop from joyous mania
Leaping through life
Peace and hope in all you say
Loving each face on the street
Smiling at all you survey
To escape from such ...

They're waiting to pounce on her! (Calls for interviews start minutes after she's on the list...)

Rosey got her first call for an interview all of a couple of minutes after the form that makes her an official employee was entered into the computer. Apparently the French teacher shortage is not exaggerated. Good luck with the interview, Rose!
Some VOIP-ing to round out the day (Which is now way over my scheduled 9hrs)

Snaking,
Vindaloo.
Spent the rest of the evening on the VOIP platform, mostly going through the whole process of registering someone, setting up the hardware, testing that the hardware works, that they can call, that they can get voicemail, and little things like that. It did not go spectacularly well. I think many of the problems were ...
Architect's Geometry
Written by

Rough fingers slide
Across padded silk
Tracing high-order curves
Exciting interest
Denying the alure
Of architect's geometry
Implying there should be
A higher calling
To a lower end
Academia

It is a dry bazaar
Stretching across hard-cracked soil
Each our little stall
Full of dessicated thoughts
Polished as we might
Tattered with the lack of funds
Not fit for the greater market
Hoping to set up the next day
A little closer to the stream
That someone might stop by
But not so close ...

The Blankets
Angry with my nighttime thrashing
Play a cruel prank
Pretending to be you
Calling me to hold them
As I sleep
Pleasant visit and then coffee (With an annoying traffic ridden commute in the middle)
Written by

Out to Mississauga again to visit Shiva and Shademan. Pleasant little brunch and then about 3 hours out walking in the rain. Got a little wet. Wound up leaving far too late and then hitting very heavy traffic. Spent something like 30 minutes in line at the grocery store (more traffic of a sort), then ...
