My last posting was in July 2010. I think that was around the time I joined facebook. Much has changed in LJ since then. I was shocked by the heavy ads in the front page. But I managed to remember my userid and password! Who are here still, and big hugs! Selene and I spent 10 minutes outside to quietly celebrate the new year - winter solstice. It is so good to have our days grow longer, and for our house, it is good to see the sun arcing higher in the sky to lift out of the treeline and to shine brightly on the power panels. It is also Selene's birthday the 22nd - happy birthday my love!! |

A question: has facebook taken people away from LJ? Or, is the ability to wax on with nicely thought through commentary and the ability to break past the limited two hundred or so character "snippets du jour" of facebook a shining point for LJ? Just wondering. |

Sorry if people got a bolus of spam. Looks like a spammer latched on their crud onto my postings. I am now changing the settings to permit only friends to post. Such is the world nowadays. |

Hello friends whom I've not communited with for many months - Nay, I've not fallen of a cliff, rather, a bit of too much work at the Collective, and a falling inworld has takenmy spare time, hence I write a bit trady in wishing everyone the best these holidays have to offer, whether crhistmas, yule, those odd boxing days or just plain gatherings with friends and family to share oneself with each other.

Just a fave photo from Jez's fab collection of FaerieWorld

OMS (oh my stars) but am I sore this morning from the hours upon hours of dancing to great ground pounding, wing flitting, trance inducing music, having danced with the faeries this past weekend. Perhaps it was the SL faerie dances I've gone to, and, having read about Jez's ( kightp) decision to go to Faerie Worlds that, along with my desire to go, was little push that motivated me to drive for five hours down to Secret House.winery where convocation took place. Cute faeries everywhere, from the wee ones (oh soo cuuute) to the fresh and brash and gothtie urban ones, to the faerie queens, and to the ancient ones. All were radiant, all were beautiful, all were having a wonderful time.I came as a traveling dancing elf which blended quite nicely. We're cousins, so the Fae were nicely accomodating - no terrible pranks. I took few photos since all I had was my cameraphone but Jez and ( saoba) had their serious soulcatchers with them, so we should be in for a good treat as I believe between them they must have taken over 6000 photos.

O.M.G.! It was 100F in Renton, 97F in Redmond. Water, drink much water...

It has been quite warm in these Seattle lands, 84F in Kirkland, and the plants are complaining - I just finish drenching all the potted plants and shrubs for the third day in a row to keep them from withering. On the other hand, the ground rooted plants are doing fine since there is plenty of water below. That does mean the blackberry vines are in takeover mode. Perhaps tonight, since we have decent daylight until almost 10PM, I will go out and thin out the most egregious vines and tangles. It is hotter in Redmond and with a bunch of nearby offices being converted into a lab, the air conditioning is not quite up to snuff, hence quite warm inside; dare I wear my kilt in to work? I think not - too many pranksters are around to flip it up. Tech boys can be quite immature when they see things socially off the mean. I now have two kilts: the Utilikilt in tan and a Freedom Kilt in charcoal. I bought the Freedom Kilt in Victoria and it was custom made, sized for me, so it wears extremely well. Since it is cut in a traditional Scottish kilt style with the flat unpleated apron, I usually wear the modern equivakent of a sporran: an REI waist pack. Kilts are also the best way to travel on airlines for many reasons, notably staying cool in those now too crowded airplanes and it seems to ease my way throuogh the security lines (no they don't have mirrors on the floor). Missing Selene - she's down in San Diego teaching and participating in a workshop. Then she's off to Kripalu for another couple of weeks, thus it's me and the two cats. SL has kept me quite occupied with its bardic circles, amazing dances and aesthetic construction classes. Now this is proving to be a good thing because it makes me write thoughtful prose and deliver it at least once a week. And now I am wending through the time consuming modeling and scripting phase to build an inventory of tools and subassemblies for my creations. This, I hope, will lead to artistic products which people will flock to and buy thus offsetting the cost of living there.

Summer finally arrived in Seattle - well it did about a week ago with temps well above average and rainfall well below - and yet it is nice to have blue skies above and not a knotted mess of grey scudding northward to converge upon an equal mess of grey somewhere over Everett. The plants are not happy about this situation; though they like those photons, they thirst for water, and I haven't been keeping up with their watering as I have been distracted.
