Posted to the Camarilla fan club’s Malkavian list:

An 80’s television sitting in the darkness. UHF and VHF dials. Static on the screen. Eshshshshshshsh sound. The staic flows away as scenes from the Transformers movie rise from the television. The scenes are choppy and disembodied, as if thought and movement are difficult. Starscream picks a broken Megatron up and pushes him out of the airlock of AstroTrain.

However, it is not Megatron’s voice that speaks, it is the voice of Ishmael, strained and desperate: “…. I still function ….”

The scenes are swallowed by the static; the TV fades into the darkness.

-From the mind of Ishmael, Voice of the Broken Mirror in Lansing (MI-004)

Stuff

Last night, the /absolute rightness/ feeling went away and has yet to return.

Our logo is schweet as hell.

Off to work (not /real/ work) to plan the MABA thing for tomorrow. Maybe I can get some ideas from the mac techs there about sharing my USB printer to my Windows 98 SE box. Or hooking it up to the Windows box and seeing it from the iMac.

This song fits me today.

Food is almost done.

Cooking for myself again. Yeah, it comes in spurts. Thanks to for urging me back this time. I really dig my stir fry and sticky rice combo. Knockout, beeeotch!

The design for the flyer and the business cards will be worked on right after dinner.

We are going to take this city by storm.

I can’t wait to go to my first appointment for this thing.

Frustrations

Frustrations with my government: here. Warning: Mild adult content.

Frustrations with computers: I can’t get my Mac to see a USB printer shared on Windows 98 SE. I can’t get my Windows box to see the same USB printer shared on Mac OS 10.2.

I finally got the file sharing to work, at least. Yay for local mp3 sharing!

Vagueness

It’s now time to dispel the vagueness and mystery that many of you have seen in my journal posts.

Right around noon today, I became one of three owners of a new business, Geeks Next Door. The web page will soon be here. This is REAL work. Four days of work and the three of us now have a company.

I will be able to quit sales soon after all. I have finally taken initiative.

Plus, the Ingham County seal has a cow on it.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Once the full impact of Einstein’s theory of relativity became clear, an admiring journalist interviewed him about the process by which he’d arrived at the revolutionary breakthrough. “How did you do it?” the journalist asked. “I ignored an axiom,” Einstein replied. Now let’s analyze that statement for your use, Taurus. Einstein didn’t say he’d ignored an opinion or theory, but rather an idea so well-established that it was regarded as self-evident. Furthermore, he didn’t say he rebelled or fought against the axiom: He simply acted as if it weren’t there. I suggest you follow his example exactly in the coming week.

“That’s fucking genius!”

Hey , I need to speak with your boyfriend. Is he awake during the day? Online, perhaps? I’ll let you in on all this vagueness and excitement if you can get me in touch with him quickly! ;)

I had a freak-out with relation to today. Because we’re up-front and honest, we worked through the bump that was primarily caused my my neuroses. Have I said how wonderful she is lately? Because she is.

One month from yesterday.
