Heh. One of our production servers is down today. This makes for a very entertaining day at the office (like, say, co-workers learning to play the guitar). Off to a very long lunch, since, well, why the hell not? It ought to be back this afternoon. Maybe.

Huh! Neat idea, in kightp's journal, but not one I seem to be able to wrap my mind around. I can't seem to combine 'who I am' with 'things'. But wanted to pass along the idea to all of you anyway. It seems really really neat!

"So, say you were meeting a new person--blind date, new friend, who knows. And you wanted them to have some idea of what kind of person you are, and who you are. But you can't actually tell them in so many words. Instead, you have to give them a box, with a dozen things in it for them to look at/read/listen to/taste/whatever. "What would you put in the box? And a copy of your journal or a link to your LJ would be the same thing as just telling them directly, yourself, so that's not allowed."

See... I really want to try this, and it's frustrating me! Eh, I'll just go for neat things, rather than actually trying to give a sense of myself (and, accidentally, I might even succeed!):

1) a light, silk, jewel-toned, broomstick skirt
2) a soft, velvety shirt of some sort, also jewel-toned.
3) grass, preferably fresh so it smells green and is still soft (maybe some potted grass?)
4) A recording of myself, singing Magic - even if it _is_ my youngest sister who actually first learned it at camp one summer, and then taught it to me.
5) A broad spectrum light bulb (if I could figure out how, I'd put in some sort of automatically-functioning sun-imitating light/heat source).
6) Contact, the movie. I still haven't read the book. This is the first movie I ever owned.
7) Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah, Richard Bach. (note that I don't actually like Amazon much, but it's as good a link as any to give as a description of stuff)
8) One of Zenna Henderson books about The People. Recently introduced to this, but glad I was.
9) Earth Town Square, by Peter Mayer
10) February, Dar Williams
11) When I Was a Boy, Dar Williams

OK, I'm stumped. How does one illustrate playfulness, with a single object?

Well, I got 11... not 12, though.

OK, this entry by shinyblogs keeps giving me giggle-fits. So I'm sharing.


Also, I don't like having a sore throat and developing a cough. I am _so_ medicating when I get home!

I just remembered what my cat did last night, so I share. And then, I try to rest and convince this cold to leave me alone (I always forget how many colds I get in the wintertime. Stupid colds!).
