𝔚e will live as mice do, scurrying between their engines, living off scraps. Our children will not see the sun, only gears and coal dust.

Having escaped their pages, many wild books roam history now. Venomous plot threads ensnare the unlucky, turn their lives into narratives.

Every once in an aeon, the turtle will turn its head to graze on its back and condemn millions to live within the cave systems of its belly.

“Live by the word, die by the word” - Inscription on the magical criminal court’s gate

Hold onto one of those trees and you may find it inhabited with other pilgrims, living in treehouses constantly buffeted by the abyss’ winds

Ghosts do in fact not pass walls at all, not any that were around when they still lived anyway. A key principle of phantasmarcheology.

room three: living room, most people allowed here↵room five: bedroom, only trusted friends↵room seven: yours alone, reality escape pod

We mastered time travel, mapped the possible routes and found them to correspond to an origami pattern. It seems we live on a paper ship.

The reason you use dead languages for magic is that they don’t move. Spells in living languages spoil within years due to semantic drift.

Your occult symbol: a straight line↵Your task: find syzygies and otherwise bring them about; drive progress↵Your destiny: be born, live, die

@krt@krt.marmaro.de Twice an hour would be really slow for a lively discussion. But i agree, 10 seconds is too often.

@mdom@mdom.github.io needs to move to copenhagen. I lived in Reformert Kirke for few weeks and loved Copenhagen!

The monks only leave the field for one hour each day to follow earthly urges.↵They weave their lives into the Dream and dream of its fabric.

There’s always this quarter that never produces news and that nobody has a memory of. It is as if something other than humans lives there.

That ear splitting wail from a badly set up microphone hooked to a sound system? That is the sound of a life, all lived over a few seconds.

Neighbors
Our neighbors are moving. The ones on the left, that is. They have been our neighbors for fifteen years, and lived here for seventeen, since the community was built. Quiet neighbors, the best kind. Now we roll the dice, and hope for the best, for whoever comes next.

The house on the right has had three owners; we have known them all. The first were the previous owners of our house. They left within two years. The second occupants came, and lasted a little longer. Then emptiness. For a while. The current ones … ⌘ Read more

The Martian
We just came from seeing the movie “ The Martian.” Minus the obvious, very predictable, Hollywood scenes, the movie was quite alright. It made me wish I could live to see the first few missions to the Red Planet. Being the selfless guy that I am, thought, I would be willing to settle if my child gets to see them instead.

While on the topic of movies, and theaters, it is amazing how expensive it is to see a movie these days. For three tickets we paid $36 … ⌘ Read more

Space for the dead
I read an article today on The Guardian, which showed up on the eight page of Hacker’s News. It talks about the lack of space for the dead, in the world of the living.

“Some 55 million people are reckoned to pass away each year (about 0.8% of the planet’s total population – equivalent to 100% of England’s). Yet urban planners and developers focus overwhelmingly on accommodating and making money from the living. Ceme … ⌘ Read more

Autumnal Equinox
Today marks the beginning of one of my two favorite seasons, Autumn—or Fall, as it is commonly called in the United States. Living in Florida makes the season a very, very mild one, with temperatures still quite high (it will be 90°F today), yet it brings the solid certainty that summer is being left behind.

Secrets of living to be 200 years old
This article refers to ageing as not being an inevitable fact of life. It goes to describe the marvellous capabilities that some animals have to live, seemingly, forever. Yet, do we really want to? With all the problems we are having with over population, do we want to pursue the holy grail, and extend life to last hundreds?

We have … ⌘ Read more

Four-way stop
Drivers in Orlando do not seem to know what to do when they reach a four way stop. It really makes me wonder how were they able to obtain a drivers license without that knowledge, as it is part of Drivers Handbook (search for “Stop Signs” on that page), the test, and occasionally encountered while driving.

For the record, and in case you live in Orlando, and do not know what to do on a four-way stop (also known as all-way stop) … ⌘ Read more

The Sands of Time

“It is said that some lives are linked across time connected by an ancient calling that echoes through the ages. Destiny.”

— Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I do not believe on such thing as destiny, but the line above from the movie is certainly touching. The movie itself is quite nice. Last night we watched it for the fourth time. ⌘ Read more

It is all around us
Love. It really is.

“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there — fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.
