Three disjointed observations
Feb. 12th, 2008 10:42 am1) I'm fiending for butter cookies / tea biscuits. I'm currently eating some that are stamped "Liebniz: butterkeks" and immediately thinking "Lol, horde cookies."
2) Also WoW related: I read on Wikipedia that one of the 8 gates of Seoul, Korea burnt down yesterday, or at least the wooden top part did. I actually hadn't heard about them until hearing about the fire, and they're actually really neat... but something about their architecture continued to nag at me until I realized that the gate into Darnassus from Teldrassil looks almost EXACTLY like them.
yes I know. I am geek, hear me roar.
3) "I was down in the U-bend, thinking about death..." well, u-bend aside, as I am not moaning myrtle... I was actually thinking about it this morning... not my own, mind, just in general... how no matter how much warning you get, how much you prepare, it's always sudden, and always comes as a shock to those who have lost someone. I guess we humans are just not prepared for something so irrevocable, so permanant... One moment a person is here, the next... gone forever. It's crazy. People on the outer perimeters of my circles have lost or are in the process of losing people close to them, and it just made me think about that... how we're never prepared on any level to imagine a total absence of a person until it happens.
still... *lights candles* Thoughts, blessings and prayers. You know who you are.
