Quote of the Day [12.21.08]

I hear the distant thunder-hum, Maryland!
The Old Line bugle, fife, and drum, Maryland!
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb-huzza! She spurns the Northern scum!
She breathes! She burns! She’ll come! She’ll come!
Maryland! My Maryland!

State Anthem of Maryland!!!

Nozomi wishes you a Merry Christmas


Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. She’ll bring you cheer. Or darn, why can’t Santa bring me something like this for Christmas? I guess I have to do these things on my own.

Where’s the elves?

Quote of the Day [12.20.08]

“But somewhere out there, something is watching us. There are alien forces acting in ways we can’t perceive. Are we alone in the universe? Impossible. When you consider the wonders that exist all around us…

[long and rambling]

…voodoo priests of Haiti, the Tibetan numerologists of Appalachia, the unsolved mysteries of ‘Unsolved Mysteries.’ The truth is out there.”

Special Agent Fox Mulder, The Simpsons, “The Springfield Files”

Link of the Day [12.20.08]

I like winter more than I like spring. I love autumn most, but that’s for another post. Check the archives.

When the days get shorter and the nights get longer, it feels natural. The quality of the light also is comforting. When the days get longer and the nights shorter, it is discomforting, and the quality of light is artificial.

From here on out, it will be an unnerving day to day existence until the awesomeness of summer.
