Listening to the 2001 music just encourages deep thought, doesn't it?

Like... "hmm... should I put on clothes and go out for a hamburger... or just call for a pizza?"

I don't think that's what Dr. Clarke had in mind.


Well, LibertyCon has come and gone. I sold 5 books all told and gave away about that many to deserving parties. Including Dr. Les Johnson, NASA's solar sail guy. So yes, I have indeed talked to a real rocket scientist. And gave him a copy of CoS because I thought he'd be interested in my story The Shepherds of M15.

I bought a new spiral pendant to replace my old one, since the old one turned green some time ago and the loop on top is wearing away. I'm afraid it will wear through and I'll lose it, so a new one was in order. The new one is silver and of the three-lobed Celtic variety, but it's the closest to the old one I've seen. So. Sometime today or tomorrow I'll go fish out some of the black cording get that done.

"Blue Danube" now playing, so I'm seeing spinning space stations and floating ink pens in my head. And people walking up the walls.

They actually did it on Skylab, too. And filmed it and sent it to Dr. Clarke. Heh. Probably was Pete Conrad's idea. He was a kook, but a fun kook.

Small fur person is being vocal. Who knew a cat could have such an extensive vocabulary?

In other news, I have been reading up again on how to do section breaks and page numbering in Open Office in preparation for the layout phase of Aquaria. Otherwise, I'm intending just to take these two days off and do nothing important except possibly laundry.

Now listening to the music where they go down into the excavation site on the Moon to touch the Monolith.
