tamaranthHaving skipped the First Thursday meet in favour of an industrious, but unrushed, day, I find myself in a strangely restless (and unindustrious) mood. Am fixing this with a glass of pink drink and an LJ post of five things that are on my mind.
1. New Orleans. I visited the city back in '91 and loved it: am sad that so much of it has been destroyed, with such terrible casualty figures. Horrified, though not really surprised, that 'anarchy' (BBC sez) has broken out. I grew up in an area that'd been underwater in living memory (1953 floods) and was pretty much at sea level. That doesn't really have much to do with anything: fields awash with salt water are a far cry from streets become rivers.
2. Time's rushing on. Can it be a month since I was preparing to go to Worldcon? What have I done since I came back? What have I done? (I must stop spending money, too. But have splendid new toy: battery-powered 512M MP3 player that's basically a USB pen-drive with firmware. Necklace-style. Must stop spending money until there is Income.)
3. People who call the BSFA web site 'rubbish and outdated' will not automatically attract my goodwill.
4. Is it energy or optimism that I need? Or is it enough to wait for the universe to provide, and just to remain open to opportunity?
5. There is not enough music in my life at the moment. ... Now that I can fix.
