speaking the truth

Another damn day in the jungle. It's hot, but then it's always hot, unless it's cold, but that never happens so I don't know why I bring it up.

There's almost no fruit left on this tree. There's a lot on the one just over there, but there's also a big frellin anaconda in the way who just flat refuses to move and let us at it. Boof is suggesting that we take the band down to the ground to get past it, but I hate hate hate going down to the ground. There aren't enough directions to run, it's _flat_, it's...just not right. Give me a good branch any day.

Fwitt wants to go around. I suppose I could deal with that. There's no shortage of trees, after all. There's also no shortage of anacondas, but there's something to be said for a tree where we don't already know there's one there just waiting to eat us. That said, we're quick, we know to watch out for 'em, and there aren't a lot of animals that can match us in the trees.

Well, we need to eat, and we're not going to get more fruit just swinging from the branches here. Time to decide something, and then do it, and see if it gets us food, or eaten.

Today is LiveJournal Rabbit-Hole Day "Let's have a day where nobody's life makes sense anymore, where any random LJ you click on will bring you some strange new tale. Let's all fall down the Rabbit Hole for 24 hours and see what's there. It will be beautiful." More information

'Cos I'm a loser, that's why.

Only ever written one poem I could stand, or at least only one I remember at this point. Couldn't find the thing, hadn't seen it in years...then I remembered I got ballsy and posted it to rec.arts.poetry long long ago. One quick Google Groups search later (actually about five, as I couldn't remember the damn words I used) and here 'tis...

( Here Rests In Honored Glory An American Soldier Known But To God )
I'm not sure I agree with the thing any more, mind you, but what with one thing and another it seemed sort of aproros anyway...

Okay, so not quite, but Lewis has declared that we're taking the next month mostly off from SCA events and I can't say that I think it's a bad idea.

I'll still be going to Emmaus Fair, as I said I would, and he may be going too, since there might be a Wreath Road Show there. But that's only one day.

The rest of the month...sitting around, or getting house-stuff done, or working on the yard, or just going off driving and maybe hitting a few flea markets...

...sounds like just what we need.

In other news...I've given in, and will be participating in a meme, thanks to ottergrrl, originated by bearsir...

…on the theory that we could all use a hearty dose of positive energy and general warm fuzziness while we wait, none too patiently, for spring and better times; that *no* one I know is getting told often enough what a good job zie's doing just getting through this crazy, lovely world. Take a second, and mention something you like about me (if such a thing exists) in the comments. Then repost this to your own journal, and have some goodness for yourself.

Go on, do it. You deserve it.
