Reading for pleasure! What a concept. A few thoughts on a couple of books:

Iain M Banks - The Culture )

Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness )
karanguni: (BATMAN is skeptical)
It's a very drab day outside -- it's been a very drab week, in all honesty -- the sky's overcast with cloud and shadow and this wasn't what I signed up for when I came back home to the tropics for the summer. It's July! There's meant to be not a cumulonimbus in sight save for the wafting smog of Indonesia setting itself on fire! WHERE IS THE SUN.

So, instead of baking on a beach or doing something else that might contribute to my early demise via skin cancer I am sitting in the bowels of a shopping centre and discovering the telecommunication marvel that is internet tethering via the iPhone. No one in America knows what this marvel is because AT&T is a company made up of executives who sold their intelligence for greed.

Rambly thoughts on home, or is it my country that I'm talking about; WAIT WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. Warning for my bad map-drawing skills. )

In other news, my hazelnut drink tastes full of delicious. Now to get off the thinky-thoughts horse to go write some corporate Reno and/or a bunch of original things that involve screaming and torture by education.

I am home! Do link me up to important posts if you have any, because right now I am going to go be busily SWAMPED BY WORK AND DESIGN.

But pretty new clotheses!

And vaguely sick ajflksjf. If there is correspondence I need be replying to, I will get to soon! Right now a bit busy burning eggs on my forehead and wondering why all the university emails have to come IN THE WEEK I AM NOT AROUND ajslfkjasklf. \o

So what's been up, guys?

AND PANICKING ABOUT YULETIDE AJLFJLKASFJLKASFjl. Guess which genius left her base fandom text IN ANOTHER COUNTRY? K's intelligence rivals that of small centipedes. \o

Christmas cards should be going out - I'm not sure when the US/UK ones will get there, guys, since I'm sending those by proxy and the proxy people have had some Seriously Bad Luck (TM). If you're in Aussieland or local-wise, you should be getting yours around or just after the Season! ♥

SO HOW IS EVERYONE. You are obliged to fill me back in!

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
