blue forest dark of memory

Lately I haven't been sleeping well at all. No matter how early I go to bed, I toss and I turn and I have strange dreams. My body is heavy and full of slime.

Yesterday I picked up a new panda, probably the new centrepiece for my collection. Check him out!...

...this is getting out of hand...

My friend is visiting me this morning.

Actually, I have three... Two adults and one loud juvenile. Only one of the adults trusts me enough for hand-feeding

For the longest time, I have wanted an Apple iBook, particularly a G4. I think the sleek, boxy design & beautiful white colour makes it one of the most beautiful laptop computers Apple has ever made.

Now, I've got no idea what to name her. She's massive, and I have a lot of software I already plan on installing her, but the matter of names evades me. If you know me, you know I value every computer personally, and as such... I'm sentimental enough to give them names.

The SSD is a little small but that's the least of my worries.

Did you know that these things come with built-in Apache web servers? I don't plan on keeping her as a server, but it's curious. I never knew this. This is the first Apple computer I've ever owned, actually.

I can't wait to play. It look like Jumbo can't, either...

The area here is nice. With a mobile phone, it's hard to remember that looking out the window is so lovely.

I'm traveling 40 kilometers for this...

Today, finally, I got a tattoo...
It's the oracle bone script character for mouse, or rat. I've had a strong interest in both of these subjects for a very very long time.

Oracle bone script is the writing system modern Chinese (and therefore Japanese) writing was derived from. Questions would be carved onto turtle bones, cast into the fire, and the cracks would be read. A form of divination, hence, "oracle bone" script.

I always thought petroglyphs of all kinds were beautiful.
