In which I take the local train of thought and have many stops

Well, unfortunately most of what I'd want to say here, I probably can't. So here's something interesting: went to look up my other name. Calli stands for Calliope, which is "beautiful voice", but she's switched with Justin, as it's Justin with the beautiful voice. The other name I was looking to match (meaning-wise) to another character is Persephone, Demeter's daughter. Apparently it means "Destroyer" And Kali is the goddess of the destruction-rebirth.... So maybe this is a sign that Calli should serve for both characters. Which, when I think about it, makes a lot of sense.... Hmmm....

It's one of those things where it's hard not to think it's some sort of sign. So I'll take the sign and follow it and see where it leads me.

Saw the Veep debate. Not sure who I think won. Know who I wanted to win, though... Anyway, we'll see what comes of it.

Let's see, what else can I talk about? I am still wiped out from too much to do and too little time to do it. Did I mention the earache? Yes, I thought I had. Did I mention the sore throat? Went around without a jacket again, but I did have a scarf. Helped with the sore throat and the earache.

I've been whining a lot lately, haven't I. I should try to kick myself out of that mode. Doesn't really help anything, even though I feel better for it in the end.

I just want to say that when the wind blows from the west, I know a hawk from a handsaw. Or whatever the quote is. Hamlet. Not sure I know a hawk from a handsaw, but I am watching the direction the wind comes from very carefully. I'd elaborate, but I'd probably get in trouble for it, so I'll leave it there.

Short paragraphs have no reason...

Yeah, well, been hearing too many 70s songs. What can I say?

Someone once wondered what it would be like to have my mind. I don't really think anyone would want it. Same person wondered what it would be like inside my mind... I was thinking about answering that. One of the biggest things in my mind is the apparently permanent fog. Another of the things in my mind is the little man behind the curtain pulling all the levers, who never seems to sleep or have a kind word for anyone. Who can't really see through the fog, which I guess is a defense against him, or something. But the cocoon/fog thing has been stronger than usual lately. I've heard people talk about cobwebs in the mind, and I guess that's what that's like. It muffles stuff and makes it hard to pay attention to anything. Rather like those one directional force fields... Stuff gets in, but can't get out again. Or is it stuff gets out, but can't get in again? I dunno. Anyway, you really don't want to be in my mind. I'm not even sure I do.

I've lost track of the time again, but I think I've got another three minutes if my clock agrees with the blog clock (give or take they're on pacific time and I'm not). After I log off here, I'm gonna do a quick scan of the NaNo boards and see if any of them interest me more than they did yesterday. And then it's off to Fourecks and bed. And yes, this paragarph has taken me at least three minutes to type, if I include this sentence, so I'm off. Hopefully I'll be more coherent tomorrow, but right now I feel like a bear with very little brain... But I am excited about the Calli/Kali thing.
