featherynscale: Schmendrick the magician from The Last Unicorn (Default)
Survived Friday's sick with few lasting ill effects. I left work and went to go take a nap in the parking garage down by City Hall, which helped quite a bit. I think I may have been too hasty in blaming Ruby Tuesday for the sick, though, since when I got home, I discovered that the other folks in the house were also not well. So it's hard to say. Nonetheless, I will not be in a hurry to eat there again. Garcia effect, or something.

Following all that, Gaia ran a class on Sustainable Living, which was full of good information, and which gave me a lot of good ideas. It did sort of peg me out on the sitting-around-meter, though. It suddenly became very important to Go For A Walk With The Dog.

I like this one! Go here and nab five quotations that make up a reasonably meaningful representation of your life/philosophy/etc. (Yes, you could say it better than anyone else, but we're looking for a best approximation here.)

My quotes:
* * * * *
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else. - Umberto Eco (1932 - ), Travels in Hyperreality

If you're going to do something wrong, at least enjoy it. - Leo Rosten (1908 - )

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them. - Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)

The creative person basically has two kinds of jobs: One is the sexy, creative kind. Second is the kind that pays the bills. Sometimes the task in hand covers both bases, but not often. This tense duality will always play center stage. It will never be transcended. - Hugh Macleod, How To Be Creative: 7. Keep your day job., 08-22-04

After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say "I want to see the manager." - William S. Burroughs (1914 - 1997)

Special Bonus Quote: Famous Last Words (because I'm pretty certain these will be my actual last words...

I'm afraid I'm being an awful nuisance. - Edith Sitwell (1887 - 1964), Her last words, as quoted in The Last Years of a Rebel : A Memoir of Edith Sitwell by Elizabeth Salter, 1967
