homicidal lesbian terrorist

i see your women caught behind windows
in their homes, behind rows and rows
of bleached and frightened children.
They speak men's words, not their own
except those languages they've
learned to speak in secret
and in dreams, if they've
not forgotten.

Munny sucks. I hate dealing with it.

My right wrist hurts so I'm mousing with the left, which is fairly silly to watch.

Big O is a fantastic show & only getting better. I miss the mummy-dude, though. I hear he's deceased, found dead in the desert south of Paradigm City.

I've been cleaning the house & my room, the latter less effectively; I have put most of the books in order, catalogued maybe 85% of the collection (301 in the current database) & am preparing to put everything in Library of Congress Call Order.

Speaking of which, I hear the Dewey Decimal Hotel in NYC is being sued by the copyright holders of the Dewey Decimal System for unlicensed use a.k.a. copyright infringement. Turns out libraries PAY these people like $500 a year to use the Dewey Decimal System. Can someone please explain to me why they don't simply use the LOC system instead? It's free & included in modern printings. Also, it isn't stupid, which can't be said for the DDS.

I need to get a library sticky-thing so I can add call numbers to the books... boy, that'd be the day. Of anality.

I think I should lie down, read some more, then sleep. Presumably to dream of crazy things I can't ever remember in the morning. Hence the repetitious Story I tell myself, different each time in some way (either subtle or not). I should call it iDream. I should make a program called iDream wherein you can write the different scenes of your dreams with prompts for assistance: describe what you remember seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling in each scene, with sum-up at top.

Wish I could program; I'd be all over that. Maybe I should keep reading the Husky book...
