Off to the real world and safely returned

[kinzel]

A beautiful day today, all bright blue skies... and slowly increasing wind which meant by the time I was back home to play with the dysfunctional artificial tree in the yard I couldn't properly take all the little parts off and on and etc... so the tree is still 3/4 lit. I am not.

Meanwhile, saw several stores with a few more people in them, but there was no line and no waiting at Home Depot and lots of people wandering but no one in line at the Rite Aid. Strange holiday.

Because I could: a cheesy title...

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: His Exalted Highness Duke Steve the Edible of Frome Valley Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

But, if that's not enough, in reserve I am:

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is: Most Noble and Honourable Steve the Feline of Hardy St Thomas Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

Yesterday Kit and I went ice skating on Chatrez Island in Second Life. Cool. Had a good time, I did.

Also yesterday, we invaded downtown Waterville, with Rolanni checking out the local fab clothing spot to see what the SALE SALE SALE signs were selling, since she had a gig coming up. I took a quieter walk, across the lot and upstairs to the Music Gallery, where I committed music...well, I committed some music and then insidiously showed some to Rolanni who... tapped the counter and added it to our pile.

So, the take:

Speechless -- "The Instrumental Bruce Cockburn" -- Bruce Cockburn

Modern Times -- Bob Dylan

Soapbox Heroes -- enter the haggis

The Road to Escondido -- JJ Cale and Eric Clapton

ummm... yes, I *do* lean toward guitar music sometimes, don't I? Had a wonderful talk with Bruce at the Music Gallery Guy ... about favorite guitar albums.

Here's an article about an oddly compelling musician --with four cuts online as samples. I still hum bits of it and I only heard a friend's copy last August.

You comment on my literary taste as if I like to drink cheap wine, but you partake of the webs high brow content such as, "Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title".

I mock you Sir!

ah... you see, you mistake things again. The melant'i of the situation is not one you fully comprehend, I fear.

My comments re your choice of reading matter were made in person, to yourself, with none within hearing... in an arena where good-natured banter is common. If any were within hearing by accident, they would not have known the topic of conversation.

Your comments here are available to the world; in fact this area is read by dozens -- if not hundreds -- of readers a day. What peace is this?

Additionally, you overlook the conventions at work here. Surely I posted the Aristocratic Titles using my most august and serious face -- or perhaps not.

Many in the community here have been in touch with me since FIDOnet and some before that, to them my choice of posted titles conveys meaning you lack the background for. Some here have read two million words or so my work.

I do not mention your reading choices here; you mock yourself.

Can a situation have a melant'i? I thought only an individual could. But, what do I know!
