Crocheted Eyeballs--Amaze Your Friends!

I just realised this morning that I moofed up what was supposed to be an image tag as an anchor (link) tag.

Here is what I wanted to post:



AND! And and and!

Note to Self...

The next time I want to use walkyrja's quote:

"Gods are like cockroaches--you see one, there's a hundred more under the fridge!"

I might be better to whip it around Jungian style, as discovered in an icon college roommate camwyn made of our mutual Classics professor:

"Vocatus atque non vocatus, deus aderit."

Strictly translated, it says, "Called or not called, god is present". Karl Jung had it engraved above the door of his home, although he was quoting Erasmus's citation of a Delphic oracle, which amuses me in a European Tour sort of way.

Besides, as everyone knows, Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur^†.

;)

-- Lorrie (next stop: how do I say that in Old Norse?)

^†Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur

"Whatever is said in Latin, sounds profound."--because it's just mean to throw down in a foreign tongue and not translate. Jakob Grimm, Saint Hilda, I am talking to you.

Why the ACLU and EFF Deserve My Money, #245

Hi, did you know that the FBI can randomly mail your system administrators, e-mail host providers, et al a letter, without ever talking to a judge, ordering anything they like?

I repeat: at their sole discretion? None of your dicking about with probable cause, due process, or...anything.

And then forbid you to reveal you've even received such a letter, or anything regarding the incident, to anyone...including your spouse?

Just because they might possibly have a vapor of a suspicion that you might have possibly ever had anything to do with terrorism--and they can dream pretty big?

You didn't?

Guess what. They can. This is old news, and you should know that.

Appalled? If the First Amendment means a good godsdamn to you... you should be.

Do you think it can't happen to you?

Think again.

On my honor, this has never been asked of me.

One may reasonably expect that I would act in my typical fashion were this to occur.

A gift for a gift, but lies for lies.

lorien up now: random acts of cat

My cat got into the closet and walked on the surge suppressor again.

I am on my way home to fix this.
