quote of the day

Sow a thought, and you reap an act; sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny.

~ Charles Reader

good riddance to 2011

NPR has been asking listeners to describe 2011 in one word. My word would be adversarial. For me, there was too much conflict and opposition in 2011. I felt like I was butting heads with people constantly, in both my work life and my private life. So I would like these to be my personal buzzwords for 2012:

-- balance
-- collaboration
-- compromise
-- cooperation

Peace to all in 2012.

embrace the random xlix

Ana Somnia

A whole world waits for you when you turn out the lights. In our dreams lie childish figures, random shapes, and half-remembered memories. Each one is different yet somehow the same. Ana Somnia is a generative art project that emulates how we dream. Dim your lights to enter Ana's dreamworld.

Surreal animation, streams of unconsciousness, ambient carnival music -- this one has it all. Grab your favorite blanket and a cup of hot cocoa, then enjoy.

a tragicomedy in one act

Bookstore Clerk: Hi, how are you today?
Me: Good, thanks. How are you?
BSC: Another day in paradise. [smiles]
Me: [laughs politely] Yep.
Female Customer: Did you say "in Paris" or "in paradise?"
BSC: In paradise.
FC: Phil Collins has a song called "Another Day in Paradise." Did you know that?
BSC: [slighty taken aback] No, I didn't. I don't really like Phil Collins' music.
FC: It's a good song, very sad.
BSC: [dejected] Now I have to come up with a new phrase.
FC: Oh, I'm sorry.
Me: [laughing] She took away your paradise, man. [exits store]
