Today's quote--"Bureaucracy is a giant mechanism operated by pygmies"--Honore de Balzac
And it's everywhere. Sometimes, going through the right channels is a good thing, it's mind numbing, brain dulling, easy to do...shuffle the papers this way, write the line that way, no thinking needed. It's the going around the red tape that requires ingenuity.

There was a double ring around the moon tonight...I wonder what that portends...if it does anything. I love the moon, it's so beyond words. I wonder why people have long looked to it with such reverence. I understand, I just wonder what the people of the past thought when they looked up at that steadily changing, bright orb. The sun is one thing, it is always there, it is always the same, but the moon, the moon changes. It seems like the Earth's sister, looking down with that face of the 'man in the moon'. No wonder their were so many gods of the moon, it seems to have personality, an essance, a being. The sun I can see as simply a ball of burning gases, though occasionally I feel connected to it. But the moon, the moon is so much closer, in distance, to my heart, to human personality.

Okay, so I'm in a slightly incohearnt mood...don't know quite why. Got my package from Mom, amazing it actually go here in 2 days! Comics, bank stuff, gifts from Pappa from his Alaska trip. Nifty stick pen and an artic fox tail...very soft, fluffy, and pretty. Freaked everyone out, but I like it. Maybe it has something to do with my culture where I was raised. A lot of people around here just don't understand hunting...let alone stuffed trophies or my tail. *sigh* Oh well. Cultural differences just have to stand. So busy today! Just had time to sit down and update everything. Oy. Math was annoying...Psych was good...music was interesting...BVSC was fun. So, there's my day. Now I've gotta take care of homework...hummm, fun. Sorta. Not really. SOOOOoooooooo, yep. Oh yeah. The bureaucracy stuff, that was from work. Yick. Anyway, so, okay, yeah. (I need a better vocabulary for sentence starters) Life is hard. Especially when you're thinking. *shakes head* Okay. Homework. :-) *blink*
