09:01 First day. Put on your game face. No, not the crazy one, the other one. #

Signal interruption
Snap the power cord back into the junction on the router. One two three lights, the fourth will signal a resumption of the transfer of data, connection through the aether.
The streets of the sunset are clogged with fog, and the low distant rush of the sea claiming the shore. Alone, headlights mark the approach of a slim white Prius, branded with an orange banner evangelizing the arrival of solar plate technology to lonely souls in need of illumination during the witching hour. It disappears into the fog, and we are left alone with the moon overhead, which is coming full right now. We can stare upwards, and though the ubiquitous streetlights consume all stars within their hungry orange wavelength, still the moon watches, unclaimed and holding all its secrets. And as the mist rolls past us, between us, that moon begins to race through the heavens.
Heads tilted back, we can watch in silence, floating along in its dizzying wake, held aloft on vertigo and listening to the music of the world’s turning. We are still learning the world’s boundaries, and how it is that we live here and now, in the manner in which we do. Bereft of the orienting phenomenon of gravity, one would fall and fall forever. Sometimes in a falling universe, all it takes is the correct perspective to help us understand how to fly.

Whew.
Thanks, everyone, for not fucking that election thing up. It’s a really good feeling.
McCain’s concession speech was a lot more even-handed (and even encouraging) than I expected, and props to him for that.
Quick hits from spin city:
*New president that’s not a war profiteer. Woo!
*Have now lived in the bay for something like 8 years. What happened there?
*Got turned down for a writing position at Funcom in Oslo. Easy come, easy go.
*Leaving my current job after about 2.5 years, which is about the usual for me and jobs. Last day’s on Thursday.
*Starting a new Associate Producer gig, for more monies, in the same neighborhood, in a couple of weeks. Ready, steady, go.
*Halloween was a blast, if exhausting. Thanks everyone who made it out there! I don’t think, sadly, that I have any pictures of me or the rest of the vagabonds in costume. Will see if I can remedy that.
*PS3: Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles, Naruto UNS, Mirror’s Edge, holy woot.
*Built a computer. It was hella nice for all of three weeks, then the processor ’sploded. Boo.
*Fell in and out of love again. It was a really sweet, romantic thing — but either it wasn’t quite right, or I’m just not wired to be part of a “couple.” I guess when I meet the girl I want to blow up the world with, I’ll know, right? At least I’ve had my first amicable breakup, now. Growth, learning, self-change, movement, progress. This life thing, it’s all right you know.
*Thinking seriously about going up for a Masters in a couple of years. We’ll see.
*Still writing. No really! And more to come. I’ll share when I’ve got something I’m happy with.
And that’s all the news that’s fit to print. Stay tuned, true believers. A brave new world continues to happen all around us, and I’m not entirely certain the road under my feet when I leave the house tomorrow, will be the same one that was there today. But I want to see where it takes me, more with each passing day.
