Yesterday i actually edited a photo that wasn't that old. I was taking breaks and hitting my inbox, oldest (from New Years) first.

[livejournal.com profile] pecunium writes of a loss of images with an ache i understand.

Oh fiddlesticks. I forgot to make Christine hot lemonade instead of the fruit tisane with hibiscus flowers. The surgeon has asked that she stop drinking the herbal teas because some ingredients are of concern. It seems hibiscus lowers blood pressure, which seems like a good thing, but we'll stop.

Tonight we're meeting up with a couple we haven't seen for a while for a movie. Rango turned out to be the group's first pick, and i am intrigued by the mixed "fan" reviews. The negatives are "don't take the kids" reactions (omg, _DEATH_ is a continual topic) with a smattering of "boring," while the positives are utter raves. Ebert loves it.

I realize i do have some admiration for the contemporary western genera. Bad Day at Black Rock is a powerful and meaningful movie; Silverado quite entertaining and The Good, the Bad, the Weird even more riotously entertaining. Firefly nailed the frontier element that carries into science fiction.

The abstract for a game theory paper ends with "Thus, paradoxically, the existence of destructive agents acting indiscriminately promotes cooperation." They introduce a "joker" character into games, and i find my mind skipping over to the role of Loki in Norse mythology and my own reflections on how destruction and loss that are indiscriminate (a fire, a flood, a drought) can cause reactions. just thinking out loud. )
