a star

Happy birthday to wiccanotwicked! May you have a blessed day, and many, many more!


And a quote for the day:

"Slowly the west reaches for clothes of new colors
which it passes to a row of ancient trees.
You look, and soon these two worlds both leave you,
one part climbs toward heaven, one sinks to earth,...

leaving you (it is impossible to untangle the threads)
your own life, timid and standing high and growing,
so that, sometimes blocked in, sometimes reaching out,
one moment your life is a stone in you, and the next, a star."

from Rainer Maria Rilke, "Sunset" (translated by Robert Bly)

Of course, my ultimate plan was to do the St. Crispin's Day speech in Klingon.

Oh, WOW! Talk about a Klingon text! ("Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'") *head explodes in geekish delight*

That plan got derailed by-- geekily enough-- a roleplaying game wherein I had to devote a lot of time to my character diary!!! ::laughs::

ROFLOL!

Brian happily got me a paperback of _Right Ho, Jeeves_ at Hypericon, though, and now my fanly ambition is to secretly rewrite that Wodehouse/Lovecraft crossover book using Bertie's voice throughout

I am SO there. I will eat that up like candy! You must, you must!
