Repose

I perform tonight at Carfax Abbey?! Not the stripper section! In the lounge section. I will be singing. I am very excited.

[Added later!]

[Shiloh.]
I need your help.

Around 7PM, townsfolk passing by I Sceam will hear music filtering down from an open window from one of the apartments above the store. It's the Bach Cello Suite No. 1 in G major. All in all, the entire suite lasts roughly twenty minutes from start to finish.

This is the forest primeval; but where are the hearts that beneath it
Leaped like the roe, when he hears in the woodland the voice of the huntsman
Where is the thatch-roofed village, the home of Acadian farmers,
Men whose lives glided on like rivers that water the woodlands,
Darkened by shadows of earth, but reflecting an image of heaven?
Waste are those pleasant farms, and the farmers forever departed!
Scattered like dust and leaves, when the mighty blasts of October
Seize them, and whirl them aloft, and sprinkle them far o'er the ocean
Naught but tradition remains of the beautiful village of Grand-Pré.

~Wadsworth - Part of the Prelude of Evangeline.

Has anyone been able to find a pearl? I've done all this diving and the only pearl I got was from the otter. So I have all these mermaid DIYs, but no pearls. They should program a pearl a day it's not that hard.

Is the weather always like this here?

[Dinah N]
I think I've changed my mind

[Mari L]
Hi. [...] Are you the lady who owns the antiques store?

[There's lots of reasons Daniel shouldn't be able to figure out the forums right now, but we're handwaving most of it. Grandpa got tech support, or something.]

[Public]
There seems to be a great deal of noise and firearms even after the holiday is through. One can barely think.

[Holly]
Dear Holly, I would prefer to avoid troubling you, but I have a number of favors to ask of you.

[Dietre]
And how is the composing, maestro?

[Damian]
[Time fuzz. But we will say, sometime vaguely after this.]
Damian, do you wish to speak to me? I do not have a purpose, other than to ask you how you do.

If anyone is interested in auditioning for a Friday gig at Carfax Abbey, submit your tape to P.O Box 1031 at the main street location.

No CD's.

How against parties is this town?

Asking for a friend.

Summer-Haiku from "The Spice-Box of Earth" by Leonard Cohen


Silence


and a deeper silence


when the crickets


hesitate

If only the beauty of spring would continue on through summer minus the miserable heat. I am not looking forward to it. Aside from that, well… I won’t jinx myself by saying anything more than life is relatively decent.

I have not posted anything in a while, so I thought I’d share something a little different than my usual.

Out of the mid-wood's twilight
Into the meadow's dawn,
Ivory limbed and brown-eyed,
Flashes my Faun!

He skips through the copses singing,
And his shadow dances along,
And I know not which I should follow,
Shadow or song!

O Hunter, snare me his shadow!
O Nightingale, catch me his strain!
Else moonstruck with music and madness
I track him in vain!

- Oscar Wilde

Is there a reason it's known as the 'bad side' of town?

My swordsmanship dulls. Is there place to test

Swordsmanship, does anyone practice?

Today's card is a doozy. Say hello to The Devil, Reposians.

There is no finessing card #15, The Devil. It is not a good thing to get this card in your reading, with the exception that it may be the confirmation you need to end a dysfunctional relationship. The core of this card is a negative relationship that you have with someone or something. Getting the devil card in your reading shows that you have feelings of entrapment, emptiness and lack of fulfillment in your life. It might also mean that you are a slave to materialism and opulence and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to shake off the feeling of wanting to indulge in luxurious living.

You might be aware that this kind of lifestyle is leading you down the rabbit hole, but you have that feeling of not having any form of control over your actions or urges.

Addiction to substances or material pleasures can also be the reason for your feelings of powerlessness and entrapment. In situations such as these, you may feel as though you are a slave, unable to control your impulses or willpower to direct yourself towards something other than the satisfaction of these desires.

Lust and temptation are symbolized by the Devil in a love tarot reading. There can be a sense of hedonism, and a selfish desire for gratification with this card. In less serious circumstances, it can also just simply mean a pursuit for all of life’s earthly pleasures. There is nothing wrong in having a bit of fun, but make sure that you are not hurting others or giving them wrong impressions when you do. If you’re only looking for hook-ups, it is up to you to communicate that with your dates. Make sure you avoid pressuring others if they decide your lifestyle isn’t something that suits them. Communication will be more important than ever now.
