Goddamnit, I'm going to have bar voice tomorrow, and no one will be around to appreciate it.

Things to be claimed. Ponder this.

In a very satisfying and slightly surprising way, I've had a great weekend. Beyond just 'free from work', things have seemed... lighter, brighter, and larger, like the immediate world around me is a bright room with high ceilings and clear sunlight coming in (lately it's tended to feel like low ceilings, dim electric light and darkness outside, unpleasant shabbiness). Of course, a great deal of this is likely the very excellent people with whom I've been dealing (hint: if you think you might be one of them, you are), but also, and maybe even more importantly, how I've been dealing with them, choosing to deal with them. That's in no way meant to take credit from people for their excellence, but what do you do with that? That, I think, has been the place where I've tended to fall short (I think I'm pretty good at recognizing excellence). I still haven't worked out all the kinks yet, and my syntax and symbology (multiply interpretive) needs to be developed and refined, but I think doing something beats doing nothing.

Music has been more than just songs, too, and consistently. Probably ties in with the theme above, which would make sense. Still, thanks for hanging in with me, Euterpe (and I totally can't resist you and Dissolution at the same time).
