Daily Bloggery 209-03-09

1. No meet-up with Raine tonight. Issued a Mark 1 Mod B (pun always intended) rain check. No worries.

2. SG Watch: Morning SGL was high (144mg/dl) because I slept in this morning and missed my usual dose time. Getting my dose helped drop it back to normal. This is a common weekend scenario for me.

3. Spent morning licking my brain to get the bad taste of The Watchmen (see previous post) out of my mind and playing WoW between rant-pulses.

4. New Theme for the blog: I'm still looking. I may say "fsck it" and go to a Wordpress theme.

5. Seanan's got some great new lyrics up.

6. FINALLY, O:M is two years old today. In that time the blog's focus has switched a bit from "Here's something I think is cool, and if I think it cool so will you" to "OMG! Rich is using his keyboard and the Internet for therapy." Yes, therapy. It meets my need for self-expression, can be done without a live audience, and it helps keep me functionally sane. It's also the freshest source for State of the Rich ("SotR") statements.

What, pray tell, is "functionally sane?" It's the ability to Get On With Life in spite of the endemic insanity and abject absurdity that passes for "reality" in the early 21st century. I believe that reality is fundamentally consensual, not an absolute immutable "given," the ultimate "variable function" in a mathematical sense. Since reality is different for each person (I'm definitely an Idealist), then coping mechanisms are equally idiosyncratic between individuals. This definitely constitutes a mental "file system consistency check" (fsck) that gives this blog its name.

So, thanks for putting up with my rantings reading O:M!
