At long last, done, I think

( maybe, maybe not, but I'm sick of it )

Time not so much wasted as imploded, or something

I decided that I wanted to use my Harry Smith user picture for a while. Then I was looking at it and wondering if I couldn't get some other picture, more representative of the Harry Smith I knew, by google-imaging (no). But I ended up finding the best webpage in the universe, The Celestial Monochord. Follow the link. Go read about Frank Cloutier and his Cafe Victorian Orchestra and why an ugly little brick building in Minneapolis is important in the history of American music.

This guy, Kurt, who writes the thing? Insane in the good way, and extremely intelligent.

Oh, as to why Harry Smith right now: I'm thinking about Bella and Chain again.

Can you think of a reason for a person's livejournal handle to be Commander Suzdal? This is the story in which Cordwainer Smith presents the argument that transgender is inherently evil. Someone will correct me. All I can say is, I read it when I was eleven, and it seemed to be saying that. Anyway, there's this person, whose handle in cmdrsuzdal, and she's a science fiction person, so she(?!) knows the story, right? I'd love to ask her what she means by it but I can't think of a way to ask that isn't confrontational.
