You have to choose your words so carefully...

Tom Waits - [On the Road (Jack Kerouac)]--- Reading more of Night Watch, I've come to a conclusion: I really do esteem more highly the path of complete honesty, in all dealings.

If I want something from you, I'd prefer to be able to ask it, rather than move you to giving it to me.

Morning Links, and ill-remembered dreams.

'The Moon will blush red as it passes through Earth's shadow in a total lunar eclipse on Saturday. From most locations on Earth, at least part of the 6-hour eclipse will be visible if skies are clear.

'The Earth's shadow will completely cover the Moon during the most dramatic phase, which will last a little more than an hour – from 2244 to 2357 GMT.'

Long-Sought Higgs Boson may be and mean a completely different thing than anyone ever thought.

Tom Waits - [In the Colosseum]--- I keep having weird time travel-tinged dreams, because of Night Watch, but this was different. It was more of the Vetenari aspect of the Disc... I don't remember much, except the flashes I get when I close my eyes, and that's kind of disturbing.

{10.18am Something about the deck of a ship which was the foyer/double staircase of a larrge house, which was alos the surface of the ocean. Swimming/walking/running to safety, and completing tasks, as I shifted through all three of these things. I don't remember what I was doing, but there were things like duty, and necessity, and just a hint of honour; enough to know why the job needed to be done, but not enough to make a person an idiot.}

But I need to go eat food, and get dressed. Ta.

A strange decision:

Warren Zevon - [I Was in the House When the House Burned Down]--- I think that, over spring break, I'm going to cultivate a kind of über-productive insomnia.

We'll see how well I can do that, without cigarettes to keep me company. The last time I had this kind of utterly insane sleep pattern it was them and coffee which kept me upright and gave me enough to do when the dimentia and environmental/situational ADD kicked in...

Tori Amos - [Cruel (Live)]--- We'll see.
