Yeah, but, you know, that applies to any food. Or any drink. Or breathing.

"My brain just gets satisfaction from crafting exquisite, jeweled regrets to sit and admire endlessly! It's a regretsmith. Sweltering in the memory mines, crafting itself miseries, toiling in the furnace of thought, the forge with walls of bone."
Whoa. Some metaphor, eh?

Jan. 15th, 2016 10:59 amSome elven/faery comics I have been reading lately:
Halflight
Nahalenya, or Lenya to her friends, was sent forth from her home years ago to study magic at the University. Finding it too difficult to stand out as much as she did, she found a way to lead a double life. While her time has been rich with learning, she must soon graduate and begin her journey home – something that will take a lot longer than she could ever suspect.
This is only the first story of Halflight, a place where tales like this can be told, long and short, happy and sad, as if around a campfire past the end of the world and outside of time.
Estranged
Edmund Carter is not what he seems. He’s a changeling, a fay child swapped for a human child in infancy. Raised by an unwitting human family, Edmund has guarded the secret of what he is all his life.
The World Below is all the nameless human Childe has ever known. Raised by fay royalty, who dote on him as an exotic pet, the Childe dreams of the human world. When a neighboring kingdom invades his home, the Childe flees with Whick, a golem made of wax and his only companion. Having nowhere else to go, the Childe seeks out the fay who replaced him at birth in the World Above.
Now Edmund and the Childe, along with Whick and their human sister Alexis, must evade the assassins of the usurping Queen, protect their human family, and choose the life they want to lead.
Feral Gentry
Feral Gentry is an occasionally animated new weird comic about modern fairies. The main character Tuomi finds his safe but solitary life suddenly shaken when he meets another of his kind for the first time in years.
Chrysalis - based on Changeling: the Dreaming
It's the year 1969. When the first Man steps on the Moon, Mankind believes again and Arcadia's doors burst open. The sidhe come back to their old lands believing Spring has come back so they can retake their kingdoms, but the commoners think otherwise...
(Unfortunately, per their news post, this comic has ceased in the middle of a story as of last September, or at least is on indefinite hiatus.)
(DW autocompleted my attempt to type the tag "elves" on this post with "eldritch terrors". Whether there is any truth to this is left as an exercise for the reader.)

...haha, yeah. I think we worked it out once that it was a little cheaper to go to the farmer's market instead of buying produce at Whole Foods (meat is something else again - yes, kids, there is more expensive meat than Whole Foods), but really it was almost comparable and the benefit was mainly in knowing we were paying the farmers much more directly and in the locavore factor. Though living where we do, the percentage at Whole Foods, and even standard grocery stores, isn't bad; but it seems the farmer's market is the only place I can get snow peas that aren't imported from Mexico. (At least, I assume they're not.)

May. 7th, 2011 12:37 pmDoes anyone know what the thing to the left of the Magellanic Clouds (approx 1 million light years) in this xkcd comic is supposed to be? ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
enotsola thinks it looks like a cat on a Colecovision.

I was just sort of like, sure sure, this is funny, I guess... until I got to The Little Mermaid (I'm a little younger than that, but Home Alone wasn't a big deal for me). Then I was like, really? And it's true... 1969-1989 is less than 1989-2011.
O.o
It makes those two events seem really close together, and consequently produces a kind of cognitive dissonance effect. "Shouldn't we have progressed further by 1989?" or maybe "Shouldn't we have progressed further since 1989", so they'd seem even closer together?
...
I really don't know what to think, except DAMN YOU XKCD

Apr. 19th, 2011 10:40 amAnd here I thought I was the only person who felt this way about Monopoly. I'm not as sore a loser in general as I was, say, 10 years ago (and actually it's not just being "sore" about being beaten, in any game, but rather fear that my opponent will think less of me for losing or find me laughable; I should have had more skill/been craftier/been smarter/whatever), but still. Even novelty Monopolies, forget it except as a collector's item.
