  1. Bru Na Boinne

    by , 09-30-2007 at 05:13 PM (Away with the Fairies- The Travel Diary of an Irish WebFairy)
    Today I went to visit what the Irish deem our answer to the Valley of the Kings, Bru Na Boinne.
    Knowth

    There are three major tombs found in Bru Na Boinne, Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth. Unfortunately you cant visit Dowth due to the fact that it is unstable. This instability was caused by the British Israelites, a group of 19th Century Antiquarians, decided to blow a ...

  2. Berserkely, California

    My Dad had a vacation all this week, so yesterday my Dad, Mom, sister and I drove to Berkely, California. We went to a museum first and saw a bundle of art. They had some special Asian art exhibits from Tibet, but the majority of art was by local artists. They had a Pollock, a Cezanne, a Gauguin, and I was elated to recognize a Calder mobile.

    My Mom and I love museums, but my Dad and sister get bored pretty quickly.

    After the museum, we walked around town for a while. ...

  3. How Do You Show

    by , 09-30-2007 at 12:49 PM (Living Breathing Contradiction...)

    ...how do you show,
    your heart to others:
    when no one seems to care?...

    ...how do you show,
    a friend that you want to be more:

    Poetic Origami

    Just one rule that cannot be broken:
    Always fold; you never cut.
    From the single square of paper
    Life forms emerge under skillful fingers.
    Learn the forms to form the basics,
    Bird base, water-bomb, napkin, multiform—
    Everything has a beginning,
    But focus on what the end will bring forth.
    Here is a frog to hop across the table,
    Here a crane to soar the skies—
    With the multiform I can tell a story, ...

  5. Health Update

    by , 09-30-2007 at 10:30 AM (Ramblings from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia)
    Well, I can report partial good news. At least some of the fear that was tearing me apart has subsided, as I now know that I don't have a tumor or anurism causing the problem. My own reseach shows that this could be a side effect of the original illness, Bi Polarism, a manic phase that mimics seizure activity, and that it isn't at all strange to have the EEG lights cause that reaction. There are medicines that can be taken to combat the effects. I just have to wait out the appointment, which hopefully ...
