Happy Day of Atonement?

So, the object animation is almost done, I'm just having trouble exporting it. Quicktime makes the images do this funky dance that's just not there in the iStopmotion file. But, yes, it's about a minute long. And it took me less time to animate than the Balloon Head Massacre! I got to bed around the same time though- 5:30- and then battled with the kittens all morning for silence. They won.

Today I think I need to go for a walk in the woods. Maybe take a nap. I haven't written anything substantial in "The Hierophant" in a long time, so tonight Sarah Diemer and I are going to have at it. I need to get through this semi-block stage, and she needs to finish her draft! The only solution to both those concerns is write, write, write. Really, I think that's the solution to most of life's concerns.

I considered fasting for Yom Kippur, but then I remembered I don't believe in sin. Plus, um, food is really awesome, and makes you feel better when you're delerious from sleep deprivation.

Happy Day of Atonement- I hope you're all enjoying James McAvoy today. Ooh, that's a good idea...

"Dear Rob Brezsny: I am Chandra Gupti, born May 16, 1979 in New Delhi. Right now I am not well settled due to searing problems and swampy hurt. Day by day my position goes down lower and darker, with no lantern or rope ladder. So please tell me how long this foolish suffering period will further corrode my hope. Give me at least a thousand answers that will heal every test and trial as soon as possible. I will lie in bed until you reply. Thank you. - Unraveled Taurus." Dear Unraveled Taurus: I love you with all my heart and soul and mind. I have adored you since the beginning of time and will worship your gorgeous Genius until eternity changes into infinity. Dear All the Other Tauruses in the World: Everything I just told Unraveled Taurus I now say to you as well. (P.S. A divine tinkerer will offer you a lantern and rope ladder within ten days. Hold on.)

So, what if I'm already in a pretty good place?
