LOL, see, this is where religion always gets into trouble, when mysticism impairs clarity...

You all have had some great suggestions about what to do with the photos, and if I had twelve more hours in a day I would totally consider some of them. What I was getting at was more that I want to safely destroy them, for two reasons, one practical and one magical:

1. The reason I'm not keeping them is that I want less clutter in my life, less work and stress for me. Yes, as an artist my first urge is always to create something out of them, but that's not really viable right now, and I want them taking up no space, not differently-shaped space, in my home.

(Regarding this, I have a relatively uncluttered life in the physical sense, but I have been consciously reducing the amount of clutter that crosses my brain every day; I should do a post about this later.)

2. Because these photos do have a story value that's simply not locked in to me, because they have a magic of their own, I don't want to send them off to be bought or messed about with by other people. It's much the same thing, admittedly, as wizards being careful about disposing of fingernail clippings in the Discworld books; despite being useless to me they do hold a connection to me and to the people they are of.

I did find an interesting if seriously dippy article about the magical treatment of photographs, though, so I think I've formulated a plan. But you guys know how much I value your input, and it was my lack of clarity that really caused the cross-communication, so I thank you for it nonetheless :)

LOL EARTHQUAKE.

Apparently this morning there was a 4.3 earthquake 50 miles northeast of Chicago. To put this in perspective -- well, one, I spent my adolescence in California, where a 4.3 might not even make the news. Two, the minimum necessary score for minor structural damage to buildings is 5.0.

Srsly, a 4.3 is like, what happens to my apartment when the train goes past. :D

Today was a terrible day from top to bottom.

One, it didn't snow enough to keep me from work, just enough to make work really annoying to get to.

Two, they were OUT OF SUSHI AT LUNCH. Sushi day is supposed to be the best day! So I had horrible soup instead.

Three, all kinds of political stuff went on that I can't even talk about because none of it's official and I want to keep my job, but you guys, I have never seen an entire department HIDE FROM SOMEONE before.

Three A, I had to work overtime because some asshat scheduled a meeting for 4:30, ran late, and needed me to stay behind to let him in.

I have had much vexation and no sushi. :(

I am off to rectify the latter momentarily.

My day is much better now. Sushi and vicodin, a winning combination!

I mentioned in comments to a recent post that I now wake up to LULZ every morning because my alarm is programmed to play The Happy Dalek TARDIS Song. I am here to share with you the joy of the Happy Dalek TARDIS Song.

In a classic Doctor Who episode, part one of The Chase, the Daleks are in pursuit of the First Doctor and are rolling around, screaming TARDIS TARDIS TARDIS TARDIS cheerfully as they contemplate Ultimate Victory. Only they managed to do it in a kind of chorus, and on-rhythm, so it sounds like they're singing a little song. I have not edited this at all except to loop it; it is quite lolarious just as it is.

For those of you with iPhones or phones that take m4a ringtones, you can download the ringtone here, and give thanks to 51stcenturyfox who ringtone'd it for me:

It is a shining ray of joy in a stormy February world.
