Quintessence of DustQuintessence of Dust - LiveJournal.comWrestling the Angel- July 9, 2007 First: Clearly, I am failing at the WABEEM goal, but I will try to make it a heavy month of posts at least. Of course, it already is if you compare it to the last several months. So yay me.So I've been thinking a lot about Jacob's all-night struggle with the angel (Genesis 32:24-32), and references to it have popped up a lot of late. When I'm in the throes of depression, that's exactly what it feels like. Hegel describes the same thing in these terms: the consciousness...http://willowesque.livejournal.com/312423.html More than meets the eye- July 8, 2007 Egad i never posted a second one yesterday. I'm failing miserably so far at WABEEM. Alas. So, the birthday was good. Went to see Transoformers with D and some pals. Horrible dialogue and script in general, but dude, so worth it. SO WORTH IT. Those frickin' robots in disguise were awesome! Long live Optimus Prime! Also, I've been making progress on learning the guitar. I got some new learning materials for my birthday as well and have been playing with them some. One day I will be...http://willowesque.livejournal.com/312175.html ack!- July 6, 2007 Didn't post yesterday either, but do I get a pass since it was my birthday I'll post twice today. Of course oe of them is this one, so it hardly counts. alas.http://willowesque.livejournal.com/311977.html EEP!- July 4, 2007 I posted pics yesterday and a few comments, and then I forgot to post an actual entry, blowing my WABEEM intentions. But I did post twice the day before, so let's call it even. Please Oh and Happy Fourth!!! I have essentially no plans. privatepraxis and I have toyed with the idea of grilling shrimp and swimming and going to Ditto Landing for the fireworks after Damon gets off work. Other than that, I kinda want to just clean and practice the guitar. My house is in need of some cleaning...http://willowesque.livejournal.com/311564.html WABEEM- July 2, 2007 In the footsteps of my beloved friend angelina41, I shall join in the effort to be more regular with my posting. Thus: Write a Blog Entry Everyday Month (WABEEM). This task will be good for me and get me back in the game. Hopefully. So I did more research last night on Vitamin B12 and found a compendium of scholarly sources arranaged in a sort of annotated bibliography. Now that's my kind of research. Interesting findings and many that conclude that people with unipolar depression,...http://willowesque.livejournal.com/311472.html One more thing- July 2, 2007 If you're interested in the link between B12 and depression, see herehttp://willowesque.livejournal.com/311083.html Anti-hypergraphia- July 2, 2007 Hypergraphia. An interesting concept. Read about it in National Geographic. It intrigues me. Currently I have been ever so not hypergraphic, having withdrawn so from my life outside my home's walls. I'm working on it. And things are getting much better. After blood work my doc said that I was deficient in Vitamin B12, so they gave me a shot and put me on supplements. By the next morning I had energy and an appetite, two things severely lacking in my life of late. I just got back from..http://willowesque.livejournal.com/310915.html |
