incandescensSaturday nights always tend to involve half a dozen different subjects, as I wander round the net while trying to hammer out stuff in another window. Tonight's ranged from the Bleach manga (and lj icons) to Japanese horror.
Reading summaries of Japanese horror movies does nothing to promote good sleep -- or rather, the getting to sleep, perhaps. But it is interesting.
Sidenote; shoes are too damn expensive. Even if the way that the soles of my previous pair have cracked proves that I'm walking properly on them. Botheration.

The Ancients of the World
The salmon lying in the depths of Llyn Llifon
Secretly as a thought in a dark mind,
Is not so old as the owl of Cwm Cowlyd
Who tells her sorrow nightly on the wind.
The ousel singing in the woods of Cilgwri,
Tirelessly as a stream over the mossed stones,
Is not so old as the toad of Cors Fochno
Who feels the cold skin sagging round his bones.
The toad and the ousel and the stag of Rhedynfre,
That has cropped each leaf from the tree of life,
Are not so old as the owl of Cwm Cowlyd,
That the proud eagle would have to wife.

One pair wonder
Date: 2004-03-28 03:10 am (UTC)Anyhow I find a pair that should last a long time, and will work for just about any use I might have need. Wear them to death then get a new pair. Currently I wear steel toecapped Cats.
