Egan Quote of the Day

    'Burn all your symbols!' I shouted. 'Male and female, tribal and global. Give up your Fatherlands and your Earth Mothers - it's Childhood's End! Desecrate your ancestors, screw your cousins - just do what you think is right because it's right.'
    From Mitochondrial Eve

I didn't think to mention it last time but the first section of Diaspora, 'Orphanogenesis', from which I took yesterday's quote, is available at Egan's website.

Couldn't sleep last night, so I did it this morning

    I was almost late for a job interview. Fortunately(?) shortly before I could rush out the door they called to ask a few questions and decided they didn't want me after all. Saved me the trip.

Important News Which You Should Drop Everything To Read

Well my hair and fingernails are getting longer again. Haven't decided if I want to trim my nails or file them this time so I'm doing nothing yet (worst of both worlds). Still have plenty of cheap emerys left over from last time. Definately not cutting my hair until it gets longer, should probably get it trimmed for neatness but last time they cut it too short so I'm a little wary. Right now it's almost long enough to wear in pigtails which I've wanted to do for ages. Prolly won't suit me tho. Maybe when it's longer still.
