Shout outs, utopia, and something about pizza.. plus a permissive circumstance.
The response to the permissive circumstances is fantastic! We might need to have a tally board just so everyone else can see how many are playing (and winning?).
Today’s Eunoia is about creating. I have very creative folks in my happy harem.
Today’s Eunoia includes shout outs, utopia musings, gratitude, homework, and a permissive circumstance.
It is late because switching over to a different pc is a major pain in the ass. Although I hear some people enjoy it? It does take all types to keep the world going.
Confidence is considered a “soft skill”. It is one you can learn and practice. But can you do it while undermining yourself?
So while I love the idea of the Long Way To Go that my dear follower mentions, it should undermine his confidence. It should thrill him. It thrills me.
Remember what I said? It’s a skill. How confident you are varies depending on if you’re in the board room, the bedroom, or on another endless Zoom call. It varies and, often, you’re the one that controls your (everyday life) situation.
Ack. The delay for today’s Eunoia rests on the shoulders of HP. Actually, I s’pose that isn’t fair. It’s mostly on my shoulders for being in denial about my laptop. My laptop that has crossed the ocean a few times, enjoyed loads of video chats, and endless hours as part of the freelance crowd in the cafe — is dying. Maybe it’s pining for the days of backpack life and indie coffee shop music? (I now have a Monty Python sketch in my head – my fav one too!)
It appears the bitcoin, etc, miners have made it ridiculously awkward to shop for a PC. While I am sure I’ll have more coffeeshop days, the reality of Covid has meant over a year of WFH and setting up my environment for it. If you told 2019 me that I would be choosing home office life over my local cafe I would have said “no way”. I also would have scoffed at the idea of wanting a decent graphics card, monitor (I had zero idea they had various mhz), etc.
The new PC should arrive around the end of the month. Meanwhile, my laptop limps on.
It also fits in with today’s Eunoia theme regarding rekindling relationships. I had a moment.. or two.. of being swept up by the Mac love affair before remembering WHY I broke it off after our three-year fling. You see, it decided to be a butt about battery swelling and keys popping off. For a diva that expensive, I needed more from the relationship.
And what happened to knights when the rules weren’t followed? According to the code, comeuppance ranged from corporal punishment to losing one’s habit (knight’s robes) to banishment from the brotherhood. Lesser infractions sometimes required the sinner to eat his meals on the floor.
It mostly caught my attention due to the “no pointy shoes” bit. I wonder how many men decided THAT was the final straw and didn’t join up? Chastity? Sure. No napkin? Whatever. Decrease meat? Okay.. but give up my prized pointy shoes?!? Never!
Today’s Eunoia has another chance at the permissive circumstance. It also talks a lot about ravishing.. ravished.. and sex dolls.
If you’d like to mess with your fellow Happy Harem, send me your ideas for permissive circumstances to weave into Eunoia. I won’t tell you what DAY I plan to use it, but at least you’ll be able to anticipate a few.. right?
We have a few quirky predator and prey pairs. A new nickname has been introduced. Plus, homework.
This article snippet has nothing to do with erotic hypnosis, but it does offer an interesting insight into snake charming.
Krause says that although animals seem to respond to what we call music, how can we know what they think? “Birds bob their heads to beats, bonobos played keyboard with Peter Gabriel,” he says, “but we’re ascribing our attributes to animals. Show me animals appearing to enjoy music that aren’t captive, that aren’t looking for something to alleviate the boredom.” Krause says that we learned our music from the natural world, and in a few small pockets of the globe, groups of humans still sing with nature rather than to it. The Kaluli in Papua New Guinea, he says, “mix their voices in with the sounds of the forest, which is how we first learned polyphony”—singing with more than one voice. Snake charming also may have begun this way, singing and dancing with the snake. But that was thousands of years ago, before we knew snakes couldn’t even hear that toodley thing.
It’s halfway through March and I’m enjoying our words. Much like the personalised hypnosis sleep sessions, I love the peek into your mind. The reasons behind the word choices have as much variety as the words themselves…
But restraint is a POPULAR choice. It came up more than once.
The predator and prey combos are fantastic and I’ll be sharing a few of them in tomorrow’s Eunoia.
For today, I’ll be returning to my hunt for a new monitor and delving into maid training.
