Let’s see, a Japanese animated program featuring robots and humans where the lines between the two are blurred, and in the end we must ask ourselves whether it is not we who are the robots? That’s not exactly blazing any new trails here.

Not only was yesterday Mardi Gras; it was astronomical fireworks. There were conjunctions of Neptune and Mercury, Neptune and the moon, and the moon and Mercury (what Dragonlance fans would call the “Great Conjunction”), the moon and the sun, and Jupiter and the moon at Trine.

I was originally going to write seven installments on sin; one for each of the original sins.

In the end, I did exactly none of them. It turns out that I said everything worthwhile I had to say on the subject in the original post.

I got a good natured ribbing from some of you in the comments… nevertheless, I’ll attempt to defend myself as best I can.

Well, firstoff, this usually happens once in February/March, once in March/April, and once in October/November, and that is that I get sick as a dog. I’ve been fortunate this year to have missed out upon the latter two last time around, but I knew I was in trouble the moment I woke up yesterday.

I think I’ve got a bad cold… I’m all congested and have a headache.

Oog.

Brains. BRAINS!!!

Some of you may be aware of the current Detroit debacle. The city’s foundering financially, literally on the brink of bankruptsy in a way that looks bad even from Flint, and in the midst of this, Mayor Kwayme Kilpatric is taking a lot of (well-deserved) flak for covering up a loadedluxurysuv the city bought for his wife.

I didn’t post yesterday, even though over sixty of you came by to say “hi.”

And I haven’t posted much of substance lately, except for the occasional “comments” in the daily post. (I did tell you about a party to happen tonight: it will be sweet.
