Self-indulgence, healthy...

Decided to organize some of the infernal tangle of geeky bits, which had been contained, ass-over-teakettle, in a series of boxes and ice-cream buckets.

Employed some of the empty plastic buckets one gets from items such as dish soap, laundry detergent, and kitty litter, and voila! Now there is a bucket labeled "Absolut Corruption" (holding power cords of varying types, one laptop battery, and one-to-many outlet adapters), another marked "Disco. No Mosh." (mice, one of them covered in rhinestones [our cat shammash is routinely called 'Mash, pronounced "mosh"]), and yet another with the legend "Speak Now or 4eva Hold Yo' Peace" (speakers, phone bits).

As if that weren't enough, most of the writing's in runes.

I plan to make a sub-container of the Absolut Corruption bucket, marked "AC [lightningbolt] DC" for the wall-wart plugs. "Good Ol' Boys" will eventually hold networking assortment. "Action" will probably hold nightlights, funky-colored bulbs, and webcams, unless I think of a cooler name for it.

*groans**flings peanuts*

[azurelunatic]

What is it with peanuts, anyway?

[popefelix.livejournal.com]

It's a Callahanian thing. It comes from the books - when someone made a terrible pun, the folks would grab peanuts from the bowls on the bar and fling them at the offender.

[azurelunatic]

Aha.

I need to re-read.

Isn't there a bit in Genesis about the light separating the day from the night? There are also a number of folk songs about light, but I can't get any recognizable choruses that aren't too obvious. (This little light of mine, don't let the light go out). How about "The baby bat/cried out in fright/'Turn on the dark!/I'm afraid of the light!'"? (Silverstein or Viorst, I think)

Hmm.

I'm actually tempted to use "Break On Through to the Other Side"...

I love those titles! I wish my mind had a function like that - I cannot wordplay even in native, let alone in foreign.

At least I can enjoy the results that others create.

A life without appreciation of wordplay would be a dull one indeed. I'm glad you can enjoy stuff like that...
