Demon's Lament

So

Here he is

All the way up here

looking down

Right where he wanted to be

Then

When he was down there

Down there in the pit

with the other poor devils

They're still down there

many of them

most of them

But he's up here

They're looking up

No doubt

wishing they were up here

Up here

Where they too wanted to be

Where they've never been

Where they'll never be

Up here

Where he is

Little do they know

just as he did then

that up here

Is still in hell

This is so not ok

Two days on the sofa, again. What's up with this? I was sick last week, that's enough, that more than covers my share for this year.

Heading home

450 km on train, 7 insanely intense hours at the university. Another 450 km on train. That makes 900 km in one day.

Yep, so worth it. Will sleep in my own bed tonight. This was so much better than two days there, thought the day has been full and my head feels like things will start falling out of it any moment.

Admits defeat

No matter how I turn I do not seem to be able to fit Pavlov's cat into the paper on didactics. A pity, it would have lifted things to a new level!

Oh well, here it is, at least. Pavlov's cats, even more interesting than the dogs:

An unexpected gift

One of the players gave me a lovely and unexpected gift last night, it made me so happy! Just look at it, aren't they lovely?

These dice I will use as GM, I'm not sure I'll use them as player. I might, but have not decided yet. They feel very Special, you see, but we'll see!

Thank you dear player, you made me very happy! Also, thank's to the photographer!

Neiter dead nor dying

but far from well. Cats seem to think I need constant watching, they are taking turns treating me with constant purring while the other one sits and looks Very Serious and stares at me. It's very nice, actually, though it makes me slightly worried. They are cats. No, they are Cats, thus Know Things.
