moon phases

Started this before change to "New Blogger", as backup in case of trouble with digiphoto blog "In a Small Dark Room", or rants & links blog "Hello Cruel World" . Useful - at one stage Dark Room was there, but like the astrophysical Dark Matter, we could't see it ... better now, but kept Just In Case.

There is nothing. There is no God and no universe, there is only empty space, and in it a lost and homeless and wandering and companionless and indestructible Thought. And I am that thought. And God, and the Universe, and Time, and Life, and Death, and Joy and Sorrow and Pain only a grotesque and brutal dream, evolved from the frantic imagination of that same Thought.
Mark Twain (letter to Joseph Twichell after his wife's death)
[me, on a bad day]

We're the Government, and we want to wish you Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year

Had just spent nearly the last of my liquid funds — leaving just enough for the medical bills — to make my dead partner's place and my late parents' flat habitable. The plan is to use money from rent to save up & fix my own house, neglected for years during the medical crises, struggle with inherited debt, and caring for mother in her decline. Suddenly the State govt decided to ask for all the back taxes on my partner's estate — about twice my salary.

First installment due today.
