Riding the Wind

When, west, I climbed Incense Brazier Peak,
I southward saw curtained cataracts
Suspend their stream some three thousand feet
Then roar through dales several miles away;
Sudden as if flying lightning came
But mystic, too, as white rainbows rose:
At first I feared Milky Way had dropped
And sprinkled stars, falling through the clouds!

As I looked up they increased in force.
So mighty was the Creator's work:
An ocean wind blew there without cease,
The river moon gave skies back their light,
The skies in which random torrents rushed;
To left and right the green walls were washed
By flying pearls scattering light mist
And streaming foam boiling round great rocks!

Let me travel to those Glorious Peaks
Where I may feel peace grow in my heart:
I'll have no need more for magic draughts
For I may there wash the dust from my face
And enjoy there lodging that I love,
Ever parted from the world of men!
– Li Bai

Here is another picture I made the other day:

Work lately is a bit annoying, but I think I'm dealing ok. I won't go into it more than that, since it doesn't matter.

Steph and I went to see The Terminal last night. It was a good movie, so I looked up the true story…which turned out to be even more impressive. Stuff like that is mind boggling. How does it happen, eh?

Let's see. Other news….not much. We spent the long weekend in Norwich and had a pretty decent time, really. We played a lot of Gamecube and we got a car. It's a 1995 ash black Ford Mondeo, and it is all right. It moves, and it's nicer than our last car. It should have a decent life, I hope. We're planning on going somewhere this weekend as well…not sure where…to shop for some stuff for Steph. She needs some clothes (since everything she's got now is too big, really) and a purse as well as some other things. Other than that and our better internet connection being installed today, I don't have a lot of news.

Before I go, I'd like to wish a non-crappy day. That will be all.
