NOOER

mars is looking good tonight. can see in right-hand pane of the window, which is suprising given the cloud cover we had when hunter went to look at his moon. ptolemy had troubles with mars' retrogade motion. all the planets have strange motions in the sky... something analogous to the cursive letter "e".

proust is my other companion... i'm about three fifths of the way through the second volume of "Remembrance...".

the word for a planet's apparent luminosity... due to the portion of the lighted surface facing us, which varies over time... is "albumen", the same word for the white part of your fried egg.

albumen.

when i look at mars i think of ray bradbury and all his wonderful stories.

why do i have such trouble with stories? is it impure intent? is it lack of work ethic?

i think it is a little bit of both, but decisions are tough in these matters. you get attached to outcomes, attached to characters.

but these babies were never meant to be nurtured like this. they're not my children. must make decision.
