I sure wish I could stop writing songs in waltz time.
Be Mine, be mine, and be somebody else’s
I won’t force you into a pair
Be Mine, be mine, and be somebody else’s
You talent’s exceedingly rare
Be Mine, be mine, and be somebody else’s
I tell you for I truly care
Be Mine, be mine, and be somebody else’s
A skillset like yours should be shared
In this life there’s a bias for binary thoughtless
It starts with your left hand and right
Couple Up and De-Couple!
sells novels and newspapers
Tropes that are tragic and trite.
Whatever your naughty bits com-mu-ni-ca-tion
is key to affairs of the heart
so in delineating polyamory
that is the place that I start
Be Mine, be mine, and be somebody else’s
I won’t force you into a pair
Be Mine, be mine, and be somebody else’s
You talent’s exceedingly rare
Be Mine, be mine, and be somebody else’s
I tell you for I truly care
Be Mine, be mine, and be somebody else’s
A skillset like yours should be shared
You don’t make assumptions or fail to do checkins
When you’re angry you use your words
You try not to judge, but when something goes ‘squick’
you are quick to say that’s for the birds
You rarely make promises, but you will keep them
on that your friends may be assured
and you’re made out of action, instead of excuses
a life style choice I much prefer
Snape’s Lament
think of a sad, slow folk tune from the British Isles
It’s an old, old, tale I tell
the love that loves not me
So fair, so fine, with a heart so kind
a beautiful form, a brilliant mind
I can hear the mocking as I walk these halls
with my face so sallow and grim
To save all that’s left of her in this life
I must always be looking at him.
This was one of the songs we sang for the insta-kid-filk on Saturday

I just LOVE the tune of this, and I intend to sing it for my mother some day.
Yes, Lionel, there is an Allegra
One of my lurkers is decrying my radio silence.
Graphene has teh strange! Graphene oxide, even the hell more so!
Every time I think graphene is the strangest thing ever, the boffins at UManchester kick my brain’s ass. http://www.manchester.ac.uk/research/news/display/?id=7895 Anyway, if you are a science fiction writer this new finding should jar loose some awesome ideas.

Katie was here last night
We are going to be talking about accommodations, because her house hunting is not going well.

Not enuff rehearsal!!!
Lyrics Zero G (edited July 2012)
Soup lunch went okay, but the really exciting news was the very tasty guitar stylings Paul threw on top of the new choon.
Zero-G (The Bed)
I’ve invented a bed, though no patent’s been applied for
and it’s the kind of bed (hint hint) … that is to die for
If there’s one thing that I know about our human race
it’s that we’re going to be having lots of sex in outer space
Chorus:
& I’ll love someone, love someone, love someone
who knows what to do in zero G
& I’ll love someone, love someone, love someone
who knows how to handle zero G
(and I know it’s microgravity!)
I believe that the design of my bed will prove out best
And I’m gonna need a quarter mil to put it to the test
and another quarter mil to launch a buddy for the trial
but I think you’ll need a crowbar if you want to lose my smile
Chorus
I’ve designed my bed for two but in a pinch it will hold three
for you never know when someone’s going to think creatively
or be needing to accommodate some polyamory
I can’t predict its uses and that’s half the fun you see
Chorus
So picture (if you will)… a tube of comfy fiber
now I have to bring more detail if I am to describe her
There have to be attachment points …two fore and two aft
I’m hoping you can picture this and I’m not going daft
there are 4 more in the middle to take care of Newton’s laws
for they anchor you and dampen out the bounce on roll and yaw
If you’re entertaining fantasies of being overpowered
You can weigh three hundred pounds and get tossed ’round just like a flower
Spoken: This is an important safety announcement from the Lo-Orbit No-Tell Motel. Despite what you may have heard about Zero G sex, you must still take the mass of every object you move into consideration or injury or death may result. Thank you.
Chorus
There are bungees wrapped around the bed to keep you pressed together
and if you lose traction ankle straps are optional as tethers
If there’s too much bounce and wiggle the bed just self corrects
and it will work for anybody’s preference and sex
Chorus
Apogee Perigee Zero-g to fade
I’ve either had a small stroke or I’m sickening with something
I have really bad vertigo. And I’m committed to take a soup lunch in to church today. Bleaugh!
another week successfully survived
I have a metric crapstack of stuff to do before Conflikt, so I hope I keep my wits about me this weekend.
Weather continues grotesquely cold.
A new poem. It’s been ages since I wrote one.
Tomorrow I go dark
“Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies, etc. block the ability to receive; robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals; censorship blocks transmission.”
— Robert Anton Wilson
Mine eyes have seen the glory of an internet that’s free
… free in Yemen, and Oaxaca, also free to you and me
Not speaking of who pays for it , but of human liberty
The Internet is free!
Lobbyists take sand and pound it
Leave the net the way you found it
We will learn to route around it!
The Internet is free!
You’ve woken up a Golem you will never ever stop
When under-20s get it they will fight you till they drop
What kind of harvest will you get with ignorance the crop?
The Internet is free!
