Disconcerting Revelations
Jun. 2nd, 2007 11:30 pmSo there have been a few disconcerting revelations recently.
- Any children I have will not be American citizens unless and until I spend another two years in the US. This is surprisingly sensible - clearly if I continue living outside the US, I'm not really strongly into the American things - but it was not how I assumed things worked. I found it more of a shock than I would have predicted.
- I logged into Pern this morning and discovered that Conn has been de-knotted as a Harper. Again: it's entirely fair. I've not really been playing properly since I started grad school, nigh on three years ago! I guess in much the same way the citizenship thing made me realize that I've come a long way from being just an American, this makes me realize that I've moved on from MUSHing. But it makes me sad, as I had a lot of fun RPing Conn over the years.
And less introspectively:
- There are pots and pans in Boswells that cost over £100 each. Now, I know Le Creuset is meant to be really good, but for that much money I'm rather expecting the pan to stir itself!
- Someone in Oxford is weird and twisted enough to produce a musical version of the Aeneid. And they proudly boast that it features songs from Robbie Williams, Michael Jackson and Abba.
