the 15th. we're now li.com. i'm now the boss. heh. we just spent some time out front putting up the new funky sign. it looks really great from the road. i think it will have people in town talking.
came back in, had email from erin. another one of those no spaces, very little punctuation emails. and in reference to my musings of a couple of days ago she talked about my wrist and all the other stuff that was going through her head and that was cool, 'cause for a bit when reading that, it's like i was with her, which was nice since i was feeling lonely earlier today. it's a little sad to reach the end of an email like that though, 'cause all of a sudden yr alone again. but the music could have something to do with that, i'm listening to the new depeche mode tribute album.
i've also be listening to the new beastie boys album over the last couple of days, i haven't really listened to them since high school, but i borrowed it from sam and it's really pretty good. and also "full isaac" by lotion, which i picked up in a clearance bin for $5, which was very much worth it.
okay, i've got to send out li.com's first batch of billing. woo hoo, fun.
it's 330am, and i'd like to be writing email, but really don't have the energy right now. read erin's email again, and in this very sleepy frame of mind i kinda realized that it's not the silences themselves that i'm slightly uncomfortable with, it's more the sense of duality inherent in those silences. the fact that there's an inside and an outside and that they're very much separate. or the fact that there's two insides that are both separate from the outside, and i'm only really privy to one of them. i think this is why i don't like groups at all. or one reason anyway. there are two many insides.
in this tired frame of mind, it seems that the level of comfort/awkwardness in times of silence is somehow tied to physical distance as well. silence is most awkward at anywhere from a foot to between five and twenty or so feet, depending on the situation. closer or further than that tends to be more comfortable.
i bought a whole bunch of books this past week about alternative construction and building yr own house and such. i really think that if see is going to attract people, it's gotta look cool. we can't clutter the land with a bunch of conventional, pre-fab mobile homes and expect people to see us as a prototype space colony. there's a quote in one of the earthship books that reads "many people in the real world opt to use mobile homes just while they get their lives together. this always turns out to be forever because we all know that no one gets their life together."
i'm worried that if we go to see and buy some used mobile homes with the idea that this is just the way to start things, and we'll build something more innovative when we have the time/money/whatever that we won't ever get there. at the moment i'm leaning towards an earthship inspired straw-bale house. as solar powered as possible. i'll probably end up living in my van. heh.
the more i listen to this lotion album the more i like it. it's just really damn cool. best $5 i've spent in a while.
okay, so i've got the new "then" interface up. it should be working, but if you encounter any problems, it would be nice if you'd let me know. and also, anything else on the site that needs work. i'm feeling completely open to feedback right now.
