Still in the party mood

Riddle Sideways: oh! still in party mood
Riddle Sideways: and dress
Eden Haiku: Good morning Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: and firestick
Riddle Sideways: morning is just starting here
Eden Haiku: :)
Riddle Sideways: for the sun at least
Eden Haiku: Minus 20 Celsius here :)
Riddle Sideways: oh dear
Eden Haiku: And no heating in the living room so the Christmas tree won't dry....So I'm dressed in polar wools and shawl :)

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: Loved the party yesterday!
Riddle Sideways: ha
Riddle Sideways: yes, a very fun party
Eden Haiku:And the stone circle was SOOO beautiful
Riddle Sideways: nice music
Riddle Sideways: nice friends
Eden Haiku: Zen's excellent musical choice
Riddle Sideways: nice stones
Eden Haiku: And the snow
Riddle Sideways: and fire
Riddle Sideways: is snow an air or water element?
Riddle Sideways: hi Adams
Riddle Sideways: missed Adams at the party yesterday
Adams Rubble: Hello Riddle, Hello Eden :)
Adams Rubble:awww
Eden Haiku: Hello Adams. Riddle was asking if snow is a water or air element? What do you think?
Eden Haiku: Nice scarf :)
Adams Rubble: it is frozen water hurtling through the air
Riddle Sideways: falling snow might be more air element
Riddle Sideways: so probably both
Adams Rubble: snow is problably more an air element on the California coast :)
Eden Haiku: Frozen water traveling through air :)
Eden Haiku: Yep, a virtual element in California :)
Riddle Sideways: this location got no snow over the weekend, but very cold
Riddle Sideways: parts of california get lot and lots of snow
Eden Haiku: You have an exhibit for the solstice at The Sacred Arts Museum Adams?
Adams Rubble: yes, in the upper galleries
Riddle Sideways: the exhibit is really good
Eden Haiku: Lots of snow in California mountains up north I suppose?
Riddle Sideways: East
Eden Haiku: Thank you for the Landmark Adams. I will pay a visit to the exhibit!
Adams Rubble:Dubrovna will be so glad :)
Riddle Sideways: hard to keep track
Eden Haiku: I never picture California under snow. But it's a big state! I have been only along the coast.
Eden Haiku: Oh, I forgot Dubrovna was the art historian :)
Riddle Sideways: once in summer and maybe once in winter we drive cross state to visit mountains and snow
Eden Haiku: Nice:)
Adams Rubble: nice to be able to pick one's snow instead of the snow picking you :)
Riddle Sideways: live 12miles inland and visit the ocean only when we go to Costco
Eden Haiku: I didn't take my 10,000 steps yet today. I wanted to live in a warm country....
Riddle Sideways: exactly the right order
Eden Haiku: In summer, it’s so easy to go for a walk...
Riddle Sideways: have to be really really dedicated to walk in winter
Eden Haiku: Now I have to bundle up in layers, find the right hat, the right gloves and mittens.
Riddle Sideways: and be careful with the footing
Riddle Sideways: do you pick fashion or function?
Eden Haiku: The right coat: some for different levels of cold, rain, snow, blizzard, ice-rain!!!
Eden Haiku: Put on the right boots with the yak-trak....
Eden Haiku: Mainly function when I walk early in the morning :) Later in the day (usually a shorter walk), then I go more for fashion...
Riddle Sideways: always remembering the Eskimos having the 10,000 words for types of snow

Cabin fever and burning witches

Riddle Sideways: the idea/image of all the various clothing to fit the conditions, occasions, times
Riddle Sideways: sry bell, had speakers off
Eden Haiku: I could learn the Inuit list of names and recite one at each step :)
Riddle Sideways: how many steps are there in the length of house
Eden Haiku: Tried it...Not enough, not enough :)
Riddle Sideways: remembering youth. Dad would walk to kitchen, look at thermometer, walk to living room, tell the number then repeat
Eden Haiku: We had a great party yesterday at the Stones circle Adams :)
Riddle Sideways: tough watching somebody else’s cabin fever
Eden Haiku: A sweet memory of childhood Riddle :)
Eden Haiku: Oh, that was cabin fever, I see :)
Riddle Sideways: the party was fun
Riddle Sideways: Aph was controling us :)
Riddle Sideways: sync the dancing
Adams Rubble: :)
Eden Haiku:Also seeing people I rarely see: Tura, Paradise, Xirana...
Eden Haiku: And the celtic costumes were beautiful!
Eden Haiku: Loved the joke about the virgins who won't burn in the fire! Was it you Riddle?
Riddle Sideways: recognized the same cloak on several people, but it comes in 4 colors so looked different
Eden Haiku: Was it why they were burning witches in the Middle Ages? To prove they weren't virgins anymore?
Riddle Sideways: and Agatha said faux virgins do burn :)
Eden Haiku: Agatha is always so funny :)
Adams Rubble:   burning witches had something to do with wood  
Eden Haiku: LOL
Eden Haiku: Wood and mood :)
Adams Rubble: Medieval science is getting a come back in some circles here
Riddle Sideways: so witches would burn? or not?
Riddle Sideways: but non-witches would burn
Adams Rubble: my memory is hazy on this
Adams Rubble: I am sure it was well thought out reasoining
Eden Haiku: Alchemy you mean? We rarely see "medieval;" and "science" associated....
Riddle Sideways: so, if the people burned up and died then was not a witch
Riddle Sideways: that can't be right
Adams Rubble: It may have been the other way around riddle
Eden Haiku: No, if they burn meant they were witches rather.,
Eden Haiku: Virgins walked away from the fire untouched....
Adams Rubble: whoops sorry, the fire was meanr to purify their soul
Adams Rubble: the pain was penance
Eden Haiku: Oh, makes sense, Not a test then :)
Adams Rubble: see it was well thought out science
Eden Haiku: :)
Riddle Sideways: and have it confused with the reasoning scenes in The Holy Grail
Eden Haiku: Ah!
Eden Haiku: We get our myths mixed up in this Monday morning fogginess
Riddle Sideways: yes

A dream with a twist

Eden Haiku: Had such a dream I thought it was real....
Riddle Sideways: by wednesday or thursday the myths will be in line
Eden Haiku: :)
Riddle Sideways: /listens to dream

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: Too confusing to tell. So ordinary in fact.
Riddle Sideways:because have been having those kind of dreams too, in morning
Eden Haiku: But had the quality of the real stuff you know.
Eden Haiku: Do tell if you can Riddle:)
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways:finally noticing the pattern
Riddle Sideways: Cat, or sounds or call of nature or something awakens before time to get up
Riddle Sideways: lay back
Riddle Sideways: fall lightly asleep
Riddle Sideways: dream very usual life dreams
Riddle Sideways: something of daydreams, but ...
Riddle Sideways: not
Riddle Sideways: but not night-dreams
Riddle Sideways: then they turn bizarre, weird or other
Riddle Sideways: thinking of them as a new category
Eden Haiku: Mmm, interesting. Mine are a bit similar.
Riddle Sideways: they have the normal real acquaintances in there
Riddle Sideways: yet they end out doing
Eden Haiku: I'm with people that are familiar in the dream but when I start waking up I don't know any of them...
Riddle Sideways: uncharacteristic things
Riddle Sideways: maybe different, upon waking (more) can remember more as if it really was just happening
Adams Rubble:These are troubling times reflected in our dreams, I think
Riddle Sideways: is nice that deep dreams are not troubling (yet)
Eden Haiku: It's s a bit like waking up from a parallel life...
Riddle Sideways: well the parallel lifes are very different
Eden Haiku: Yes, Adams troubling times....
Riddle Sideways:   these are more in the twisted catagory  
Eden Haiku: I see, just a bit twisted...

Let’s twist again

Adams Rubble   sings "Let's twist again, like we did a few decades ago, yeh"  
Eden Haiku: Twist again!
Riddle Sideways: thanks, that Chubby Checker song is now stuck
Eden Haiku: With the hula hoop!
Eden Haiku: Excellent hip movement[ to refresh memory: http://youtu.be/eh8eb_ACLl8 ]

Riddle Sideways: excellent back pain
Eden Haiku: Twisting in front of computer. It's warming up!
Adams Rubble sings "Well they've got a new dance and it goes like this (Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op) Yeah the name of the dance is Peppermint Twist (Bop shoo-op, a bop bop shoo-op)"
Riddle Sideways: ah, thank you
Eden Haiku: Twist and shout!
Riddle Sideways: well come on baby, let's do the Twist
Riddle Sideways: Well shake it up Baby, Twist and Shout
Eden Haiku: Shake it up baby/ Twist and shout...

Eden Haiku: Come on come on come baby....
Eden Haiku: Girls shrieking....

Eden Haiku: At last
Riddle Sideways: need your slippers still on
Eden Haiku: At least I have my feet to walk with and my head to look out and my hands to maneuver the firestick :)
Adams Rubble: mesh is so tricky
Riddle Sideways: usually hair goes away when attachments added
Eden Haiku: You look like a celtic alchemist Riddle :)
Riddle Sideways: like RL hair is going away
Riddle Sideways: did not know this Glo-stick changed colors

Eden Haiku: Procrastinating happily having to write to my publisher about the proofs
Eden Haiku: Sorry bell
Riddle Sideways: proofs? we don't need no stinking proofs
Eden Haiku: The eternal confusion between Word and Pages, the softwares. I use Pages, they use Word. Confusion confusion
Eden Haiku: They call the revised manuscript that way :)

--BELL--

Eden Haiku: With the editing out of typos, mistakes and such
Riddle Sideways: in the Post-facts age Proofing is not neccesary
Eden Haiku: Hehe... Read an amazing article about the "smartness" of the new guy.
Eden Haiku: I mean the elected one
Eden Haiku: Very short vocabulary.
Riddle Sideways: really? smartness?
Riddle Sideways: and repeats a lot
Eden Haiku: The contrary, really.
Eden Haiku: Verbal inflations
Riddle Sideways: maybe it will turn to smartness
Eden Haiku: doubts that
Eden Haiku: He should see us :)
Riddle Sideways: lol
Riddle Sideways: well, need to go get out of this chair
