[19:20] Calvino Rabeni: Hi Aphro !
[19:20] Calvino Rabeni: Wow, what are we to do with this incessant rain!
[19:20] Aphrodite Macbain: I dont know. It's ridiculous
[19:20] Calvino Rabeni: Make it cease, Aphrodite :)
[19:21] Aphrodite Macbain: I'll have a little conversation with Zeus
[19:21] Aphrodite Macbain: He ignores me for the most part
[19:21] Calvino Rabeni: :(
[19:21] Aphrodite Macbain: I'm his daughter not his mother
[19:22] Aphrodite Macbain: and love isn't taken that seriously
[19:22] Aphrodite Macbain: not up there anyway
[19:22] Calvino Rabeni: Ah .. that gives you a different influence
[19:22] Aphrodite Macbain: Hmmm If only it were strong enough
[19:22] Calvino Rabeni: The possibility to draw a bolt or two, at the least
[19:22] Aphrodite Macbain: grins
[19:23] Calvino Rabeni: This gray veil is overmuch
[19:23] Aphrodite Macbain: nods. What are you doing while it rains?
[19:23] Calvino Rabeni: with its steady, ceaseless patter
[19:23] Aphrodite Macbain: it's soft, and warm but not conducive to walking
[19:24] Aphrodite Macbain: I walked around the sea wall yesterday and got a sun burn.
[19:24] Calvino Rabeni: Flood-causing and filling the hollows
[19:24] Aphrodite Macbain: Hard to believe
[19:24] Aphrodite Macbain: Kids like to jump into those hollows
[19:24] Aphrodite Macbain: making splashes
[19:24] Aphrodite Macbain: and delighting in the sound
[19:25] Aphrodite Macbain: Meanwhile I pound away at the keyboard
[19:25] Aphrodite Macbain: arranging my trip to Venice...:-D
[19:26] Calvino Rabeni: I'd say it has quelled the rambunctiousness of the bird calls, even the robins were making salies and squabbles
[19:26] Calvino Rabeni: today nary a twitter
[19:27] Aphrodite Macbain: nothing worse than rambunctious bird calls
[19:27] Aphrodite Macbain: especially when they are alliterative
[19:27] Calvino Rabeni: I'm partial to those blackwinged birds marked with the red epaulets
[19:28] Aphrodite Macbain: Those blackbirds that call from the marshes?
[19:28] Calvino Rabeni: Indeed the very ones
[19:28] Aphrodite Macbain: Only the males have that red badge of courage
[19:29] Aphrodite Macbain: the poor wee females go about their business taking care of children and food
[19:31] Calvino Rabeni: While the males tesselate the marshes to mark their sonic segments
[19:31] Aphrodite Macbain: they should be recognized by some form of colourful marking.
[19:31] Aphrodite Macbain: tesselate...
[19:32] Calvino Rabeni: bringing order and scale broader than that he reeds and lillies provide
[19:32] Aphrodite Macbain: tease and toss about their sibilant sonorities
[19:32] Calvino Rabeni: and sibling sororities?
[19:33] Aphrodite Macbain: that too
[19:33] Aphrodite Macbain: if they are fortunate to have sibilant siblings in the area
[19:34] Calvino Rabeni: seven swans a swimming
[19:34] Aphrodite Macbain rearranges her vowels on her scrabble board
[19:34] Aphrodite Macbain: We have about 5 couples of swans on lost lagoon
[19:35] Aphrodite Macbain: that are very aggressive
[19:35] Aphrodite Macbain: 2-3 big eggs per nest
[19:35] Calvino Rabeni: How do they aggress?
[19:36] Aphrodite Macbain: They approach you with curved necks, sloping low, and hiss at you very ferociously
[19:36] Aphrodite Macbain: Magnificent.
[19:36] Calvino Rabeni: Like a goose but with considerable heft?
[19:37] Aphrodite Macbain: They bring teror to the likes of small children, raccoons and dogs
[19:37] Aphrodite Macbain: yes, huge with heft
[19:37] Calvino Rabeni: They cannot be relied upon to stay afloat?
[19:37] Aphrodite Macbain: people insist on trying to feed them
[19:38] Aphrodite Macbain: which? the swans or the dogs?
[19:38] Calvino Rabeni: The swans
[19:38] Aphrodite Macbain: They always can be relied upon to float.
[19:38] Aphrodite Macbain: Like sunlight soap
[19:39] Calvino Rabeni: so one may then avoid them by staying clear of the water
[19:39] Aphrodite Macbain: yes. or not trying to approach their nests which are usually on the watr's edge
[19:40] Aphrodite Macbain: Made by both male and female- gathered over time from grasses andf sticks and leaves
[19:40] Aphrodite Macbain: They stay together for life
[19:40] Calvino Rabeni: This lost lagoon - a body of fresh water?
[19:40] Aphrodite Macbain: It is , yes.
[19:40] Aphrodite Macbain: At eh beginning of Stanley Park
[19:41] Calvino Rabeni: I've seen no such creatures hereabouts
[19:41] Aphrodite Macbain: it is fed from the storm watr coming from the road that is filteredby a sort of grassy swamp designed to filter water from the causeway
[19:41] Aphrodite Macbain: very clean.
[19:42] Calvino Rabeni: the causeway, eh?
[19:42] Calvino Rabeni wonders what causes the causeway
[19:42] Aphrodite Macbain: part of the park system so carefully monitired by wardens.
[19:42] Aphrodite Macbain: Lots of coyotes, raccoons, birds (eagles) gueese
[19:42] Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
[19:43] Aphrodite Macbain: a need to go from Vancouver to north Vancover acrross a large body of water
[19:43] Aphrodite Macbain: Lion's Gate bridge is part of it
[19:43] Aphrodite Macbain: You have no swans in Seattle? Not even in the parks?
[19:44] Calvino Rabeni: Fresh water sourced from some mountain meadows?
[19:44] Calvino Rabeni: I think there must be swans at the zoological gardens
[19:45] Aphrodite Macbain: Perhaps. I'm not exactly sure how the lagoon is controlled
[19:45] Aphrodite Macbain: Shall we talk in chat or IM?
[19:46] Calvino Rabeni: but I think the Canada Goose mafia controls the territory and keeps out the swans
[19:46] Aphrodite Macbain: They are pretty mob like aren't they?
[19:46] Aphrodite Macbain: So, tell me,where are u going dancing on Sunday night?
[19:48] Aphrodite Macbain: Where does one go in Seattle to kick up one's heels
[19:49] Aphrodite Macbain: Havn't done that for years
[19:49] Calvino Rabeni: Well, here's one story by a wandering bloggist
[19:49] Calvino Rabeni: http://dancinginthemorphicfield.wordpress.com/
[19:49] Aphrodite Macbain: wandering?
[19:50] Calvino Rabeni: yes, he outlines a dance journey from one coast to another
[19:50] Aphrodite Macbain: :0
[19:50] Calvino Rabeni: with special emphasis on certain hot-spots ... Seattle, Portland, and of course, the inimicable Ashland OR
[19:50] Aphrodite Macbain: I have an image of mr tambourine man
[19:50] Aphrodite Macbain: nods
[19:51] Aphrodite Macbain: I'll save it and read it later. Do you plan to go to one of the places in Seattle he went to?
[19:52] Aphrodite Macbain: Love the concept of a morning wave...
[19:52] Calvino Rabeni: His own event
[19:52] Aphrodite Macbain: How nice that would be!
[19:53] Calvino Rabeni: I do think it is interesting the different patterns and concepts that have emerged
[19:53] Aphrodite Macbain: nods
[19:53] Calvino Rabeni: "Express your 'AWE' thenticity"
[19:53] Aphrodite Macbain: hmm
[19:53] Calvino Rabeni: "Sweat your Prayers"
[19:53] Aphrodite Macbain: hmmm
[19:53] Aphrodite Macbain: I cant do those things on command
[19:53] Calvino Rabeni: Dance it, shake it, sweat it, swirl it, jig it, wig it, quake and twirl it … find yourself and lose yourself simultaneously.
[19:54] Aphrodite Macbain: dancing in the morphic field
[19:54] Calvino Rabeni: You're right, no can do "on command"
[19:54] Aphrodite Macbain: It is amazing what your body will do when you let it
[19:55] Aphrodite Macbain: usually the music does it for me
[19:55] Aphrodite Macbain: and i can dance until I drop
[19:55] Calvino Rabeni: The music, the people, the enclosing spaces
[19:56] Aphrodite Macbain: Wonder what a rave is like
[19:56] Calvino Rabeni thinks - like a rant?
[19:56] Aphrodite Macbain: Dance d till the stars fall down from the rafters, dance, dance, dance till you drop
[19:57] Calvino Rabeni: If it's outdoors, they drop from the sky
[19:58] Aphrodite Macbain: unless it's raining
[19:59] Calvino Rabeni: This one is considered world class
[19:59] Calvino Rabeni: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP_2w...eature=related
[19:59] Aphrodite Macbain: and then they splash down
[20:00] Aphrodite Macbain: :-D
[20:01] Calvino Rabeni: I object though, to this kind of thing -
[20:01] Calvino Rabeni: http://matadornetwork.com/nights/full-moon-raves/
[20:01] Calvino Rabeni: Instruction manual - world class full moon rave for dummies, if you will
[20:01] Aphrodite Macbain: lol
[20:01] Calvino Rabeni: takes out the adventure / mystery
[20:01] Aphrodite Macbain: feels like the 70s
[20:01] Aphrodite Macbain: makes me sad
[20:02] Calvino Rabeni: oh in what way?
[20:02] Aphrodite Macbain: cant they come up with something authentic?
[20:02] Aphrodite Macbain: I guess it's all about NOT feeling rather than feeling
[20:02] Calvino Rabeni: Well that's a philosophical question I suppose
[20:02] Aphrodite Macbain: escaping
[20:03] Aphrodite Macbain: what'as the question?
[20:03] Calvino Rabeni: what does it need to have or be, to be considered authentic
[20:03] Aphrodite Macbain: It is a way of exploring what the mind can do
[20:04] Aphrodite Macbain: I suppose
[20:04] Calvino Rabeni: yes
[20:04] Aphrodite Macbain: I guess what bothers me as this has already been done- and dusted
[20:04] Aphrodite Macbain: and now they are just doing it again
[20:04] Calvino Rabeni: to do the exploration one would be advised not to first read the instruction manual and safety tips
[20:05] Aphrodite Macbain: yes, to be guided is to in some way be manipulated
[20:05] Aphrodite Macbain: I sound like a right wing moralist
[20:05] Aphrodite Macbain: but I'm not
[20:05] Calvino Rabeni: the "has already been done" idea ... that doesn't sound right wing
[20:06] Aphrodite Macbain: good :-)
[20:06] Aphrodite Macbain: I feel that right now the world is in repeat mode. Like summer tv shows
[20:06] Calvino Rabeni: Yes, like summer
[20:06] Calvino Rabeni: didn't we have that last year?
[20:07] Aphrodite Macbain: nods
[20:07] Aphrodite Macbain: Were you a hippy?
[20:07] Calvino Rabeni: it's not original .. every year the same old seasons :)
[20:07] Aphrodite Macbain: lol
[20:07] Aphrodite Macbain: no, each season is different- especially this one
[20:08] Calvino Rabeni: Little children ... carrying around their dolls by the lake
[20:08] Calvino Rabeni: carried by their parents
[20:08] Aphrodite Macbain: The weather just exists
[20:08] Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
[20:08] Aphrodite Macbain: nice
[20:08] Calvino Rabeni: and I expected the dolls to have dolls too
[20:09] Aphrodite Macbain: children are always new and fresh each time
[20:09] Calvino Rabeni: but didn't want it to be dolls "all the way down"
[20:09] Calvino Rabeni: yes
[20:09] Aphrodite Macbain: like a russian doll?
[20:09] Calvino Rabeni: a fractal ... nature is sparing with them
[20:10] Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
[20:10] Aphrodite Macbain: (((cal)))
[20:10] Aphrodite Macbain: got to go and eat dinner. Stir fry
[20:10] Aphrodite Macbain: want some?
[20:10] Aphrodite Macbain: shrimp
[20:10] Calvino Rabeni: fish or fowl?
[20:10] Calvino Rabeni: oh
[20:10] Calvino Rabeni: yes
[20:11] Aphrodite Macbain: veggies, black rice
[20:11] Aphrodite Macbain: white wine
[20:11] Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
[20:11] Calvino Rabeni: dinner in black and white
[20:11] Aphrodite Macbain: nods except for the veggies
[20:11] Calvino Rabeni: I'll try a mix of black and white rice
[20:11] Calvino Rabeni: integration :)
[20:12] Aphrodite Macbain: nice. Have you had beans and rice?
[20:12] Aphrodite Macbain: lol
[20:12] Aphrodite Macbain: all happy jumbled together like a rave
[20:12] Calvino Rabeni: Yes, that's the recipe for cheap fare
[20:12] Aphrodite Macbain: nods. I ate it every night in Nicaragua
[20:12] Aphrodite Macbain: gallo pinto
[20:12] Calvino Rabeni: I recently acquired a huge restaurant pot
[20:13] Aphrodite Macbain: and now you are stew master?
[20:13] Calvino Rabeni: and threw a bag of dried beans in to soak, ended up with a large quantity
[20:13] Aphrodite Macbain: :-)
[20:13] Aphrodite Macbain: now what?
[20:14] Calvino Rabeni: I'm thinking, thai style omelette
[20:14] Aphrodite Macbain: ??!!
[20:14] Aphrodite Macbain: with the beans?
[20:14] Calvino Rabeni: I'll get started on the rice
[20:15] Aphrodite Macbain: how do you make a tso?
[20:16] Calvino Rabeni: Simple, I think, beat the eggs, throw in some mince, scallions, a little fishy sauce, serve over rice
[20:16] Aphrodite Macbain: yum . no beans at all
[20:16] Calvino Rabeni: beans were so last week
[20:16] Aphrodite Macbain: Buono appetito my friend
[20:16] Calvino Rabeni: they were authentic then ... now rice is in
[20:16] Calvino Rabeni: Yes :) bon appetit
[20:16] Aphrodite Macbain: good toknow. was it ever out?
[20:17] Calvino Rabeni: Yes, when the pasta was in, rice took a holiday
