    [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
    [20:17] Aphrodite Macbain: hmm. and I never even noticed!
    [20:17] Aphrodite Macbain: Night
