desperanceM'wife is being a technomage tonight, speaking to Japan through the medium of her computer screen. She's putting on earrings and everything. I hope she remembers the protocols of bowing. (Hunh: I wonder if anyone ever deliberately put on long dangly earrings, so that the pendulum action would emphasis the depth of their bow? These are the sorts of things we are obliged to wonder, y'know. For fictive purposes. But would that work, I wonder...?)
Me, I am checking proofs on my own screen and drinking New World wine, neither of which is particularly old-school; I am a bridge, between the future and the past. Barry, meanwhile, is the other thing. He is curled on my clean laundry and snoring softly, as cats have snored on laundry since time immemorial. I bet Ancient Egyptian cats snored on the Pharaoh's clean loincloths. (Kari, would you like to ask Horus to confirm?)
*It has been too long since I last saw The Slipper and the Rose. That may have been the first movie I ever took a girl to**.
**She was my kid sister, and it was her birthday. And I think I liked the movie more than she did.
