June: So, this entry marks the first of my new livejournal. I decided to trash the last because, let's face it, in modern Hebrew, Seraph Kesef means the Angel of Money.

July: This is the Best Song Ever. It's by a guy named Dan Bern, and it's called Jerusalem. Here are the lyrics:

August: "Mark, I don't understand why you do these things."

September: My curry became a too-sweet goo-like mess. I suck.

October: It's been a while since a proper entry, and I haven't really got the energy to give you one right now. Here, then, is the quick, impressionist version of the past few weeks:

November: I am starting a friends filter for people who want to help me plan my solo games. If you want to be on this filter, comment 'aye.' If you don't, comment 'naye.'

December: Meme

And brief update

My hands hurt because of my new bicycle. Also I am tired. And lonley, because Abby has gone to New York.

My hands will stop hurting. Then I will write more.

Google "$name needs" (replacing $name with your name) and take the first ten or so results.

Mark needs a chick.

Mark needs some director help.

Mark needs oak ridge information.

Mark needs to clearly state the nature of... and Mark needs to explain what the health position is.

And that's all I could find. After that, they devolved into placements of the two words that weren't funny.

I suppose this meme drew a blank.

Look at your LJ interests list on your User Info. If you have fewer than ten intersts, list all of them. If you have fifty interests, list every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five interests, list every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five interests, list every tenth one. Then, tell everyone exactly what it is about these things that interests you so much.

Aikido: Aikido is resistance through non-resistance, fighting by not-fighting. As a martial arts style, it is something I can practice without compromising my principles; as a philosophy, it is brilliant and compatible with my Judaism. I kind of fell out of it this past year (after being involved for only a semester, which makes me kind of pitiful), but I'm going to try to get back into it. I need to see if I can find an Aikido dojo in the Bay Area that has classes in the evenings...

Communism: I have a lot of friends who are much more seriously interested in communism than I am. For me, it is a seductive ideal, something to study, though I'm not sure it could ever work, or ever really has. No matter how much I think about it, though, I can't dispell the idea that a society based on equality and cooperation, without money or monetary ambition, would be something to fight for, if it could be made to work.

Jazz: What can I say? It's one of the greatest music movements there is.

Magic: I have always been interested in the idea that there are things in the world beyond our current understanding, perhaps beyond our capacity to understand. This, for me, is magic. Whether or not it can be harnessed or controlled by human beings is something else altogether. I'm not too sure what I think about that.

Mythology: I have always been fascinated by the myths people tell, both as a scholar of cultures and religions and as a storyteller. I have always believed you can tell a lot about someone by the stories he tells, whatever he believes.

Roleplaying: One of my favorite hobbies. Enough said.

SoMA: The Society of Mutual Autopsy, a website that is sort of a cross between a communal blog and magazine recommended by my friend Aaron Wooden, the minister's son. It's a group that examines the vicissitudes of American religion. Most of it is about Christianity, but I still find it fascinating.

This one's going in my user info:
