Time

While I prefer digital clocks to analog, they do not have the feeling of time that one gets from a grandfather clock or a ticking vintage alarm. There is something constant about the old types with three hands, which doesn't have to do with their age; I don't get the same feeling from sundials. Digital reports and pins down seconds, milliseconds, microseconds; they screech alarms and flick on lights to tell you if the sun is still out. Analog experiences the passage of hours, and the old ones wind down as they advance through the weeks.

(re: title) Of course you always dwell on what you do not have, eh?

On a less philosophical note, I love Carson.

Nicknaming the poor man 'Clarice'. "This is lamb, Clarice." [concerning a shirt]

*giggles*

Good Lord, that man looked 20 years younger without that awful mullet/handlebar combination. And vaguely Ben Browder-like, rowr.

Very interested in next week's QE, with the Fab Five runners-up. Plus, no Thom for being amazing? No Jai for "OMG I want to hug you" moments? No Kyan for teh Sexy? However did they manage?
