HA HA!!! there are also eight of me

i am one of octuplets

heee heeeeeee

I wonder how many there are of me. I can feel many.

Currently, the me that lives two dimensional membranes to the left is spreading a slice of salri-weed bread with trundat-berry jam for her six catanoid(half human half cat) children for tea. The sky is deep green outside the mullioned windows, and that bodes nickle speck showers. Good day to stay indoors with the little ones building model teseracts. It's a nice place to visit, ya'll, but we wouldn't want to live there. Their Jim Carrey is insufferable!

teseracts
hmmmmm.... what is a teseract?

la_veronique,

A teseract[or tesseract] is hard to explain; one must see it:
[en.wikipedia.org]

It's what initiates the children's paranormal physics adventure in the plot of Madeleine L'Engle's novel, A Wrinkle in Time.

This seems like the appropriate thread for funny stuff... so here is some more.

Hey Tamukha

Cool. I liked watching the 4-D moving version of the teseract. Thanks. I read "Wrinkle In Time" but I guess I wasn't paying attention when I read it cuz I don't remember the teseract. I DO remember the cover of the book though and the hyacinth and the centaur with wings. Maybe that picture is skewing things and I am "remembering" that they went through a time portal via the help of the pegasus creature. I do remember the little boy talking about mitochondria ... and I remember other stuff ... mostly how I felt... but I don't remember teseracts. This means that I would be overjoyed reading the book again.

HA HA HA HA HA HAA!!!!! I LOVED those quotes. Thanks for making me laugh.
Laughter is always good

Lightform,

Thanks; these gave me a chuckle, especially the first one.

la_veronique,

Yep, those L'Engle books are really dense and that you remember anything from them means you deserve a big gold star in the middle of your forehead : ) I am thinking of dragging them out from the dim back wall of the bookcase(I have books stacked three-deep in there) and re-reading them myself. Good for humid stormy summer days, when the weather seems otherworldly itself . . .

There was another book she wrote to A wrinkle In Time. I read that one too but a long time ago and now I don't remember what it was cuz i read so many books. Something about a wind i think... anyhow. L'Engle rawcks! Any other great book recommendations? I'm open.

If your interested LaV... my favorite book of all time is The Initiate Brother by Sean Russell. It is very oriental flavoured, featuring a culture of feudal Japanese lifestyle. Diplomacy, warfare, profound spiritualism, empires and adventure... awesome stuff .

la_veronique,

The other books were, "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" and "A Wind in the Door." I read those books when I was about 11, in the fall, when the shadows come quickly and the air smells acrid from rotting fruit and desiccating leaves--my favorite time of year! I remember how otherworldy those books made me feel in my earthly little girl's bedroom. That's the hallmark of a great book, that it can transport you and grip you for decades afterward. My favorite novel is like that: "Fathers and Sons," by Ivan Turgenev.

The last books I read that made me feel that way were Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go," a profoundly sad but philosphically probing book, and Cormac McCarthy's "The Crossing," which can be described the same way, though the books are thematically and narratively dissimilar.

Lightform,

I've never heard of that book, but now I'm going to have to do something about that, 'cos I hate feeling dumb, dontcha know : )
