… I found a question on Yahoo’s Q&A board.

The question was simple:
What do A-list actors, B-list actor, C-list actors, and D-list actors mean?
I heard that B-list are TV actors, and A-list actors are movie actors.
Can someone set it straight?

Unfortunately, someone gave the stock answer:
Okay..obviously you don’t understand the social pyramid of hollywood.Dude here it goes: A-listers are particularly successful movie stars or celebutantes or whatever ranging from Will Smith to Paris Hilton, that is how various it is;B-listers are tv actors or other not too successful movie actors or not too known celebutantes like Ashley Johnson or more correctly, Kimberly Stewart;C-listers are rich but they are now probably former tv or movie actors and musicians that might be on some reality show;D-listers are not very important in the hollywood food chain but they do get some recognition they usually include comedians ranging from Michael Ian Black to Godfrey and others….I hope you get it now.

This is dangerously inaccurate. I use the term dangerously because it’s close enough to accurate that it will lead people to sometimes correct but more often than naught incorrect assumptions.

Very, very funny.

A reminder that in pop music, neither rhythms nor melodies are original anymore.

As it’s been posted elsewhere publicly:

Congrats to matertiamat who was appointed yesterday by the Electoral College of the OTO as the newest master of Horizon Oasis.

I’ve been offline quite a bit this week/end.

Feeling under the weather as of pretty much Thursday morning has slowed me down.

The growing child makes it even harder. Work has slipped on me a day or two primarily because of the distractions at home with him. The balance becomes a struggle at times but it’s one I want (nay, need) to find.

For now I find myself often delayed leaving the house for an appt. Being on the run at a moment’s notice. And more often than not having to put Aiden at the top of my priority list with no warning to anyone who isn’t in the room.

I have a lot of irons in the fire right now. And I’m too indignant to start pulling them out. I don’t like failing on any of my commitments. It however would seem that one iron is mostly pulled out of the fire (I’ll be possibly finalizing that one later(Thursday) of this week) Other’s are progressing nicely. Ironically the iron being pulled out is related to the one that is beginning to glow. (Obscure? Vague? Get used to it. More soon)

But, let me first explain that I am goofy-happy over Aiden. Touching his head, watching him play, hearing him laugh, looking into his eyes… It becomes the realization of ongoing magickal work. I see the universe in him. Ultimate potential contained within mortal fragility. I see my own life no longer as a finite point but as a mark on an infinite time line. Years of playing with genealogy mean just a little bit more.

I look at him and I find myself smiling in a goofy manner. Like very little else really matters. Here are the latest pictures of Aiden I am now required to post. (Click the thumbnails to see the full pictures)

So where does this put me?

This post has taken me the better part of 3 hrs to write. I find myself for the most part offline of late and running errands. My cell phone is a continual trip between what does and what doesn’t work. I am trying to stay available for everyone while still getting done the work that keeps everyone alive and healthy (self included) and food on the table.

To present an old joke… If you haven’t heard from me.. it’s probably not you.. it’s probably me.

Ran out of things to say on this topic. So for now, let me conclude with:

It seems appropriate that I got this from fiannaharpar
