Requisite post

So, we leave at about Oh-whydidIplanAFlightAtThisTime, tomorrow morning. I’m hoping to once again post with some regularity.

I have already scheduled 5 rental walk thrus, 3 tomorrow.

Busy Busy Busy.

So it’s been awhile since I’ve done any of my truly cruel trivia.

In celebration of Beltane, shimmeringjemmy and I watched, “The Wicker Man.” If you haven’t seen this pearl I absolutely recommend it. I like many other fans live in terror not of the film that was mis-categorized as Horror in the early 70’s. No, we live in fear of 2006 when Neil LaBlute directs Nicolas Cage in a remake of The Wicker Man.

That being said… On to the trivia…

My mind works in bizarre ways. I found a picture that in some miniscule way has a very definite tie to something in the Wicker Man. Take a look at the picture… make your best guess. Comments will be hidden initially but I will reveal them as people guess. 🙂

Ready for the last picture you might expect to see relating to Wicker Man?
Take your best guess

Beltane/Horned God

Last night Blue Horizon Oasis hosted a Horned God ritual. I am not really going to go into what Beltane is. There is more than enough information online 🙂

A wonderfully joyous ritual was celebrated to invoke the spring and Pan, and all things fertile. Incredible kudos to the work of Soror S. for all the work she did to pull the chaotic event together. Of course elqahar did an absolutely stunning job of bringing in the Pan-aic energies. Even if we invoked more than we bargained for.

The highlight of the evening for me was an authentic maypole. We bound two of the brethren to the maypole and entiwined them within it in the hopes that they would be blessed with fertility.

Picture behind the cut 🙂

The happy couple bound….

Your brain: 140% interpersonal, 100% visual, 60% verbal, and 100% mathematical!
Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers.

Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:

  1. Don’t date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%.
  2. Don’t be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%.
  3. Don’t have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

New Tech-Support Caste Arises in India
NEW DELHI—Thanks to widespread outsourcing of telephone-service jobs, a sixth caste has blossomed in India: the Khidakayas, a mid-level jati made up of technical-support workers. “I am happy to be a Khidakaya,” said technical-support agent Ranji Prasat, who speaks English with a flawless American accent and goes by the name “Ron” at work. “While we rank below members of the reigning order, those of us responsible for helping Americans track their online purchases and change their account PINs share many privileges not enjoyed by the merchant class below us.” Prasat said he expects to marry another tech-support worker.
