šarrat procrastinati

More Ištar on Tuesday. To those of you who are reading my livejournal only for the Neo-Assyrian, I must apologize. On the bright side, Ea-Enki is my new culture hero.

In way more mundane news, I received my contributor's copy of Full Unit Hookup #6 today, and it continues to be a magazine of rather good, nay, exceptional literature.

Check out [livejournal.com profile] nineweaving's latest entry and contemplate: which archetypes are in your pack of cards?

I tried to think of cards for a while, honestly, but I think that I've listened to the Card Trio from "Carmen" one too many times. Of course, they were doing readings with a deck of more-or-less standard playing cards. I have a pack of silver-edged cards, replicas of late 18th century French designs, though brought a little up to date. They're part of a series called "Tarot." The standard deck consists of 56 cards, 14 to a suit. 1-10 (1 instead of Ace), V (Valet, or Jack), C (Cavalier, which we don't have), D (Dame, or Queen), and R (Roi, or King). In addition, there are 21 numbered cards with various painted scenes, and one "Fou" (literally "crazy"). I'm closest to that one, not because I'm nuts (heh) but because he's a lute player with a feather in his hat. Somehow that hits close to home.

One of these days, assuming I can find a font that shows up coherently on other people's computers, I'll even figure out how to work Greek into the mix . . .

(There are gusts and sheets of snow blowing past my window at this moment. I don't blame you at all.)

I don't think I understand the meme. What are the archetypes all these cool kids are talking about these days?

Just your own personal ones, I think: what configurations of characters do you find turning up in your work?

Oh! Neat! Okay

Oh, in my work you know pretty much what my standard archetypes are. I thought you were asking about my life!

Who says the question can't mean both? (See the Box of Clementines.)

Hmm. You seem to hold the Inveterate Punster, the Song-and-Dance Man (Reversed), the Hamster Ascendant, and the Trey of Quotables. Not a bad hand. Got any Captivating Annoyances?

You could have Clementine Writings I know nothing about. (And actually, I do, if you count the Spencer Churchill variety.)

Do I ever have Captivating Annoyances. Do you need any?
