Once a day…
…the Security Admin of Mesa 5…
…and her most trusted agent…
…meet on the O’Donalds Sponsored Bridge…
…check for eavesdroppers, hackers, lurkers and spies…
…and then get down to the real business of the day.
A damn fine cup of coffee.

Every deCom team needs one.
Someone to interpret the MIMINT’s emissions.
Locate them.
And direct their decommissioning.
It’s a hazardous occupation. They fight back.
And the command head tech is barely paid for by the deCom fees.
So I’m still working for the corp.
Some things never seem to change.

There are nineteen billion of us.
We live our lives underground now.
We commit our crimes underground.
We even fight our wars underground.
We don’t live on the surface anymore, the environment became too hostile.
Fusion reactors were our escape hatch.
If this sounds grim to you.
Consider this.
I’m a cop.

Last weekend SLuniverse,
founded and operated by Cristiano Midnight,
celebrated ten years online with a two day prom and party.
It was a formal affair.
So I went formal.
I like to fit in.
Thank you Cris, Munch, Bard, the DJs, and everyone who helped, took pictures, and attended.
You rock!

The system is the work of art;
the visual work of art is the proof of the System.
The visual aspect can’t be understood without understanding the system.
It isn’t what it looks like,
but what it is that is of basic importance.

“I insist on Mayfair rules.”
That’s what I said to him when he specified a meeting here.
You wouldn’t know it to look at me…
…but I’m with the Circus.
Mayfair rules? If my socks are any colour but red, it is safe to make contact.
If they are red it means the meeting is blown.
Guess I’ll just go and get a cappucino.

swing low, swing low
for to carry me home
in fire the skies of red
my breath’s gone cold
a kiss from the coal
a blanket of snow overhead
slow, holy roller
it’s just rock and roll
hold your tears
where they’ve hung all these years
down from the heavens above
old snake eyes
you had better disguise
all that appears of thee
pray for love
from the heavens above
laid in the ashes below
~ merry christmas, peace and love ~

Hollow Triumph
Paul Henreid: You’re a bitter little lady.
Joan Bennett: It’s a bitter little world.
The Big Sleep
Humphrey Bogart regarding Lauren Bacall:
She was worth a stare. She was trouble.
The Big Steal
Robert Mitchum: I don’t usually make it a habit to butt into women’s affairs,
but what’s this guy Fisk to you?
Jane Greer: Don’t change your habits on my account.
Ace in the Hole
Jan Sterling: I don’t pray.
Kneeling bags my nylons.
Farewell, My Lovely
Dick Powell: I caught the blackjack right behind my ear.
A black pool opened up at my feet.
I dived in.
It had no bottom.
Detour
Tom Neal: Money. You know what that is. The stuff you never have enough of.
Little green things with George Washington’s picture that men slave for, commit crimes for, die for.
It’s the stuff that has caused more trouble in the world than anything else ever invented.
Simply because there’s too little of it.
The Big Steal
Jane Greer to Robert Mitchum: What I like about you is you’re rock bottom.
I wouldn’t expect you to understand this,
but it’s a great comfort for a girl to know she could not possibly sink any lower.
The Woman in the Window
Edward G. Robinson to Joan Bennett: There are only three ways to deal with a blackmailer.
You can pay him and pay him and pay him until you’re penniless.
Or you can call the police yourself and let your secret be known to the world.
Or you can kill him.
Blade Runner
Harrison Ford: [narrating] I don’t know why he saved my life.
Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before.
Not just his life – anybody’s life; my life. All he’d wanted were the same answers the rest of us want.
Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got?
All I could do was sit there and watch him die.

Who can tell me if we have heaven,
Who can say the way it should be;
Earth’s last picture, the end of evening
Hue of indigo and blue.
Moonlight holly, the Sappho Comet,
Angel’s tears below a tree.
A new moon leads me to
Woods of dreams and I follow.
A new world waits for me;
My dream, my way.
I know that if I have heaven
There is nothing to desire.
Rain and river, a world of wonder
May be paradise to me.

Get down with him
I would risk the serpent’s bite
I would dance around with seven
I would kiss the diamond back
If I knew it would get me to heaven
‘Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know you got to get right with God
I would burn the soles of my feet
Burn the palms of both my hands
If I could learn and be complete
If I could walk righteously again
I would sleep on a bed of nails
‘Till my back was torn and bleeding
In the deep darkness of Hell
The Damascus of my meeting
I asked God about his plan
To save us all from Satan’s slaughter
If I give up one of my lambs
Will you take me as one of your daughters?
‘Cause I want to get right with God
Yes, you know you got to get right with God

Or do I mean darkness,

Ich kann dich nicht sehen, aber ich weiß, dass du hier bist.
Ich fühle es.
Sie wurden um hängen seit ich hier bin.
Ich wünschte, ich könnte dein Gesicht sehen.
Nur in die Augen schauen und sagen Ihnen, wie gut es ist,
hier zu sein. Nur um etwas zu berühren.
Siehe, das ist kalt, das fühlt sich gut. Oder zu rauchen.
Haben Kaffee. Oder wenn Sie es gemeinsam zu tun, das ist fantastisch.
Oder zu zeichnen. Du weißt, du einen Bleistift nehmen und Sie machen eine dunkle Linie,
dann machen Sie eine leichte Linie und zusammen ist es eine gute Linie.
Oder wenn Ihre Hände sind kalt und reiben Sie sie zusammen.
Siehe, das ist gut, das fühlt sich gut.
Es gibt so viele gute Dinge, aber du bist nicht hier.
Ich bin hier.
Ich wünschte, du wärst hier. Ich wünschte,
du könntest mit mir reden. . . denn ich bin ein Freund.
Compañero.

Once did She hold the gorgeous east in fee;
And was the safeguard of the west: the worth
.
Of Venice did not fall below her birth,
Venice, the eldest Child of Liberty.
.
She was a maiden City, bright and free;
No guile seduced, no force could violate;
.
And, when she took unto herself a Mate,
She must espouse the everlasting Sea.
.
And what if she had seen those glories fade,
Those titles vanish, and that strength decay;
.
Yet shall some tribute of regret be paid
When her long life hath reached its final day:
.
Men are we, and must grieve when even the Shade
Of that which once was great is passed away.
.
