I'm freezing in August...

who want to help me rearrange the months so that September through December become months 7-10 again?

ring · 08-18-2009, 05:54 AM

...or we could pool our resources and head some place warmer.

Jetée · 08-18-2009, 06:03 AM

I still want to rearrange the months, and perhaps rename the days of the week, so that whenever I mention "Sunday", it's not construed by some omniscient God or business accountant as me worshipping another god who controls the Sun.

If we were to keep July and August, where would you place them? Months eleven and twelve; Months One & Two?

ring · 08-18-2009, 06:04 AM

11 and twelve I think.

No wait...

Tophat665 · 08-18-2009, 06:06 AM

ring · 08-18-2009, 06:13 AM

The months could use some fresher names.

I think January and February should be the last two months of calendar, but still retain their seasonal affectedness. Winter is the last season, so why not have the months in which it is associated with be the last months as well? See, Jan. & Feb. would essentially still be in the right place in time on the calendar, but just be months 11 and 12. Although, I do like the whole history of "Janus" that's tied into the month, so perhaps January should be either month 12 or month 1.

July and August should perhaps be renamed. (but darn my affinity to attribute the name "August" to that of flowing winds and Autumn remembrances)

First month? July?

Those in favor?

Jetée · 08-18-2009, 06:39 AM

Aye-aye-aye-aye?!

Jetée · 08-18-2009, 06:39 AM

How many more was that?

ring · 08-18-2009, 06:41 AM

8 little replicants.

I was kinda thinking you might do that.

9

Jetée · 08-18-2009, 06:48 AM

I only have seven ulterior personalities, none of which I really give much credence, or food to, regularly.

Well, there is NobleTalent... I give him a bit more attention then the others. And Jetstream as well. Well, if those guys count (ones that have no real "post-card" names) then I may have 11 in all; 7 personalities that hail from 7 different regions, and 4 one-shot nicknames that I use to mask them.

One of my favorites is Ocean B. Graves, born Sep. 15 1983, associated colour, orange, a Virgo, and in the Year of the Dog. I forgot what country he is from, though.

Can you guess his middle name?

ring · 08-18-2009, 06:51 AM

Bottom?

Jetée · 08-18-2009, 06:56 AM

No, but Longbottom is a perfect middle name for someone with an astounding display of mustachio'd manliness.

Beauregard.

Well, then that'd explain the last of Graves, then.

I guess I'll attribute him as a Frenchman from now on, but from where exactly?

ring · 08-18-2009, 07:13 AM

Morocco.
He could be a mime, as well.

Jetée · 08-18-2009, 07:17 AM

I had a dream last night in which this song was featured; I think it was an homage to graduating, because the authority in my dream said this was the last day to make an impression.

it first started off as a repetition of "man on the moon"... but I thought, that's not right; so it evolved into a "man on the run", but it still lacked that permanence.
Finally, I got it right: we were a "band on the run"

BadNick · 08-18-2009, 07:45 AM

dew drop in...from Ocean City MD where I can now see the ocean, though only the top not the bottom, and it's ~90F today, clear and sunny. Count my vote to make the first day of Spring the first day of the "year"...and maybe forget about "months" though I like the historical connections. We could have the 3rd of Spring...the 2nd of Autumn, etc.

I'm about ready to head into the ocean, though no surf board since the waves here at this time of year are not worth the effort, though there are always a few die-hards out there on theirs having a nice little ride.

Not random at all!!! Not even one minute ago, I was re-evaluating my comment in roachboy's blog, and in the first five words, it describes what is now seen above!
