4 years can feel like the longest time when you're waiting for something like that...better to go with the flow

I'd been having a vision,
unlike a fucking epiphany
but nearly as effective.

"gag me with a spoon" ...where the hell did that phrase come from? << that's a rhetorical question, don't bother answering it. Thank you.

Whether good questions
get one useful responses
depends on their words.

Sorry to not quote more of you, and also asking you to forgive my Lenten tide of absence, (I lasted two weeks! Take that, Xerxys!) but in my then fuller days of pondering how to go along with this updated calendar of mine, I realized that the number of hours measured in terms of a full calendar year I was working with from the start was only an estimate (about ~2 difference from a true tropical solar year of return).

Having discovered that little nick in my plans, I bring you updated progress on this calendarous endeavor:

the 27-day compression into a month stays the same, and we will continue to abide 12 months into a year.

the small change that came from these calculations is that every year-and-a-half or so, we get a build-up of 9 hours and change to be allocated into the next year, and to continually try to assign all of these hours into a new leap year was taking too much painstaking effort.

The solution: instead of a 324-day year, we just bump it up to a 325-day year, with the leap year coming every 3rd year, and consisting of a true 12-month, 27 day cycle (so, basically, the leap year, we just get rid of the 28th day that we had the previous two years). Awesome. That bit of calculation is finit [and if anybody would like to see it in-detail, just ask; I didn't write much of it down, but I checked it at least 12 times every day, if not hour, to make sure I didn't screw up along the way.]


Now, regarding OCM's query about the risings of the sun and moon and jazz and breakfast: well, that threw a wrench into this offhanded quest of mine to create a better and more defined calendar, without numerous tricks, loopholes and incessant leap years (even though you can't get rid of them entirely). So, I also took MOAB's tip or suggestion of what it would be like to have metric time, and voila, I can actually a 27-hour day work now.


The way it goes is as so: the minute will no longer be 60 seconds long, but a full 100 seconds. To compensate and organize it as such, our ntions of what an hour used to be will have to be quelched. The new hour will consist of an even 32 minutes for each hour, and I have yet to come up with a snazzy title for it, but for those that would like it, every 3 hours will known as something like a "true trial hour" (I have a real hard time coming up with poem and book titles, so no surprise it is lacking).


So, all addressed, the new day (which is still pending, maybe the 14th of March?) for which this calendar will spawn will be host to a new 27-hour day, which consists of a time period of 13 hours marking daytime, another 13 hours to be known as our new nighttime, and finally, a longstanding uninclusion now to be recognized as the hour of twilight.

Questions, comments, new day / month naming suggestions? (July and August may be up for consideration / omission)

27 days has September
October, November, December, too
January, February, March and April
May and June and July, also
But August has 28 and no more
And don't forget the every other year leap year.

Jet, this is just an example. Feel free to change the 28'er to whatever month you choose.

that sounds pretty cool!! I like it!

Well, at least I thank you for naming it after me.

Welcome back, Jet. I hope your sacrifice was philosophically and physically satisfying.

Just sang Sea of Love, Aqualung, and Detachable Penis at Kareoke tonight. A good night.

Detachable Penis ????????????

How the hell did that get into a song????

Not much of a Song, but one heck of a poem.

Mine is still attached, though I wonder for how long, since my wife likes it.

China on Thursday announced its smallest increase in defense spending in more than two decades, a likely result of both financial constraints and growing concern over perceptions of Beijing as a regional military threat.

The smallest increase
seems a national hobby
& damn good practice.

In this photo released by the Syrian official news agency SANA on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, Hellenistic coins dating back to the era of Alexander the Great are seen after they were discovered in northern Syria, the head of the archaeological excavation department in the Aleppo province said Thursday, March 4, 2010. More than 250 Hellenistic coins were discovered by a Syrian man two weeks ago in the Manbej area as he was digging a plot of land he owns to build a house on it, said Youssef Kanjo, head of the archaeological excavation department in Aleppo.

Ourcrazymodern? 03-04-2010 05:17 PM

Who has ownership,
the said archaeologists
or the land-owner?

Jetée 03-04-2010 05:54 PM

That might be a future article (and potential controversy) unto itself.

I have a lot of nice surfing pics, does that count for anything?

Only so long as you share them, and learn from them.
