| My dove, in the clefts of the rock
in the hiding place on the mountain side;
Let me see your face,
Let me hear your voice,
For your voice is sweet,
and your face is lovely.
in other news, the lightning bolt of previous musing (see the post for
May 23rd) seems to have struck indeed, in the delightful form of one
Mical Thurow. She's a great woman of God, a passionate lover of Christ,
and just amazing to me in every way. That verse up yonder is the one
God gave me for her; to me it really speaks of seeking out the real
Mical, the part of her that is the most her, and just being in love
with it.
the thing that is really cool is feeling God's delight in all of this.
He just blesses us so much as we continue to humble ourselves before
Him and seek His delight (which so amazingly happens to also be the
most delightful thing for her and I, God loves us to love eachother,
who woulda thunk it?). also cool is finding just the way you feel
constantly described and blessed in God's word; there are so many
verses i've come across this past month+ that just speak perfectly to
Mical and me.
i've been considering the relationship between peace, righteousness,
humility, and thankfullness alot recently. i''ve been coming across a
lot of passages where two or more of those concepts are tied together,
one causing the other or that sort of thing. also i have a new life
verse to add to the list (Daniel 10:12):
Then he continued, "Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that
you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before
your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
i've set my mind to gain understanding and humble myself before God.
i'm realizing thats really what i wanted to do all along, it just took
me a while to figure that out. "Onwards and upwards"

| so, in anycase, it's been a good long while since i posted here. time
to dust off the old keyboard and get a-typing. not a post to be found
in somewhat more than a semester. fascinating.
this past semester went by sufferably well. and by sufferably well i
mean it was just spectacular. and with naught but finals between me and
the end, i believe it to be well enough finished to count. i feel like
a much more competent person than i did at the beginning of the
semester, there are a lot more engineering type things i understand
now, and i'm finally making it to the point where all of the seemingly
random tidbits of information come together to form a good practical
understanding of how to do things. it's amazing to me how much
knowledge is required to understand even simple things, like radios,
alarm clocks, and the likes, and how seemingly advanced even such
everyday things are. it's kind of amazing to think about how far
technology has advanced in the past 100 years, and the more i learn the
more my amazement increases.
the award for the most fun class goes to modern physics. ok, so maybe i
really am a nerd, but it was fun to learn about how space and time are
actually part of the same thing, all the mathematical inner workings of
quantum mechanics, and how to solve 4 dimensional 2nd-order partial
differential equations. but the real winner here is the newly minted
Dr. Forringer, it's great to have a prof who is clearly really excited
and yet still in awe of what he teaches, and who provides a great
example of someone who's love of physics pushes him ever closer to the
God who makes all those crazy things work.

| Found this little beauty in a Morrowind FAQ. Ah, the endless treseaures of online literature.
This document is not copyrighted by me, Mochan, on May 18, 2002.
I did not go to a patent office, I did not register this with any
publishing company, I did not do anything to copyright this FAQ
at all. So you can be cheap and rip me off.
*** BUT ***
If you do I will send a Stealth Virus to infect your computer (because
I am a Cheap Ass, I *know* when you rip me off) and this Stealth Virus
will stay in your computer without your knowledge, destroying your life,
but you will never know because it is a Stealth Virus. You can go on
with your life as if nothing happened, you will not know anything
about the Stealth Virus until it is too late. The virus is so advanced
it will cause all sorts of things in your life to go haywire. That
girl you were courting turns you down? Stealth virus. Lost your job?
It wasn't the recession, it was the Stealth Virus. Failed your last
midterms? That's because the Stealth Virus played low frequency
sounds from the PC speakers while you were asleep, causing a fitful
sleep that did not prepare you to undertake the next day. Trouble
with the Missus? The Stealth Virus has been sending all sorts of
profane e-mails from you to her best friends, and they've been
talking about your obscene behavior during their tea-time get togehters.
There is no anti-virus for my super advanced Stealth Virus. The only
way to get rid of it is to trash your PC. You must trash the PC, because
if you don't it will be back. If you sell it to a friend the virus will
dial-up from the friend's house to find your computer again and infect it.
It infects the BIOS as well, so if you change your harddisk it won't help.
This is an evil virus, designed by me to give you heaven's punishment
for being a Cheap Ass rip-off. If by some divine intervention you do manage
to get rid of the Stealth Virus, your confidence will still have been
shattered by the devastating effects of the virus, crippling you for life
and impairing your efficiency and esteem.
So plagiarist beware. | | |
| my cousin was wedded today. how very anticipatory. by which i mean that
each of my elder cousins has through some method or another found
themselves entangled in the bonds of matrimonial bliss. i fear my dear
old relations, those to whom i am grand-progeny and such, shall have to
wait a bit for me, granted no lightning bolt strikes from above.
speaking
of lightning, i'm realizing just how different my school life is from
life here on the home front. no equations, no circuits. the perhaps
truly mournful thing being that those particular topics i just spent a
small fortune and many a nocturnal hour perusing are of such a nature
that even the most sage of my Dallasian friends could not begin to
comprehend them. the joys of slight geekdom being multitudinous as they
are, the ability to communicate the things you think on a lot with your
friends, and have them actually care about them, is somewhat lacking.
there i go waxing sentimental. also sniggle. oh well, with that, to bed. | | |
