MsGRANT!?! Whoa! You're back! Excellent! Thanks for the kudos. I don't know what "The Sun," is, though. Please enlighten. And please DO start writing again. The vid above so inspired me that I had to expand upon it somehow. I'm more than honored that my little crumbs of text have provided inspiration. :)— November 11, 2009 12:05 p.m.

Gringo, that's a certain Reader staffer. You know that. ;)— November 11, 2009 11:19 a.m.

And thanks again, Cuddle.— November 11, 2009 9:57 a.m.

Thanks, refried. I had used the <br> tags to shorten the TTC lines, but thought the <P> would be the one to set off the video. Took a couple of breakies before & after, but now it looks more like I want it to. Thanks for your input as well, Pikey. You must have infinite patience for detail, with all those footnotes. Me? Not so much. Have a snarfariffic day! :)— November 11, 2009 9:55 a.m.

Those were the ones I used, refried. You were right about that last unclosed center tag. This is about as good as it's going to get, I think. I'd like a little more space between my text lines and that video, but I can't seem to get it, even using <P> tags.— November 10, 2009 11:17 p.m.

Oy. It just occurred to me. This blog entry has now become: a.)hidden, but still here. b.)immovably centered. The Universe has one droll-ass sense of humor.— November 10, 2009 10:31 p.m.

Oh, this is SO special. I just noticed that all our comments are appearing centered, as well -- just because the last bit of text in the blog entry is! Now THAT is screwed up!!!— November 10, 2009 10:25 p.m.

Okay, I don't understand. It's not on the front page or in the blog list, but apparently it's still up & receiving comments. No comprende. :/ Thanks, Cuddle. I appreciate it. I had referenced that piece by Pilobolus in a comment a week or so ago, and decided I wanted to write something around it. I really do think it's one of the finest pieces of performance art I've ever seen. The technical aspects by themselves are almost miraculous. There are moments when they almost appear not to be touching each other, and yet somehow he's lifting her. For what this dance is portraying (which most people aren't getting, apparently), that factor is critical. And the atheleticism and leverage it takes to pull it off? Well, like I said, practically miraculous. Just stunning. Yeah, refried. The formatting. All the italicized quotes should be centered, with the Tao te Ching stuff in short lines, as they appear in the TTC. I'm too sick and tired of attempting html tags to try to fix it right now, even though it looks like crap. Maybe tomorrow morning when I'm full of fresh coffee, I'll give it another shot. :) As far as I can tell, there's no way to PREVIEW a blog entry before you publish it, is there? That's a 'major' problem, AFAIC -- especially when the appearance of text in the little box you're typing in looks nothing like the page is going to when you're done. Reeeeeeally aggravating. That needs fixin'.— November 10, 2009 10:23 p.m.

AAAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!! This is all screwed up and I can't un-publish it! <fume>— November 10, 2009 7:56 p.m.

Goatttfish, if you're still swimming about, could you please give a little more info as to this statement: "Stephen King is consciously using and reworking a "form" of subliminal racism developed in the 1830s by a Unitarian minister from Charleston South Carolina." Do you have a name, here? This doesn't sound like Unitarians (now merged with Universalists) at all. You're an interesting individual, Goatttfish. I hope you stick around.— November 10, 2009 10:39 a.m.
