All the better, no?

Way to keep the dream alive, 'Tivo. ;)

[altivo.livejournal.com]

And like the baseless fabric of this vision
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great glove itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And like this insusbstantial pageant faded
Leave not a rack behind: we are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep. Sir, I am vexed;
Bear with my weakness, my old brain is troubled!
Be not disturbed with my infirmity.
If you be pleased, retire into my cell
And there repose; a turn or two I'll walk
To still my beating mind.

William Shakespeare, The Tempest act IV, scene 1

I know that Lewis Carroll was born long before WW2, but Jan. 27 is also the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945, and that strikes me as being a rather perverse day on which to pretend that everything is not what it is.

I know I'm being a spoil-sport, on par with those who don't want anyone to say the C-word at Christmas time, so I'll hide behind an anonymous comment. ;p

C-word? You mean chanukah, right?

I don't think celebrating Lewis Carroll's birthday takes anything away from the truth of the holocaust. That seems a bit of a stretch even to me, and I'm normally accused of being much too serious. In the last 200 years, a great many very nasty disasters have occurred on December 24, too, but we don't think that celebrating Christmas is an insult to the victims or their memory.

Life goes on, it must. The holocaust was a terrible thing, and must not be forgotten, I agree. In fact, we must remember it every day of the year, rather than on any particular date.

Rabbitr Hole Day? Mew?

Click on the text in the graphic for explanation.

Stipulating in advance that I know you didn't design the graphic, et cetera: I'm pretty sure I've seen the Rabbit Hole Day more than once before… and all these announcements about "second annual" are making me wonder if no one knows how to look at their own archives?

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Well, for me it is indeed the second annual. And the one the graphic came from claims to have originated it (for LiveJournal at least) and declares it to be the second annual. Are you saying that it was celebrated on LiveJournal 3 or more years back? I wasn't here to see.

So,,,we're not supposed to be ourselves tomorrow? If I go off on a tangent, what if I can't find my way back? Should I leave a trail of breadcrumbs?

[altivo.livejournal.com]

Sure. When I send birds to eat the breadcrumbs I'll instruct them to make sure they guide you back to the road. ;p
