So I have a dragon egg.

Another thing for me to remember to click, along with my minicity!

Oh also my laptop's in bad shape and my cell phone just broke. I am effectively completely isolated from the world; it's an odd feeling.

Sing, goddess, of the wanderings of the many-turning one,
impatient of mind and slow of foot; sing of her search
fruitless though it was; and tell, daughter of Zeus
what god stood against her in her travels.
Surely it was Kronos, father of all; for his realm
was begrudged her, having lost all time.
From ill-favored, low-roofed Gauss Hall she came,
alone, and holding in her right hand
the broken silver cell-phone, dim now of screen;
she knew, alas! of only one sorrow, but there were more to come.
For this phone was her prop and her alarm clock;
and she had a hundred lines to translate ere noon.
Unmindful of this she came unto red Wilcox
and there spoke awhile with her comrades;
but suddenly there came into her mind the early morning,
and the phone that had been her waking-call;
and logging off quickly she left the dining-hall.
Northward then she went, to the U-Store, home of tigers
and came there; but its ever-open doors were closed.
Then to the small Wa she went, while from upper doors
the sound of revels reached her heedless ears.
She came to the Wa, but found no help there;
yet she remembered the other U-Store, and hastened there.
Yet no help there she found: on its meager shelves
she saw tape and thread and umbrellas, boxes of condoms,
food of unpleasant packaging, and playing cards.
Then she went forth again to red Wilcox,
pondering in her mind whether she should sleep outside hallowed Firestone
or, staying pure of sleep, breakfast early.
But, failing in these things, she bitched about it in her LJ.
