responsum est in quaestione

salve est


recently, then, i went shopping. as is quite common a thing to happen, an impulse purchase did very get much made. whilst i knew it would be tricky and cumbersome to carry home, on seeing a log shaped and styled cushion i had to buy it, look you see. 

just like anyone else, i like to think (for thinking such keeps me teetering on whatever the right side of whatever sanity is), i have not been able to see or observe a log for somewhere over 30 years without immediately having thoughts drawn to the Log Lady out of Twin Peaks. which, of course, meant that this cushion thing was an immediate purchase. no, it's not a particularly good one; it has that kind of quasi smooth and shiny surface which is quite slippery and therefore not all that comfortable. but, still, the Log Lady out of Twin Peaks and that. or just that. 

with it being of little practical use, and of negligible ornamental or display value (for no one visits me and who one earth would), the question posed was "what to do with it", then. kind of. having given the matter a (reasonably) good think. a decision was made.  


yes, what with it being summer solstice and all that, i did indeed put it to work. bringing together my enthusiasm for vague references to partially remembered quirky television shows and my dabbling with the dark arts made a form of sense, so that is precisely what i did. 

for anyone unaware yet strangely interested, it was not so long ago (here is the link to it) that i discovered, via an online purchase and watching a documentary on the subject (see link for details of the latter), that i had the power of tarot. kind of. utilising the evocation of the Log Lady out of Twin Peaks with this struck me as being in some way efficient, if not all that good an idea. 

speaking of striking, yes, of course. as per the documentary i saw on the subject, before the tarot cards are turned, the turner (or who or what future fortune unwritten legend shall be proclaimed by the ceremony) the deck must be tapped three (3) times. not just two, and five is right out. one of the animated "gif" things of this part of the ceremony? certainly. 


no, i do not consider it either wise or trivial to dabble with the mystical ways of these dark arts. but, i figure, whatever shall be shall be anyway, so why not. 

also, i would suspect you are not really interested in reading much of anything else, but would wish to see the result of the cards drawn. here you go. 


it would not be for me to interpret the cards tapped by the log for you, or anyone else. but, that said, i think it is pretty clear what the cards doth spake of something. interpret as you will. 

drained, i truly am being, by using my special powers so. rest, i now must, retire to the darkness, i shall indeed. 



videtur quod non strutionum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
