Phantasmic Links 5.8.06

I hope everyone had a nice weekend! It was a little cool on Sunday, but overall the weather was clear and beautiful. On Saturday I fixed a garage door and mowed a few lawns, and on Sunday I went to a Christening for one of my cousin's children, followed by an outdoor party in their backyard. During the week prior, I wasn't looking forward to any of my impending obligations, mostly because I saw them as obligations, violations of precious “me” time. A selfish attitude to be sure, but in hindsight I enjoyed both days, far better ways to spend time than lying in bed watching DVDs. One of my aunts at the gathering, a denizen of a senior home, complained about people coming up to her where she lived, while she sat knitting. “They always ask me what I'm doing. How can I get them to leave me alone?” We all need time to be contemplative, to be alone with our thoughts, although isolation is a bad thing as well. Time and time again, I find the overall key to life to be balance, finding the right middle ground between any extremes. I usually follow such deep thoughts by playing mindless flash games and so, without further introspection, here are this week's PHANTASMIC LINKS:
