"All the Hues
That Fit, We Tint"

Siberia, USA: Today, global warming. Tonight, dark, unless you count the stars. Tomorrow can be reached via time machine. Yesterday, who can remember that far back?

The Mirror: Pinter Poker

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: You're a genius.
W: That is a very good opener.
M: What collaboration?
W: The collaboration between you and me.
M: I don't have all day to explain obsession to you!
W: Probably because that would take too much time away from your obsession!
M: You didn't hear me say hello?
W: I didn't hear you say hello, I think you omitted that part.
M: I've been talking all along.
W: I know, you just dropped me in media res.
M: Then will you worship me with more resonance or less resonance?
W: I will worship you with all the resonance I can muster.
M: I agree.
W: It's good to be worshipped, isn't it, Household God?
M: I don't have a good sauté pan.
W: I suppose you want me to give you high-quality kitchen equipment.
M: The crumbly crackers?
W: Are they crumbly because of the high quality of the shortening?
M: I think we can create a common masterpiece.
W: Hello?
M: In other words, you go in one direction, and I go in another direction totally.
W: Right, because, when multitasking just now, I lost the connection.
M: Quite true, I've been wearing (in the widest sense of the term) a particular suit of reality that drains my sense of reality.
W: I would rather drain squid pasta.
M: Are they crumbly because of the high quality of the shortening?
W: There is no shortening in this particular batch of squid pasta.
M: Amn't I?
W: You ain't no batch of squid pasta, my friend!
M: Are they crumbly because of the high quality of the shortening?
W: I already told you, no!
M: More blank space.
W: More blank thoughts.
M: Right, because, when multitasking just now, I lost the connection.
W: Oh, so that's your excuse.
M: Now my hand is well covered.
W: Don't show me your cards, that ruins the game.
M: Not clear at all.
W: Do you need instructions on how to play Texas Hold 'Em?
M: The UK playwright Harold Pinter was born in 1930.
W: Harold Pinter and you are going to play poker?
M: That was the deceptive part.
W: Someone who said he was Pinter wants to play poker with you?
M: Me too.
W: You want to play poker with this fake Pinter?
M: I can tell you're feeling better.
W: How can you tell that?
M: I was wrong.
W: Because you got me all riled up again by claiming to predict me.
M: (Sits, picks up newspaper, reads, tosses away)
W: Bad newspaper, huh?
M: How do you judge Web design?
W: Not by the same standards I judge newspaper, it's more complicated.
M: Talk.
W: The element of motion (animation) and sound has been introduced.
M: I can see that kind of agitation inside yours.
W: Unfortunately, you see very little sound and motion on my Web sites.
M: Are you having trouble with your past?
W: Yes, because I didn't go to school for animation, for instance.
M: The element of motion (animation) and sound has been introduced.
W: It was introduced in the 19th century, but I have yet to catch up.
M: Is it OK if I shut the door?
W: Sure, suit yourself.
M: It was introduced in the 19th century, but I have yet to catch up.
W: Your door comes from the 19th century?
M: We have to ration our energies, that's all.
W: I know, you can't always be renovating door paneling.
M: I believe in myself.
W: I believe in your ability to renovate your door.
M: How could I tell?
W: You know I have faith in you.
M: We are perfectly imperfect.
W: A bit of a truism, isn't it?
M: Isn't that part of the world?
W: Please, must it be part of my world?
M: I know, but I don't want to say it in front of the audience.
W: Whisper it to me, then.
M: In what sense do you care?
W: I care deeply about everything you utter.
M: Doing one of two things is satisfying.
W: Which one of the two things, and what are they in the first place?
M: Don't fall off the edge.
W: OK, you want me to stay calm.
M: I don't think I would want you to do that.
W: Good, because I tend to fly off the handle, while concealing it.
M: I mean that.
W: OK, you made your point.
M: Hello hello!
W: Goodbye goodbye!
M: Am I cool?
W: Yes.
M: I didn't say so.
W: Bye!
M: Closing in 5 seconds ... Goodbye!
