"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: Chinese dragons, pursuing you in the New Year

Websafe: Hello?
The Mirror: (He frowns)
W: Not glad to see me?
M: Don't think I'm frightened, I'm interested in trying to reestablish the idea
of perspective.
W: A proper social distance between people.
M: I'd like to be alone.
W: Right now?
M: One child, in later years, would say or think, "Where does it begin and where does it end?"
W: It ends if you don't really want to talk to me.
M: No, most emphatically not, who can?
W: You don't enjoy talking to me?
M: You probably don't believe me.
W: I don't want to believe you would turn on me so suddenly!
M: Waaah!
W: Are you mocking me?
M: I'm only prepared for Chinese takeout food.
W: But not for conversation?
M: This knowledge empowered Samuel.
W: Is your name Samuel?
M: Are you a candy bar?
W: I am not a candy bar, so I suppose that means your name isn't Samuel.
M: And I ran home.
W: You ran home from the Chinese restaurant?
M: There's a quiver and a quake that has no name to it.
W: What were you afraid of?
M: You don't seriously want to know.
W: Ah, but I do.
M: Not clear at all.
W: Was it Chinese dragons, pursuing you in the New Year?
M: We are accessing the mirror neurons, please make an imitable movement.
W: I waved, will that do?
M: It means breaking things into a hundred syllables.
W: To describe the simplest of motor events is very complicated, I'm sure.
M: What were you afraid of?
W: I was afraid I wouldn't be up to it.
M: Writing theses is not a good way to escape poverty.
W: I never wrote a thesis on neuroscience.
M: Maybe you were reading.
W: I never read a thesis on neuroscience, either.
M: They were ungraspable, they worked without thought.
W: Neuroscientists might not actually believe in thought, as such.
M: Adventures not undertaken.
W: On the contrary, I think the main adventure of today lies in neuroscience.
M: Part of reality includes memory.
W: Good point, but I must go now.
M: You got that right!
W: Goodbye!
M: Closing in 1 second ... Goodbye!
