JP's home then!!
How can you not notice the plumeisters return when all of a sudden theres 14 bits of mail in " what you've missed" the man doesnt work even when hes at work...Well ive kept me mouth shut for a bit, but as you know im a big fan of the Armstrong but and its a big but, with all the latest doping scandals including some of the" best" riders of the world could LA compete and beat all of the others cleanly when they were all doping,was he really that good.Is it possible to ride the tour or any pro bike race and win without doping.Some say his test results show that he was a beyond normal athlete,why? .Could he have been the only one in the world, i doubt it.What is doping anyway when companies such as lucozade legally advertises its products will make you 33% better than water ...is that doping,am i cheating if the man next to me hasnt got a caffenated powerbar for his last lap,where do we draw the line can we draw the line can doping be truly defined.

Four cards appeared this time: the King of Pentacles again, and three new ones.In addition to what's quoted earlier, Rachel said,"Traditionally, the King of Pentacles is a master of wealth, a man of property and power. This King seems to look deeper, with his wonderful hooded eyes."These days you get serious money for your work. You said in an interview a few years back that the problems of success were definitely preferable to the problems of failure. (Let's skip for the moment the questions raised by my elision of money and success there.) Does your situation now give you more access to better tools to do your work? How about time -- how much time does it cost to look after property-money-business-connections? A great many people imagine that being a financially successful writer means you get to sit on a plush upholstered cloud with next year's computer and have people bring you ambrosia whenever you're feeling a little peckish, and otherwise they tiptoe around you in velvet slippers so as not to disturb you -- but that sure doesn't seem to match what really happens.The Hanged Man - Shade, the Changing Man (Neptune)"The most important symbol in the traditional card is the face. The Hanged Man does not suffer. We see him radiant and joyous, for the tree is the Tree of Life, and he has bound himself to spiritual truth. [...] For Shade, the tree is the Madness, which for him is both a place and a tangible force. Shade gains power from it, but he cannot separate himself from it. Like the Hanged Man, he can only surrender."Characters who tie themselves to the truth get into interesting predicaments if it's a truth that's not visible to other people. And their sacrifices (literally self-sacrifices, in the case of the Hanged Man) look crazy to other characters. One of the first sacrifices required of some of your characters at the entrance to truth, or magic, or story, is part of their dignity, their attempts at appearing sophisticated - Richard Mayhew in Neverwhere, Tim Hunter in Books of Magic, and so on. Is part of the entry fee being willing to look stupid or be embarrassed?The Devil - Lucifer, from"Sandman" -"People who know the traditional Tarot Devil will recognize the horned face, and even the chains in this picture. The beach chair, however, might strike them as odd."Some of the fun in your stories is things combining in unlikely ways and then going on to be very much themselves in unlikely places. Maybe it's their matter-of-factness: of course that item was in a thrift shop; of course one tries to fend off improbable carnivores with one's umbrella; of course one behaves such-and-such a way, even if all Hell is breaking loose and/or the world is ending. (Just because it's the apocalypse doesn't mean one should forget one's manners.) The joyful absurd combinations go back a long way with you, especially when they are joyful absurd combinations that also say something serious. Isn't this also part of what the early feedback on"Forbidden Brides of the Faceless Slaves in the Secret House of the Night of Dread Desire" was missing the point of entirely? Why is laughing about something seen as an unacceptable form of analysis? It's like some people don't think silliness is one door to the sacred or the magic or the truth or whatever you want to call.Six of Swords -"We see the Swords poised, a little like a fence, before complicated images, the productions of the mind. On the left we see wheels and ratchets, like some eighteenth-century brass clockwork machine.""Harlequin Valentine" in Fragile Things has a connection to something rather like a clockwork machine; what is it, and when did you first see it? Do works by this artist live with you now?What was it like going to House on the Rock when you were working on American Gods? Did you get to spend much time with the carousel? Have you been back since?[Read entire topic]
