On Problems

by Piet Hein tr. Jens Arup

Our choicest plans have fallen through our airiest castles tumbled over because of lines we neatly drew and later neatly stumbled over.

“The road to wisdom? — Well, it’s plain and simple to express: Err and err and err again but less and less and less. Put up in a place where it’s easy to see the cryptic admonishment T.T.T. When you feel how depressingly slowly you climb, it’s well to remember that Things Take Time.” — Piet Hein, German physicist and poet, inventor of the Astro Calendar, the poetry genre known as “grook” and the super-ellipsoid known as “superegg”, and direct descendant of the 16th-century pirate Piet Hein.

To chaor. Did you ever learn that kaz and one of his friends filled in for grook as a night guard at underworld pits?

Chaor: I did. That was the day I realized humans can be an easy solution to labor shortages. Don't worry, we pay them adequately and they get breaks.

concepts for a gull character with a sad backstory and his friends

they don't have a name but the gull was a part of a flock, which was slaughtered for the sake of "pest control" (some guys picked a gun and just killed them all). The gull made it out, but not without a wound, in fact he has a limp. He's a loner, kinda gruff. Then there's the pigeon, very anxious and with only one foot, the grook is young and curious, very smart, and the rat. The rat hates birds and considers them lower to mammals (not as smart, i was tired of birds thinking of themselves as superior trope and turned it around) but they're not all that bad.

My Chaotic stickers! I thought I'd share with you my sticker collection that I've stuck in my card collectors album. Does anyone else have Chaotic stickers? :) Oh, you won't see Chaor because I had him on my laptop and then my cat ate him.... -_-'

A Psychological Tip

by Piet Hein

Whenever you’re called on to make up your mind, and you’re hampered by not having any, the best way to solve the dilemma, you’ll find, is simply by spinning a penny.

No–not so that chance shall decide the affair while you’re passively standing there moping; but the moment the penny is up in the air, you suddenly know what you’re hoping.
