ok….I’m still floored to believe there’s an encyclopedia for this fantasy world….but there is….there’s also a DUNE Chronology. mecury sent this over, the other day…..he’s currently reading about the early history of Frank Herbery’s universe:
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my fear is gone I will turn and face fears path, and only I will remain. “ – Paul Atreides
hmmm….odd – I will always see the actor who played Paul – Kyle MacLachlan – not as the Messiah of Dune – but as Sex in the City’s Trey…..the man Charlotte married and who couldn’t get it up for his wife……
other surreal items….I just faxed in my housing application for Grad School….good grief! It feels more real than ever. In two months – I’m leaving everything and everyone I know, behind, and taking off for the big bad Windy City. It’s exciting to start over – without the baggage. But it’s also kinda scary to start over, without familar faces. My life is so comfortable right now – a relatively stable job to pay the bills, hankido to stay in shape, radio work to stay in touch with my love of journalism. But I also feel that it’s not enough. It’s not worth having any career – just to pay the bills. I am resenting how it’s holding me back from so many things.
