Ангелы и демоны кружили надо мной

Well, this is my first LJ post. I had a Radio account, but it didn't get much use. LJ actually supports Unicode, and now that I'm getting a job together, maybe I'll be disennuid (is that a word?) enough to post some.

Has anyone figured out what the lyrics to "Inner Universe" actually mean? I'm thinking it's some sort of allegory.

(In case anyone hasn't heard it yet:)

“Inner Universe” (TV size)
Composer: 菅野よう子 (Kanno Yōko)
Lyrics: Origa/Shanti Snyder
Vocals: Origa

Ангелы и демоны кружили надо мной
Рассекали тернии и млечные пути
Не энают счастья от того
Кто его энал, тот дать не мог
Налюбуйтесь, налюбуйтесь
Æria gloris, æria gloris
Налюбуйтесь, налюбуйтесь
Æria gloris, æria gloris

I am called, called at night, spirits rising, calling
С тобой остаться дольше
calling falling если меня помнишь
С тобой останусь дольше
Не воднуйтесь, æria gloris

火事だ！

And so it begins...

Today must be LiveJournal setup day -- everyone's doing it.

Kanno Yōko is the Lord your God. The Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex soundtrack is coming out on January 22^nd; it's mine. The catalog number will be VICL-61051. (Information from Yoko Kanno News Page.)

The mandatory modifier

Today's fortune cookie:

☺Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause.☺

Makes completely no sense with the modifier -- and the modifier isn't optional.

lordrichard: I'm using iJournal. Needs some work, but it's a decent lightweight client. Wish it wouldn't escape out all the Unicode, though.

Today's after-dinner project: Read some more of Howard Aiken: Portrait of a Computer Pioneer. Interesting book, and I'm going to have to pick up the companion volume (which includes Aiken's original proposal for Mark I, an essay by RADM Grace Hopper, and lots of other nifty things) as well. And then I need to buy the second edition of CLR...
