I can tolerate Friday and Sunday.

No Saturday! Yuck! Boo!
I'm in a reflective mood today, and in the twisted recesses of my consciousness, your comment generated a question which led to this question: If you were a Buddhist "Tara" facing Saturday, which one would you be? (There are more in the Wikipedia link). This may, of course, have nothing to do with you ;)
  1. Green Tārā, with one head and two arms, who resides at the center of the mandala. One hand makes the gesture of granting boons (varada) and the other hand holds a blue utpala flower.
  2. Dark blue Tārā is found in the eastern quarter of the mandala. She is a youth who holds a trident and an uptala flower.
  3. Gold Tārā is found in the southern quarter of the mandala. She holds a sword and an utpala flower.
  4. Red Tārā is found in the western quarter of the mandala. She holds a wheel and an utpala flower.
  5. Green Tārā in the northern quarter of the mandala. She holds a parasol and an utpala flower.
  6. Hook Tārā in the eastern gate of the mandala. She is white, wrathful, and carries a hook in each hand.
  7. Lasso Tārā in the southern gate of the mandala. She is yellow, wrathful, and carries a lasso in each hand.
  8. Shackles Tārā in the western gate, red skinned, wrathful, holding shackles.
  9. Bell Tārā in the northern gate, blue-green colored, wrathful, holding a bell in each hand.

The Bell Tara for me. Full of wrath for Saturday, though with an unconventional weapon. My hair is blue, with places where its faded to green.

How about you? Which Tara are you?

I can't wait for tomorrow. I'm gonna get back on making beats. I already made one, but had to pause to give myself some time to think of a way to preserve what I wrote as it was made one my Bass Station 2 synth, so while I only press two keys and let the arpeggiator take care of the rest it's all those damn settings to remember, including the exact tempo which isn't saved to the patches.
What do I do? Just record several minutes of it directly to my computer while bitting the bullet and going through the task of writing down each setting. I'd do without the writing but some songs I want an album version and live version of so I need to have the exact for some reworkings.

Set up a WPS as a client device. Neat. Wireless to ethernet. I don't think regular ol' home routers can do that trick usually. Maybe some can.
