Ground control to major Tom
Jan. 6th, 2006 04:08 pmIf you explore space, you should really have better things to report than:
a) The vastness of space and how people starve and choke in space (because really, everyone knows this already, and besides, you only report this because currently you are a somewhat lonely and isolated person, and when you actually start to reach beyond your space shuttle, you'll have more diverse and adorned facts to report.)
b) The good food you have in space, and how it tastes better than on earth. Please, everyone knows that food tastes great in space and in an isolated area of space specifically, fact of common life.
And yes, the bus drivers are nicer too.
And hey major Tom, if you actually want to BE a major, why don't you shit out that thesis about the difference between Space Archives and Earth Archives for us to print. SHIT IT OUT IN WHATEVER WAY OR FORM, BUT DO IT. This is your chance, you get some time and means to do this by your very own desk, if you don't, then that's it.
So..Tom's gonna have her shuttle in orbit for two more months (until the end of February), and Tom started a poem about the Space Archives, calling it : The land, it's eye, the Archive, the Iris.
Yes, Tom is doomed as a poet, subordinate to such works as Archives and the Public Good by Cox&Wallace.
Fortunately, the Space Archives gave Tom the BEST letter of recommendation ever, wherein Tom is the grandest thing since sliced bread. Words such as "Intelligent&Insightful", "very valuable", "team player", "thorough&effective&independent" where used.
And Tom will dwell at the archives of Space for a little bit longer, to go through microfilm and transcribe interviews, but after that, HOPEFULLY Tom will be a MAJOR Tom and give a better report on Space and the continuum et al.
Little shards of sparkly shiny in the world of Tom's shuttle:
Tom has occasional sex with another person than herself. GOOD sex actually.
Tom writes her post-it notes on the backsides of Edward Gorey calendar pages
Tom got a package from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
striver, a box FULL of fabulous jewelry and trinkets, so that when Tom maybe gives birth to a girl one day, they can play PRINCESS and SERVANT GIRL (best game ever!) together and talk about the grandiose generosity of their friend and benefactor striver.
Tom got another CHANCE, and Tom's professor really thinks Tom's work is of substantial interest to the archivists of mundane earth.
Tom got a memory card to an old digital camera as a Christmas gift, and as soon as this corresponds with Tom's laptop, she will post PICTURES of trinkets and Prairie dogs!
Soon Tom might receive a package from earth, with cod roe, canned fish, ginger snaps, licorice and maybe books in the old language.
Well, maybe Tom will put on her space-suit now and take a walk among the craters of some distant moon, and when Tom comes back, she will not be part of some old David Bowie song anymore.
