Most faithful mirror

Still feeling out-of-sorts.  Like I'm recovering from karmic flu.  Improving, though.  Trajectory is always what counts the most.
The first time I watched Castle in the Sky was when I was living out in Wenatchee.  I loved it so much.  Somewhere inside me is a deep yearning for the sky.  I got out my sketch notebook and designed a house that could be suspended from a balloon.  I calculated the volume of the balloon to lift the amount of weight and everything.  Designed it to be almost self-sufficient, with solar power and water recycling... you could lower it down and go fishing, or use the fish to fish for birds... I thought it would be a neat project for a university.  Semester a-sky.
