Description(if above 89):I managed to contribute to the historical discussion, and also worked a great deal on parsing MSND. I'm already beginning to get a better feel for who Lysander is.

Monks must lead very interesting lives. Or rather, how little they have to make their lives interesting. They mostly fit most of the prerequisites for being in solitary, and for resorting to their internal body clock. So, by all accounts, they should be going insane and working in 30 hour cycles. But they don't. They spend their lives writing, and meditating, and all of that. And I have not the slightest clue how they manage it. How do you spend your days copying texts, and being completely calm? How do they keep it from becoming boring? Or how do they deal with the boredom? I mean, I know there are other things they do, but some of those things are purely geographical. Like, only some groups do it. I dunno. I could go on for hours, and it would all sound the same.

Is that....An igloo?

I wonder how much inspiration has occurred out of sheer boredom. Or exhaustion. Or even whole art forms. Who seriously thought, "Ooh, look! That looks slightly smaller at the edges! That's absolutely awesome! I'll scratch the image onto a bit of tree that has been shaved impossibly thin and flat! With a rock! I'll call it perspective!" It's really very silly. Maybe I oughta be bored more often? Nah. I get more, though maybe a bit less innovative, stuff when entertained. Mrh.
