She's baaaaack!

Yesterday's blog was cancelled due to lack of interest. Let's face it, without Navy, Pink and Red, Dotland can be depressing. But there's nothing like a meeting with the Black Dot Queen to get the adrenaline flowing. Between the lies, the whines, the justifications, and the high-speed backpedaling, the Black Queen infused the Dots with energy, well, actually, fury. In today's meeting, the White Queen was, as always, charming, attentive and credible. The Black Dot Queen was the opposite. Her Blackness was late which is not the same as the late Black Queen, so don't get your hopes up. When she arrived she was obviously still under the White Queen's Sit-Down-And-Shut-Up spell. She confined her remarks to short denials, justifications and whines. At the conclusion of the meeting the White Queen left. The Black Queen was kept after for tardiness. The Dots tried to talk to Her Blackness about THE FUTURE.
The Black Queen "I had a Road Map to the Future, a really good Road Map, but one of my secretaries left and took part of the map with her."
Dots "Can you show us what's left?"
BQ "My Map went through Density, but someone (no names, but she looked hard at Silver) threw a wrench at it and tore it."
Dots "Can you show us the torn Map?"
BQ "No, because it's not complete."
Dots "Well, can you tell us, sort of, in general, in manner or speaking, hypothetically, what was at the end of the road on your Map."
BQ "No".
Silver had been hoping for at least a general sort of statement like the closing to "Raising Arizona" where HI McDonnough (Nicholas Cage) describes his dream
And it seemed real. It seemed like us. And it seemed like, well... Our home... If not Arizona, then a land, not too far away, where all parents are strong and wise and capable, and all children are happy and beloved... I dunno, maybe it was Utah. (From Wikipedia) However, the Black Queen was to tricky to commit to anything like a positive vision of the future.
The Black Dot Queen has always claimed to be a "big picture" person. I think we are now finding out that her big picture is nicely matted and framed but unfortunately empty.
Although Indigo thinks the Black Queen's big picture is more like a Jackson Pollock, full of dribbles and black spatters.
The RightSizing of Dotland was discussed in the meeting. The White Queen might be able protect the Dots from the Sword of Rightsizing. Here are some words related to Rightsizing. Dumbsizing which is what the Black Queen did to Dotland. Dumbsizing is followed immediately by Capsizing which is what is happening to the Duchy. If the Black Queen won't even show us her road map why is the rest of the Duchy following it off the cliff? A final word of the day is Uninstalled. The software package, Black Dot Queen 1.0 is obviously incompatible with School Librarian 2006 and Dotland 2006. Black Dot Queen 1.0 needs to be Uninstalled and replaced with Library Coordinator 2006 which should be compatible with current versions of School Librarian and Dotland. (Note: Manual for School Librarian 2006 is not available online. You'll have to make do with School Librarian 2001)
