I am cold. I am pensive. I like fonts. I am wondering how it got to be Friday.
On Random Songs On The Mind
On the train this morning, apropos of nothing, a song affixed itself in my head. Magic and mystery Are part of their history, Along with the secret Of gummi berry juice. The magic is growing, They take pride in knowing They fight for what’s right In whatever they do! Gummi Bears! Bouncing here and thereContinue reading “On Random Songs On The Mind”
On Test Driving New Features
For shits and giggles, I downloaded the WordPress 2.7 Release Candidate. I was curious, first, what it would look like “under the hood.” I knew they were putting together a new user interface, and I wondered what that looked like. I knew they were planning some new features, and I was curious about those, too.Continue reading “On Test Driving New Features”
On Writing Like The Wind
Today, I must be one with my keyboard. I must write like the wind. Deadlines. They are fun things. And they make such wonderful sounds as they fly by. 😉 First up. Stephen King.
On Getting Home From Work
Most days, getting to and from work is not a problem. Oh, I might miss the connection from subway to light rail by the merest of seconds (like yesterday, where I was five seconds late to get aboard the train), but for the most part, things go smoothly. Except when they don’t. This evening wasContinue reading “On Getting Home From Work”
On the Stairwell Light
In the stairwell that leads upstairs there are two lights, one at the bottom and one at the top. Top and bottom both have lightswitches. The lightswitch at the top is older, and it mades a loud clank! when it’s thrown. The lightswitch at the bottom is newer and, thus, quieter. About a year ago,Continue reading “On the Stairwell Light”
On Structuring Acts
Last night, after a long day of writing and revising an outline, I printed off the work’s status quo and shoved it in my briefcase/bag-thing. It takes about an hour to get to work by subway and train, and there’s time that’s well spent doing something productive. 🙂 As I looked at what I had,Continue reading “On Structuring Acts”
On Putting Words on the Page
I spent the afternoon and evening working on a novel outline. As I am wont to tell people, I need outlines. I flail otherwise. About the longest I can write without an outline is 4k. That 4k is about all I can keep in my head, like an object. Anything longer, and I need atContinue reading “On Putting Words on the Page”
On the Week In Review
My grandmother is down for her second nap of the day. It’s not even 1:30 in the afternoon. She’s been sleeping more of late. She’s also been keeping odd hours, and her perception of light and dark seems to be non-existent. The new television remotes confuse her. There’s one for the television, and one forContinue reading “On the Week In Review”
On Remembering George Harrison
An e-mail yesterday reminded me that, seven years ago today, George Harrison passed away. I wrote to a friend of mine at the time: My favorite Beatle depends as much upon what day of the week it is as it does upon my mood for that day. Some days my Beatles-sense revolves wholly around John,Continue reading “On Remembering George Harrison”
