Strangest part was I found r_houghton's acct there. And it's locked. Presumably Forever.

This is a test from my Blackberry. This is fantastic; I can SMS all my thoughts right from here.

Neat.

Rorschach

Makes notes. Short sentences. Expresses his ideas in a pattern that doesn't take a lot of purple prose. No predicates.

Dangling participles. If I could remember what a dangling participle is. Working for a company that deals in visual media has

Ouch

Carl came
And it was the same thing
A night of fun
A morning of pain
Nothing learned
All the same
Changed our age
But not our ways
Once a year
A retrograde

Easter (or the Spring Harvest)

Whatever your preference. Judeo-Christian history says Christ died today for your sins. Pagans believe this is the spring harvest and should be thankful to, I believe without cracking open Google, Gaia. That could be wrong.

Meh. Colored some eggs for the sake of fun with the kiddo, but my inner theologist was screaming at the hypocrisy. To quote Lewis Black: "Jesus died for our sins... Quick, hide all the eggs!"

Opus

I have to start writing again. I have to start working out the mental muscles, the dialogue patterns; the non-descript desire to have run-on sentences. I've been listening to dialogue patterns people are using to determine rhythms in writing. I need to pick up another book and really knock the dust off my pen and penmanship. I can catalogue digitally, but I can't find myself using a word processor to write my opus.

The very problem is pretty easy to describe but most unfortunate to figure out: What is my opus? Which story? Genesis? Experimental 7? Juggle? Teeth?

Quandry.
