Month: April 2001

not much time for writing today. I wish I could’ve been outside. the sun is shining like mad.

I feel buzzed from too many jellybeans. gotta love easter.

another day, more logs. I did end up having a good idea for redoing that exercise, tho now the thought of doing it at all fills me with forboding. 😛

but I do love the rigor of these exercises. we are working from Steering the Craft, by Ursula LeGuin, which focuses on the use of language and the mechanics of storytelling. sounds much drier than it is.

ugh. I just lost a lovely long post – the exercise that I was working on for Thursday – which was also a scene for my novel. serves me right, I guess.

writing from home again. we were entirely without internet at home for a while there – I don’t think I fully realized how lame that was. as much as I love the ultra-fast work connection, it’s nice to sit in my own kitchen and surf, read email, update my web site, etc.

I added some more photos to my album. there’s still no organization to that piece of my site, but at least I’m working on having some stuff there!

this format drives one to write the most utterly banal things: “tonight we had BLT’s for dinner. I toasted my bread, and added monterey jack cheese. the lettuce was not very good, and now my house smells like bacon.” but there it is. it’s sort of a fascinating experience just to be able to write this silliness and then see it on the web – and I will say that I’m fascinated by other weblogs that I’ve read. I dream of someone I don’t know reading these trivial ramblings.

sometimes I get logged out of my web server….

ugh. the weather looks generally nasty – and I am wrangling javascript. I’ve never quite understood it all the way – so I always get bogged down when I try to figure things out myself. maybe I will go looking for some free script…..

and it’s still raining.

I walked down the hall shoeless – no one noticed.

random moment of blogging. still raining. feeling a little buzzed from sharpie ink (on a box in my office) and jelly beans. I need to pee, but don’t want to put on my boots to go down the hall. (this is a reason to miss UWPC – no one would blink an eye if I walked to the bathroom in my stocking feet.)

the most useless feature of my office are the cupboards – why did they do that?! I’d rather have a bookshelf, and put the extra desk under the window. bleh.

mom sent chocolate for Easter – thanks, mom! (I think mom needs her own web page – or maybe not.) the rain is really coming down, which is a good thing. I lived through drought once, I’d like to not do it again.
