why is this lizard smiling?
I haven’t a clue, but isn’t it cute? I guess it’s a gecko since that is what Paul Anderson calls it in the post I lifted this from.
It’s funny – when I first clicked over to the post from the rss feed, I thought I’d already read it yesterday, so moved on. Then I realized that, no, those were OTHER lizards I read about yesterday, but it’s so rare that I read about lizards – of any sort – that it just didn’t seem likely they would show up two days in a row.
They did sneak in, though, as lizards are wont to do.
To top that, the lizards of yesterday were written about by Murr Brewster, whose site I was wandering though after following a link to it (she’s pretty funny).
But beyond the coincidence of the lizards, how often do you come across someone named “Murr”? If you’re me… never, until about a month ago. And since then, three! Well, one (also a writer/podcaster) spells it Mur, but still. The third I read about in one of the UK papers because he did something or other, or something happened to him, but I do not believe it had anything to do with writing. I could be wrong.
Sometimes (like this morning!) when visiting someone’s professional site – usually people I don’t know at all – I have to stop myself leaving little suggestions… “If you put this there, and then that over there, and have THIS as your focal point, it’ll be more effective and draw the reader in” or some such thing. For one thing, I’m not in that business anymore – marketing, branding, design, so on – so probably I wouldn’t know what I was talking about anyway. But also, well who wants to hear from perfect strangers.
I’m fairly certain that my color blast here likely will offend the sensibilities (not to mention the eyeballs) of at least a random visitor or two, but oh well! This suits me here. On the other hand Book of Louis, my history/whatever site, is bland as can be. And that suits me there.
So, unless people ask (and why would they?), I refrain. Most times.
