Serenity… an expedition

Well, that’s not really true, the blank mind* part. Rather there is so much tumbling around in my brain that I think it’s created a bottle neck. I wish I could figure out a way out of that. Not that I can’t just sit down and yammer on – obviously I can. But when it [...]

I had a whole day almost to myself today. What a change! And what a necessity.
Of the so many things I have to do, I actually did very few of them. Or, rather, halves of everything. Half the laundry done (washed and folded, but not put away), half the kitchen cleaned (floors, counters, dishes but [...]

I was doing so well there for a bit, too. Watching both the first season and the… fifth? whatever the last season was, together, figuring I could meet the story in the middle and somehow figure out what was going on. Kinda weird seeing characters as ghosts or something first, then going back and finding [...]

I saw a bloodhound the other day. Dang, are those things big.
I guess I’d never seen one in person before, though I could have sworn I had. Droopy eyed,  loose-limbed pleasant and fairly harmless looking creatures, in my imagination (or possibly from cartoons or book descriptions). And some may indeed fit that description.
Not this one. [...]

I’ve been looking at quotations. Phrases and thoughts disconnected from their original settings and placed in isolation – or rather, a sea of isolation as they space with thousands and thousands of other fragments of related, but not connecting, phrases. How do they decide what goes in, I wonder.
Most sources quoted are, of course, from [...]

I was looking through random photos to try and get some sort of inspiration for writing, when I came across this one from maiscio’s flikr photostream and was, of course, charmed.
A doe eyed, seemingly tame deer and a tostle headed young man sitting companionably on the sidewalk – who could resist? Also, what the heck? [...]

I’ve read all the books I got from the library the other day, save one. No great feat – I only got four in the first place because, even with the small selection they had, I had a tough time seeing the books. The titles or the author names or anything. I do wear glasses [...]

Whatever was working the past 2 weeks isn’t working very well now. I really have nothing to say – but I have to say something anyway – I have 16 whole days done, can’t give up now on my little red boxes now.
I should set a 9pm deadline for writing so that, for one thing, [...]

Across the street, anyway. No more than 5 minutes away.
I finally went and got my library card today – a quick and painless process. I was right about them not having much selection; it’s just an itty  bitty place and most of their books are large print (because they cater to seniors). I don’t much [...]

It’s a good thing that I’m a fast typist, if not yet a fast writer. It’s 11:40 pm.
I can’t really even say I’ve written anything today (outside of my head) because while I’ve started a couple of times to put something down, I never got past the first paragraph. It’s frustrating, no? When you know [...]
