REALITY?: On Why One Should Always Be On Good Terms With One’s Spouse
For seemingly trivial things that one has come to depend upon, one should maintain good and friendly relations at all times. I picked up a supposedly falsely set-off mousetrap and a head fell out. What do I do now?

LITERATURE: A Sign of The Times
This article in the The Chronicle Review on Poets’ Puffery is just too funny and maybe too sadly true. Worse however, it seems to extend beyond poetry and literature to all areas of man’s life and accomplishments. I particularly liked … Continue reading
WRITING: Publishing
Of all I’ve written, of anything I’ve had published, nothing has meant as much as seeing a poem written for a friend appreciated by his family and printed up on memory cards at his service.
POETRY: Mating of Matter
Bad relationships are made of opposites of nature The way the sun smiles shining on an ice crystal Who sparkles with reflected love but soon weeps And lost in Sun’s embrace, disappears.
NEW MEDIA & SOCIAL NETWORKING: Memes and Such
Susan doesn’t do memes and lists and when tagged, refuses to be “it.” She isn’t antisocial exactly, nor necessarily dull and vague as a banana. She’s had threescore and one year behind her so there’s some experience from which to … Continue reading

LITERATURE: Up next – The Unconsoled
While it’s bound to take me a long time to read a 500-page book right now, when I’m playing in writing something hypertextual and learning the structure and structuring, I’ve had a copy of this Kazuo Ishiguro novel in first … Continue reading
LITERATURE: Wide Sargasso Sea – Finale
The first thing I’d point out is that Miss Rhys is very likely one of the first to present a classic novel that can possibly be considered fanfic. The first time it hit me was with the name of Grace … Continue reading

WRITING: And it’s Fulfillment
So proud of Josh and Kas over at Grail Quest who have made an announcement that shows all their hard work and talent is paying off.
REALITY?: Where am I?
Mainly here, at Hypercompendia’s with A Bottle of Beer, writing a css stylesheet (or rather, learning how) so that I can produce my hypertext writing online. But I have finished Wide Sargasso Sea and will update with a post on … Continue reading
CURRENT AFFAIRS: It takes a certain panache…
And, balls: “Because of what we did, 95% of all working families will get a tax cut — in keeping with a promise I made on the campaign. And I’m pleased to announce that this morning, the Treasury Department began … Continue reading
POETRY & REALITY?: For Bob
Strange, for all the times you watched the sky cut by the flame of engines driving rockets into space; Worried, since you had a hand in it, and the men who sat within depended on you to make them fly, … Continue reading
CURRENT AFFAIRS: Mortgage? What Mortgage?
No matter what the scenario, good or bad, there will always be those who exploit it, and it’s not the usual suspects this time: From MSNBC, “New Foreclosure Defense: Prove I Owe You” ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. – Kathy Lovelace lost her … Continue reading

LITERATURE: Wide Sargasso Sea – More Symbolism
I’m going to go ahead and call the “looking glass” image a symbol rather than metaphor. It becomes clearer when Antoinette’s husband uses the mirror to watch a confrontation between his wife and a servant who obviously harbors prejudicial hatred … Continue reading

POETRY: Wherefrom comes love?
Wherefrom comes love? On ballerina satin toes or earthy lumberjack boots dazzling as the snowflake on a sunny day or heated up to blaze the forest black; However is an answer but the question still: Wherefrom comes love?
LITERATURE: Wide Sargasso Sea – Metaphor
As well as leit motif I suspect; the recurrence of a “looking glass,” a mirror. In this section of the narrative, the point of view has remained as first person, but the narrator has changed to be the narrator’s husband. … Continue reading
