REALITY: Paths

Posted on May 4, 2005 by Susan

This is the “test” post I was trying to put up. The image is messed up since it went through many paths to get from program to program, computer to computer, to end up here. Interesting…a path for a path.

WRITING: Motive

Posted on May 4, 2005 by Susan

This well may be why writers write: to say the things inside your mind out loud and have it hailed as vivid imagination. Oh, how clever!  I’d have never thought of that! Nor would you want to live it on … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Shaking Free

Posted on May 4, 2005 by Susan

The bush beside my door is squeaking–maybe baby cardinals I think.  I picture them all snuggled in the warmth, awaiting the week when they will fly away.  Wrapped in my nest of robe I want to shake it free as … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Telepathy

Posted on May 4, 2005 by Susan

Sat on the back step this morning watching a Red-tailed Hawk watching me. I tried to think my way inside his head, wondering where I’d fly if I could transfer myself, my soul, into his feathers. He sat there on … Continue reading → Continue reading →

TECHNOLOGY: Laptop Cooler

Posted on May 3, 2005 by Susan

A bit ago I mentioned that I wished someone would invent a gel-cushion or something that could serve as a cooler for both laptop and lap.  I also posted a question to John Walkenbach on the J-Walk blog, and got … Continue reading → Continue reading →

EDUCATION: Down to the Wire

Posted on May 3, 2005 by Susan

History paper turned in before the start of class, made myself a promise that even if I felt insecure once the book was discussed in class I wouldn’t rewrite.  Stuck to my guns; I’d mentioned most of the sections he’d … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: New Morning

Posted on May 3, 2005 by Susan

Rainwashed sky, clean and clear as background for the budding spring.  How long before we paint it red again? Continue reading →

REALITY: Racing Amazon

Posted on May 2, 2005 by Susan

Because I know, once "Still Life" is delivered, my history paper must be history or it will  not be finished.  Nothing has been such a tedious job as this particular essay on "Goodbye To All That."  The book was tedious, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Movement

Posted on May 2, 2005 by Susan

Sudden bursts of energy, as if semester’s end were a beginning and it’s no more than a step along the way.  So why? Ah yes, the deadline of it all. Continue reading →

REALITY: Nature

Posted on May 1, 2005 by Susan

Watching PBS, Strange Days on Planet Earth.  Learning about what’s happening by studying the frogs.  A male leopard frog found with eggs in his testes.  More anomalies.  Although I am not crazy about things that leap, it brings strong memories … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: Redirecting Aggressive Tendencies

Posted on May 1, 2005 by Susan

Thanks to Anne at Fishbucket for reminding me about Sodaplay. Mellow mood makes for gentle play and pondering the technical intricacies. The meanies make for flipping spiders on their backs and twisting children in their swings. Continue reading →

EDUCATION: Essay Requirements

Posted on May 1, 2005 by Susan

Still plodding through a history paper word by painful word.  Fact, no fiction here allowed.  Can’t colorize World War I–it would be a sacrilege and automatic F, offensive to a learned professor’s sensibilities. I cannot be, I know, a journalist.  … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Spring

Posted on May 1, 2005 by Susan

May day grey day, buds swelling green and lilacs lavendar.  No competition from a blue, blue sky as streaks of spring are painted on the earth. Good.  Some poetics, some sense of imagery is coming back to me. Continue reading →

WRITING: Self Publishing

Posted on April 30, 2005 by Susan

David St. Lawrence of Ripples has kindly left an informative and encouraging comment on my post below, and until my history paper’s done, I’ll be unable to respond adequately or even begin to read his series on self-publishing that I’ve … Continue reading → Continue reading →
