REALITY: The Board Game

Posted on October 4, 2004 by Susan

Dark to dark, daylight only lighting the course to run. Bed to bed, resting in between the movie of the day. On the lam, escaping from the past, the seconds, minutes hours that fall behind as we plunge ahead into … Continue reading → Continue reading →

BLOGGING: Time and Space

Posted on October 3, 2004 by Susan

Today is my 365th day of blogging with Typepad (I started with Blogspot, but just stayed a week or two) and if I find five more things worth blogging about without resorting to silly ass fillers, I can claim 1200 … Continue reading → Continue reading →

CURRENT AFFAIRS: Political Policies

Posted on October 3, 2004 by Susan

I am a stubborn one, and must often remind myself to keep an open mind on matters of principle or policy. But goodness me, it seems that I agree with more of Senator Kerry’s stands on issues than with President … Continue reading → Continue reading →

EDUCATION: The Boring Parts

Posted on October 3, 2004 by Susan

It’s two a.m. and it’s like the perfect time to get some homework done. But honestly, Binomial and Poisson Probability Tables are just not doing it for me. And frankly, the New Media assigned readings–or at least the one I … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Laws

Posted on October 3, 2004 by Susan

I couldn’t really tell you which political platform favors the making of unnecessary laws, the conservatives with their Dudley Do-right attitudes or the liberals with their cover every tiny little detail mentality, or in fact, which is truly more responsible … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Draggin’

Posted on October 2, 2004 by Susan

Tired, hungry, sulky. Husband points out that I’m old and grouchy. Can’t imagine how he thinks this will improve the situation. Continue reading →

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Interactive Bummers

Posted on October 2, 2004 by Susan

Man, I was so excited. I jumped up and down. Almost kissed the postman. (I may be older than him, but he’s no prize, either.) “The Sims 2” came in the mail today. I was gonna run and play with … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Personality Conflicts

Posted on October 2, 2004 by Susan

I had a really lovely post written this morning, all about drippy leaves and grumpy bushes waiting for laser sunbeams. I lost it. It is irretrievable because I have passed on to my professional susie framer mode, and as such, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Mood Spin

Posted on October 1, 2004 by Susan

Hard day. Mentally jarring day. Feel like I’m coming down off a Rocky Mountain high. Too much too do. Too much to think about. Too much, yet not enough. Wish I were one to budget time. But time means little, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Connections

Posted on October 1, 2004 by Susan

There is no doubt that I have strong ties to the earth. In looking out this morning, I see neglect in gardens gone wild because they were not tended to this past spring. I remember the same guilt and despair … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: The American Illusion

Posted on September 30, 2004 by Susan

Panning in, in black and white, touching tree tops as we seek out the story. At long last, there it is: a man on a bridge, about to be hung. But remediation allows for afterthought, and this is where I … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: How Do I Love Thee?

Posted on September 30, 2004 by Susan

So many different ways. Yesterday’s class focused on one story, Ambrose Bierce’s “Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.” Text versus movie. Ensuing discussion of sequence and presentation in comparison and contrast. How key plot points were manipulated–how they can be and … Continue reading → Continue reading →

CURRENT AFFAIRS: Balloons and Speeches

Posted on September 29, 2004 by Susan

Yippy-I-O-Ky-Ay. I get Bill’s first post operative speech for a birthday present. Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: Growth in Learning Process

Posted on September 29, 2004 by Susan

That’s not to say the process of growth in learning–although it means that as well–but more the growing in learning the process. I’m learning, for example, why writers and actors, normally on the more creative end of things, often gravitate … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY: Mix & Match

Posted on September 29, 2004 by Susan

This evening I realized how many paths we walk on a daily basis, and yet how they meet and cross as in a maze. My life is a balancing act of extremes in thought process, yet one can be applied … Continue reading → Continue reading →
