Posted on April 3, 2004 by Susan

REALITY?: Really.

Posted on April 1, 2004 by Susan

I have run out of words. Thought I had them stocked up, but must have been using them faster than I thought. I even looked downstairs in the cellar, thinking that maybe I put them away in a box somewhere. … Continue reading → Continue reading →

LITERATURE: New Link

Posted on March 30, 2004 by Susan

I am a terrible person, and a failure as a woman. But I’m stealing a link off of a blogger I just met, and holding supper off from a hungry husband to do it because it’s great. So, thanks to … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY?: Borders

Posted on March 30, 2004 by Susan

Just realized that my mind is filled with borders today. 1. The obvious 2 pixel black borders I need separating the columns, but obviously here –> 2. The border between life and death. On Friday night I fell asleep on … Continue reading → Continue reading →

TECHNOLOGY: Codes

Posted on March 30, 2004 by Susan
