BLOGGING: Links

Posted on December 5, 2003 by Susan

I’ve added more links, and moved some around–such as The Word Foundry, out of Veeery Interesting and where it truly belonged, in Literature & Writing as it is much more than a weblog. If perchance in my fumbling around I … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING: Urgency

Posted on December 5, 2003 by Susan

STORIES: Holey Souls

Posted on December 5, 2003 by Susan

I was a late bloomer and didn’t start smoking until I was twenty-five, but back then it was still a cool thing to do. As hard as I tried, I couldn’t blow smoke rings, but figured out a way to … Continue reading → Continue reading →

TECHNOLOGY: Computer Guts

Posted on December 4, 2003 by Susan

Sometimes I enjoy working with my hands more than my mind, and maybe it’s just to give the top half of me a break. On Monday I worked a couple hours at a daycare center in Bridgeport adding memory ram, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

BLOGGING: Prolificality

Posted on December 4, 2003 by Susan

Well this entry marks my two hundred and fifty-first post to Spinning (not counting the thirty-five or so that I’ve wisely deleted as useless whining) and also the two-month anniversary of this weblog. Is that prolific or what? Although I’ve … Continue reading → Continue reading →

REALITY?: To be Announced

Posted on December 3, 2003 by Susan
