REALITY?: Busy Sunny Sunday
Finished Longinus, hit Part 2 of A Clockwork Orange, and read one of the two (!) stories in a 2004 issue of Prairie Schooner. Dumped all the jelly out, rewashed the jars, mixed up a magic pectin potion to rejell … Continue reading Continue reading

LITERATURE: Getting Ready…
…for the Burlington Library Book Sale, and this time, my list is alphabetized by author since the library is good enough to do so besides having them filed on shelves by grouping and topics. I never need wander through the … Continue reading Continue reading

CURRENT AFFAIRS: Slates and Platforms and Records, Oh My!
So armed with the visual on-the-spot (rehearsed) debates, and with Longinus and Plato inadvertantly guiding my opinions of the candidates as speakers and planners, my next step is to go through their websites one more time and elsewhere to check … Continue reading Continue reading

CURRENT AFFAIRS: Senatorial Debate
Watching this debate is bringing some surprises as well as confirming some facts about tonight’s candidates. Something that I realize that I’m using in judging the speakers in the way they speak aside from what they’re saying which is the … Continue reading Continue reading

LITERATURE: Terms
Just found (and added a link to) a "guide to classical and ranaissance rhetoric": The Forest of Rhetoric, a site run by Brigham Young University. It sure helped in reading On The Sublime in seeking out definitions of hyberbaton (sic) … Continue reading Continue reading

Current Affairs: Gubernatorial Debate
Watching the debate for governor, and while I really feel that Connecticut needs some new blood, DeStefano ain’t the key. No matter what question is asked, he gives it as little thought as possible in order to reiterate two points, … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Publishing and Such
I definitely need to update my link lists, recategorize them, and add so many that I’ve found and added to my Bloglines read list but may have neglected to place them here. Usually a complete overhaul happens during January, when … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Did you know…
…that you can’t quit coffee cold turkey? The doctor tells me that you can have withdrawal. So I’m vacillating between changing what I drink in the shop vs. at home, and going decaf first and gradually into Postum, Piro, or … Continue reading Continue reading

LITERATURE: Building
Okay, so here’s how the “To Read” pile looks after a couple of Library Book sales, and unfortunately, just a week or two prior to another. Frankly, I have to proudly say that of all the library sales I’ve been … Continue reading
WRITING: EDITING!!!!!

CURRENT AFFAIRS: Elections
I may as well get the political ravings out now before the stress tests and maybe it’ll prove healthier. What a sad slate of candidates we have here in CT to pick from. Some in-denial Republicans walking around on a … Continue reading Continue reading

For the fourth time in the past two hours, I’ve just hung up on a "small business service" that provides a "free listing" that for some reason needs to go through supervisorary channels though I’ve been assured several times that … Continue reading Continue reading
