REALITY?: Jitterbug
Jumpy today, cannot focus. Torn between reading, writing, work and coming up with some idea of dinner. Last couple days of husband’s unemployment. Monday back to the routine–if I can remember what it was; it’s been nine months. How we … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: A Vardaman Day
Like Faulkner’s child, I watch as life can turn on a dime. A lightless flash that lingers in the mind just long enough to catch a sight of tunnels taking off in rays from some such sun that God Himself … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Movin On
Today I went home, most likely for the very last time. We moved in when I was ten years old, in a cold snowy January that had us walking down the hill to the mailbox in unplowed waist-high snow. I … Continue reading

REALITY?: Dark Comes Later
Longer days that start out brighter sooner, darken later. Offers of a different day that follows light and sun ruled time and less of dreams concocted in the mind. Continue reading

REALITY?: Narrative Structure
Not strictly linear, but rather circular and more like connect the dots even. A book whose bookmark has fallen out, and guessed where to replace. Hypertext of disassociated boxes all laid out like puzzle pieces waiting for the strings to … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY? & WRITING: Randomly and Yet in Perfect Plan
My thoughts today, I need to air them all to write them here as in a recent someone’s weblog defending blogging as a voice that can be heard and hearing voices of all that choose to speak, not then, to … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: On the Personal Side
I tend to compartmentalize, rationalize, justify. Bad runs are tagged by years. Strange, even as I try to break the time barrier and the concept of minutes, hours, days, months, and the most important nanosecond in which decision changes the … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Plaid
Seventeen through thirty-three, dressed to the teeth with sheaths and crystal necklaces through the fifteen-inch skirts and six-inch platform shoes. Off to the country then, raising corn and okra, cats and dogs and pigs. Bikinis in the garden, sometimes just … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Place
Right now it looks like we most likely will not be moving to Arizona, and I’ve got mixed emotions on that. While I am a perennial, transplanting held a certain allure. New England is home to me but I felt … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Parallel Universes
Man, dark night is for the focus; morning light brings clarity and reason to expand upon the thoughts. Of course we’re living many lives as one simultaneously; or then again, one live simultaneously moving in different directions. The only problem … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Everybody Loves Raymond
Me included. For some reason this show is on through the prime time, though since I’ve been catching up with it just for the past couple years (never watched it when it was current), I realize how very much I … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Learning Graphics Programs
Ahah! Just found a how-to book on Macromedia StudioMX and another on Dreamweaver amongst my pile of to-be-reads. This naturally tosses Metamagical Themas out the window for now and I’m on to learning something new. Continue reading

REALITY?: Wonderings
What passes for life passes. The golden ring of carousels promises another round, another ride, another chance. A promise is a lie unless by happening it does become reality. What hard head will disbelieve a promise? Continue reading

LTERATURE & REALITY?: Application of Consolation
No surprise, I’m seeking answers from my readings, particularly from Boethius in his Consolation of Philosophy. While I study literature to understand the concepts of good writing just as for the expansion of my rather fenced in vistas and for … Continue reading Continue reading
