day thirty: so, that’s over (random question of the day)
Well, here we are at the last day of November. I don’t know about you, but it seems to me like this month went by very quickly. Thanks again to everyone who asked a question — that really helped make the daily posting easier, and I ended up writing about stuff that I had no … Continue reading
day twenty nine: fun with keywords
Oh, people who search for things on the internet, you are so interesting. Case in point: where are a woman’s “loins” Nice use of quotation marks, friend. yosemite sam One day during my childhood — I don’t know exactly how old I was here, but I think maybe I was 2 — I decided to … Continue reading
day twenty eight: some thoughts about music
I was driving home the other day, and I was listening to the radio and the Pearl Jam song “Black” came on, and I was sort of listening to it, but mostly I was preoccupied with merging onto a road in the middle of a construction zone and not getting run over by a semi. … Continue reading
day twenty seven: on self-portraiture
From Arvind K: Discuss/comment on following : Photography deals exquisitely with appearances, but nothing is what it appears to be. – Duane Michals There are a lot of ways to come at this quotation.

Stacy Lynn Sprouse, January 9, 1981 – November 23, 2005 It’s been four years. So many things are different now, but one thing stays the same: I still miss that girl, but as ever, I am thankful that she was a part of my life. This anniversary is always a hard one for me, bringing … Continue reading
day twenty two: lies!
I am not a fan of acronyms in general. I don’t like them. They make things seem unnecessarily jargony, and I am definitely not a fan of jargon. I am especially not a fan of many of the acronyms that have sprung into life thanks to the internet, though some I’m more willing to put … Continue reading
day twenty one: one of those non-posts
Today is a writing day, but that writing isn’t going to happen here. I still have this book I’m trying to write, see, and I don’t get time to work on it much lately, what with having an actual job now and all, so now that today is a day off and I have an … Continue reading
