A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
If I'm wrong correct me: "We call many indigenous people by names that were given to them by others. Navajo, Cherokee, Seneca and Crow come to mind. Afrika isn't a shithole country. Genetically, Afrikans may be more diverse than the rest of the world combined. I see tourists with water bottles ... as if the word potable means nothing. If the water is drinkable then a fancy imported bottle of water is merely a status symbol. Same with food. Dear Americans, if the US had the water and culinary standards of Japan, I wouldn't have to explain this to you." So I commented in Robert's blog. 43 degrees at 39 minutes after midnight. I'm leaving the window partially open. May get very windy later in the day. Gonna air this place out! I worked on some contests. I wasn't going to but the words just flowed. What I wrote wasn't too bad. Edit. Submit. Let others judge. 60 degrees and very windy at 12:45 p.m. Storms tonight? Had to close the window as having things inside blow about isn't good imho. Asterism (⁂) Death throes of human artifacts. Neva is providing me with prompts. I wrote in Brian's blog: "I number poems and pieces of prose that no one will ever read. Even I, having never edited some, may never read them again. I scribble or carefully, almost like calligraphy, write in my journal, a 5 thousand page letter to a friend... It marks my passage." 63 degrees at 6. A letter delivered to my door on Sunday! From Jacob, a former neighbor. A half loaf of cranberry bread from Le Petit, a gift from Bri. Still breezy. Blow me away at 8 I told Elle, "I'm just checking in after perusing this book-length entry. I do think that this allows for comments better than if it were a separate item; although, I think you should do that as well. Each part could be expanded into a chapter. I saw that you didn't read about Pern! Oh my... one of my favorites. I do get the 'not going along with what everyone else was reading' comment. I teethed on Ibsen rather than Shakespeare, was raised with Japanese and French ideas rather than Hollywood. I suspect that that's one reason why what I write doesn't connect with many at WDC. It's not Americana, either historical nor present. My aesthetic is more Nordic-Bittersweet-Asian and that does not sell here in Missoula nor in WDC." 4,192 |
