At home in Thailand we do something similar. At home, we make rice and top it with whatever we didn't finish from the last meal.

Gleanings from what I posted on the Tenth.

I do need a new body. Maybe the worms will feast on this old one... considering how ornery I can be... maybe not. I really enjoyed Steven's work, "Invalid ItemOpen in new Window.. As a page turner, it's best read in one setting.

To s (Steven): "Chapter 4: Silence of the Lambs? Someone needed/wanted a new skin? I just want a new body or at least the parts back that I've lost (they can keep the appendix).

By now I've gotten into the rhythm of your verbosity.

The pacing... that last line... a very good hook.

Do all of your chapters have hooks? If so it works a bit like a nineteenth century penny-dreadful. Strong technique."


Ah... the "golden child" turned out to be FeS2, iron disulfide, pyrite, fool's gold.

To tracker (Tracker): "My mother became a mother when she had me. I was #2 as she had a miscarriage. I named him Jeremy... because he had no name and no one to mourn him. I was the only son, the golden child, the misfit, the...


Gleanings from the Eighth:

I don't do well feeling rushed. Deadlines created stress for me as a child and because I handed things in late I became accustomed to having A's become B's. As an adult I don't suffer nitpickers well as perfectionists destroy creativity and I'm too artistic (and maybe a tad autistic), and definitely too old to put up with that ____.

I'd much rather sit with this moment that Judith describes. We're from the same region so it takes very little imagination to go there. I just think of drives, of friends and cousins... and I'm there. I really miss that place and time.


To Apondia (Judith): "Thank you. Lovely pastoral vignette.

By-the-way... I find these interludes important and sometimes lacking in fiction where they can provide setting and ambiance. This would be a nice first chapter to a horror story (contrast can work wonders).

In-real-life, too many people rush when it isn't necessary. Winter's a good case study. Roads not plowed = going nowhere. What gets done gets done. When everything's done one bakes or reads.

Spring however, has always been my favorite season for doing something after being cooped up all winter. Springs came late along the Great Lakes and then hurried in a gush of leaf-green and pollen. I loved the smell of freshly mown grass. Usually in May. Today they whacked and mowed the lawns at the condo here at Lumpini in Udon Thani. Big piles of green, the myna birds searching the short grass.

To live in the North, a place of 4 seasons, one must find the beauty at each time of year. I've settled into the boring routines of the two-season tropics. It's the 1st part of the rainy season when I welcome the downpours that sweep away the trash and cleanse the air. I'm sitting in a covered area watching butterflies and birds. There's musack playing and workers sweeping, but at 10:46 I have the seating area to myself.

Basically... I see someone now and the birds... no frogs or toads at the moment. Where are they when needed to get rid of the pesky flies?"


I have to keep grounded by use of my senses. I'm definitely peculiar at times though. I'm best described as eclectic, anti-violence and world-embracing. I was "semi-woke" long before GenZ's parents were born. But I'm more "woke" now.


To Beholden: "Algorithms will dumb us down. I do search for odd things sometimes. Popular vs Peculiar = I was more peculiar. That helps me at times. As does the 'interested in everything'.

Even with the news... I check out the 'enemy' occasionally. Recently, I found out about the dam by Kherson on a weather/climate channel. Nothing on MSN, so I went to Al Jezeera. Now? It's a concern but only in the sense of devastation and possible war escalation. Americans love to watch violence of various ilks.

On youtube I watch The Voice, Thai BL series, Thai language instructions, random music but specifically Dimash."
