Well, it's the second day of November (and therefore also of NaNoWriMo) and I've barely had a chance to think about writing. I'm actually planning to use the thirty-day countdown this year to write draft two of the book I penned in full last November. Not strictly allowed according to the rules, but it's just… Continue reading Brooklynvalley in November

dreams and the waning of october
Lately the dreams have been mental– this whole month, just mad. I think of the twenty twenty-one days passed thus far, I have recorded at least twelve dreams. Unheard of, but I did realize last February or March (whenever it was I decided to begin writing them down again) that the more regularly one keeps… Continue reading dreams and the waning of october
Applecare, again
The tech is back! Superdrive has been ginchy in the ol' iMac. Tech came Wednesday to replace it, but still no dice. Another tech is here today to see whether it needs just a new ribbon cable, or possibly a logic board (although the logic board was just replaced over the summer). It's been jolly… Continue reading Applecare, again
lazy day.
Maps arrived yesterday. (!) Hafto go pick up the other two boxes today. They're kinda heavy. I'll go later. Had dreams this morning involving a very small orange-red hummingbird, a flock of enormous butterflies (much bigger than the largest of birds, their massive wings beating above a vast window-ceilinged room), and a dark, blue-black storm… Continue reading lazy day.
“Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs”
(That one bears repeating, particularly as it came from a SPAM email.) “Find me there and tell me a bit about your dreams. Waiting for your answer” While I'm at it, I'm listening to the National– "We're the heirs to the glimmering world..." "We're half-awake in a fake empire..." (forgot how much I like this… Continue reading “Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs”
Overmuch, and the discipline of writing for clarity.
I feel on the brink of something– oh, but don't I always? [Pardon the sarcasm, but it's difficult to escape, especially with 2 beers in my belly and the onset of Autumn.] Wistful, dear Autumn– most emotional of times. It may be on account of my birthing at this time of year– Dunno. Don't much… Continue reading Overmuch, and the discipline of writing for clarity.
Long Island City Day
a tease, again– bit o' the map for calendar 2010. Remind me to tell you about it the day of wandering and feeling 'away' in Long Island City– map scanned, pub lunch, PS1 and the pool installation... Also– I will post photos from the Rochester trip soon as well as some from the Delaware Water… Continue reading Long Island City Day
It’s wonderfully cool today.
Just for the record. Quite nice. [later : 6 pm] The light is changing. The shadows are long on the buildings across the street already.
inspiring imagery
The top two images were things found via Google image whilst searching for the Two Knights upon One Horse Masonic Seal (in addition to finding several examples of the seal in question, not represented here at all, in fact). The drawing of the knight falling off the horse is fantastic, and I wish I'd noted… Continue reading inspiring imagery
In my dreams this morning…
I had a rickety old pianoforte with no lid (which I painted gold, as my apartment walls were an off shade of turquoise). I had also an elephant, which I subsequently lost (as a character might lose a prop to poor continuity after an edit in a film). There I stood, in the same little… Continue reading In my dreams this morning…
