"A walking pace is the speed of community." (Bull Bunn for Salon) "She possessed the hopeful, hopeless courage of the poor, which is perhaps the most appealing of all human qualities…" - Gene Wolfe, from The Shadow of the Torturer

tessellated
Despite having applied available discipline in the early hours (waking, recalling, and a forced recounting of relevant details before slipping back into sleep), what sprang from the subconscious has been subsequently and utterly lost. Often it is precisely when we wish to grasp that we lose our tentative hold altogether. So it is that we… Continue reading tessellated
compass points
I am Upstate, North and West of The City; a bit south of the Great Lake known as Ontario. It has been cold at night, with sunny and brisk daytimes. Having arrived late morning on Monday, I feel as though many days have passed, and yet few. That is the way of being away, and… Continue reading compass points
prosaic
1. characteristic of prose as distinguished from poetry 2. everyday, ordinary A combination of the two might comprise a life without poetry. Not in the sense of poems in books, you know, but poetry in the larger sense– the poetry of dreams, of big ideas and grand plans; of believing in something, of following one's… Continue reading prosaic
laced with madness
Having just waked from a late-afternoon nap– dreams laced with madness. My mind unraveled. Small gods in the guise of speechless children were in the room and I asked Ben who they were. One sat on s shelf in the corner and another dashed under the bed but didn't go completely out of sight. They… Continue reading laced with madness
In Search of Life
fig. 2 : "In Search of Life" I'm beginning with a bang; drawing number two, in addition to having written three pages– on anything! A digression in which, regarding the digital world, graphic design, and the world as we know it, led me to my own Toft-like ruminations, to wit (an excerpt): So much is… Continue reading In Search of Life
water soluble
Floodwaters rising. I was among others, and I was on some sort of mission; I was preparing for something, and trying to locate what I'd lost among the water pooling around our feet. I didn't set out to write it down immediately, though, so the rest of the dream has been lost. Sunday Ben and… Continue reading water soluble
tagged: 25 things
This is a Facebook bit of nonsense. "Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you..." Etc. May as well put it here, too, now I've spent the time. 1. I've been wrestling with a cowlick above my right temple since I… Continue reading tagged: 25 things
Hmmm
I'm contemplating whether or not to upgrade to Custom CSS in this realm. Honestly, I'm perfectly happy with my blogger blog, but getting my head around setting up a fully-functional site on WordPress is on my list of things to do in 2009. Hell, it's only 15 bucks, I may as well do it. For… Continue reading Hmmm
(none)
Here I sit wasting time; a google search for tuckamore (Tuckamore are spruce trees that are stunted by salt spray from the coast) then led to an image search for ice boats (eisyachts, too) which naturally led to images of houses in snow. From there is was only natural to narrow the search down to… Continue reading (none)
