11/19/09 09:36 am - Realization About Yesterday's Lack of OomphI'd forgotten, but one typical manifestation of MLE Worry/Concern is Apathy/Loss of Feeling. Mebbe next time I'll see it as such ahead of time...such as on Wed, 12/2 when I return for crown fitting & its next door neighbor tooth's drilling & filling. ( Further Insight(s) )
Okay, THIS is what I mean by I wish my intuition were better: I would like to be able to figure this out ahead of time, to go "hey, I'm feeling this way b'c of such and so." Then again, mebbe after today I'll be better able to do so. |

11/17/09 08:43 pm - Today & TomorrowThankful today for having Dear Friends to visit on my way home Southward from my Northward home ofCopperMoon - so nice to see you,
O'morrow: Dentistry appointment in the morning for crown prep (w/drilling). Eeeeep. |
11/16/09 01:28 pm - Bare EssentialsEvery now and again I find myself wondering about and perhaps even considering reducing my worldly possession by a huge amount, thus gaining a freedom and flexibility I don't have while encumbered by STUFF 'n' THINGS. Today's trigger for these thoughts were some of what I'm reading and studying today for class. Many thoughts swirling along, but I'm gonna get back to the books rather than spill out more words on this now.

11/15/09 08:06 pm - Dear Creative LazyWeb-sters:A friend is currently mulling over an idea for a film with a completely off-stage main villain. This is what he says and I'm spreading the question further w/this post:
I can think of a couple of examples of this that, in my opinion, don't work well (Blair Witch Project springs to mind, as does one horrific Enterprise episode), but I'm at a loss for examples of people who've done it well. As a general rule, if the audience doesn't ultimately confront the villain (vicariously through the main characters, of course) they're left feeling unsatisfied with the narrative. But for every rule there's an exception, so I'm sure they must be out there. So, can anyone out there come up with an example (preferably on screen, but also in prose, and preferably in science fiction, comedy, or drama and not horror) where the non-appearance of the antagonist is either not a hinderance or actually an enhancement to the storytelling? |

11/12/09 02:01 pm - New 'PuterThanks to all who provided input re: 13" vs. 15" laptop. I'm now typing this on my new 13" MacBookPro which I'm very Very happy about and with. One day soon I'll set up my iTunes w/external hard drive, at which point my music collection expands 5-fold or so... Wheeeee!

11/11/09 09:25 am - Is Two (2") Inches Worth $200?My laptop is (nearly) dead; long live my laptop!
I'm looking at the 13" vs. 15" MacBookPro w/same specs otherwise (2.53GHz, 250GB hard drive, 4GB memory). Feedback appreciated. EDIT: 4.5 lbs vs. 5.5 lbs, but GelSkins're only avail for the 15". I could prolly fit the new 13.3" in my same 'puter bag, otherwise I'll need a new one. |
11/10/09 02:11 pm - Thankful Today:For good friends who live locally & gorgeous Fall weather.
I'm gonna need something to recover from that stress. Luckily it's Tuesday, so I'm prolly gonna bus over to Clinton Corner Cafe for dinner and the traditional Tuesday night live music (6:30-8:30pm) courtesy of the Pagan Jug Band. |
11/9/09 10:07 pm - Leonids: Go Out Look Up (Late Mon/Early Tu)Next Monday night, 11/16/09, you may wanna stay up late & head outside to see the Leonids peak 'round 12:30-2:30am (technically Tu morning, 11/17/09 by then, but to my mind it's not morning 'til you wake up). Ideally, I'd share this w/

11/8/09 10:39 pm - Something's FishyHad a really nice day w/AJ & the Petting Zoo Critters ( Afterwords, we had dinner (and drinks) pretty much next door at the Rogue Brewery Ale Pub. Mmmmmmm. O'morrow I shuttle AJ to PDX for her return to SoCal. It's been a really good visit - her first in over 2.5 years. Back then, she drove up from SoCal w/me and the kittenheads and the last carload of my stuff when I first moved to Portland/the Hive. The next interval 'tween visits will be shorter. Loads o' things on my ToDo list o'morrow. At the end of the week, the Amazing |
