Saved By Mass Suicide

Posted on May 23, 2012 by

I’ve been thinking about getting a new laptop. Last night, I realized that I only had 8 gigs of space left on my hard drive, so now… I’m strongly considering getting a new one. What amazes me is that there isn’t a good website to help with this.

Connoisseur’s Delight

Posted on May 22, 2012 by

I’ve been writing quite often recently, but I find that the more I write, the less I really say. It’s as if more attempts to get my feelings on paper result in the feelings becoming vague and diluted, spread too thin. I think that’s the explanation for the recent onslaught of lengthier poems – I’m trying a zillion ways to say something, but I’m not quite getting it. I don’t know what to do about that.

Crafty Disguises

Posted on May 20, 2012 by

I am a liar.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m introverted or passive, or whether those two go hand-in-hand or whatever. But if someone’s doing something that annoys me or makes me angry, I will say absolutely nothing. And if he or she asks me directly if they’re bothering me, I will never admit that they are.

Ever.

Strictly Platonic

Posted on May 18, 2012 by

I’m in between books. Figuratively, not physically. I just finished this book called Son of Man by Robert Silverberg, which was based on an interesting concept, but turned out to be kind of a chore to finish. It’s this (overly erotic) science-fiction story about a guy who accidentally gets flung billions of years into the future, to a point where humans bear little or no resemblance to humans of today.

As I said, the concept is interesting. A lot of futuristic stories take place tens, hundreds, or thousands of years in the future, at which point the world is relatively unchanged. But the idea of setting a story billions of years from now creates a curious perspective. Our lifetimes are mere specks, sure; but under these circumstances, our entire history since the beginning of mankind becomes nearly insignificant, as well.

Licking Needles

Posted on May 9, 2012 by

Recently, I feel like I’ve been living in some alternate reality. I’ve made a really good friend in this tiny town I live in. She’s a musician, so I’ve been going with her to open mics and whatnot. (And no, I don’t play at the open mics – crippling stage fright, doncha know. I’m more of a cheerleader for her.)
