I’m still cleaning up the blog, trying to combat link rot. Somehow, I fell into looking at the draft posts. This one is from 2009 and I haven’t the foggiest notion as to why I didn’t publish it. Today’s prompt is from Barnes & Noble’s Facebook page: September is National Literacy Month. What book got you hooked […]
My Favorite Comedian
Originally published at Enemy of Entropy. You can comment here or there. Plinky asked, “Who’s your favorite comedian? Is there anyone you can’t stand?” George Carlin is the King of Comedians as far as I’m concerned. He’s always hilarious. I love watching old clips and reading his books. His death was a huge loss to the […]
City Living
Originally published at Enemy of Entropy. You can comment here or there. First, a random thought: And now, the actual content: Plinky asked, “If you had to live in a large city for a year, which would you pick? What if you had to pick a big city in another country?” Toronto Skyline I’d be […]
What is the first thing you see when you walk in your house?
The NaBloPoMo prompt for today: What is the first thing you see when you walk in your house? Right now, the first thing anybody sees is Sam’s desk. No, that isn’t precisely right. If you’re looking straight ahead at the wall, you see a collage by Katie, which is much lovelier.
How do you feel when you return home at the end of the day?
The NaBloPoMo prompt for today: How do you feel when you return home at the end of the day? I’m not sure I should have answered this one, as I doubt that my answer will be in sync with the intent of the question. I don’t leave home every day to go to work, or leave home […]
What was your favourite part about returning to school?
The NaBloPoMo prompt for today: What was your favourite part about returning to school? That’s not an easy question. It wasn’t cool to acknowledge being happy to return to school each year, of course, so while I was glad, I didn’t really acknowledge it to myself. As a result, it is more difficult to access those […]
Start of the New School Year
The NaBloPoMo prompt for today: How did you feel about the start of the school year growing up? As far as I remember, I was usually excited—at least after 7th grade or so. School up to that point was so intensely boring that I couldn’t wait to get out of it so I could go back to […]
NaBloPoMo, Again
I’m trying NaBloPoMo again! The theme this month is “Return,” although I’m not at all sure what the heck that’s supposed to mean. I got today’s post in just under the wire, obviously—but I did post! Tomorrow I’ll try to do it much better. And I’ll even include photos of the new kitten! Maybe he’ll […]
September 2010 NaBloPoMo Theme: Art
I received the NaBloPoMo newsletter today and learned that this month’s theme is Art. On the one hand, I thought, “I have nothing to say! I’m not an artist. Blah.” On the other hand, I’m coming to realize that I must have order in my life or I start dying, bit by bit. “Enemy of […]
Further Prof of Insanity: Blog365
I got through NaBloPoMo, as ridiculous as it was to commit to posting at least once a day for a month. So of course that small success has led me, in a moment of more-than-usual-lunacy, to sign up for Blog365 (otherwise known as “Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire”). The purpose is fairly clear: […]
