Six Holy Oranges

Of course my life had to go and get complicated, but I can't write about it here. There's too much of a work nexus, etc. What can I write about? Ah yes - I'm finally home! Linda and Maggie got back from Africa today. I love the kitties, but I have to say I'm pleased to be back home with the fishies.

We are bloggers. We are LEGION.

What it is about NaBloPoMo, yo? I can't be Finslippy. I can't be Heather Armstrong. I can't be an Eden Mariott Kennedy, but even though I can't be her, tons people hit my page from the nablopomo blogroll. And then I read the pages there, and what do I find?

Writing skills vary, but we are all the same. It's the same bizarre compulsion to sit down every day and type stuff out.

Now I just wish I could make money at it!  ;-)

I tremble.

Tonight's gonna be a good night.

Do you see that Flickr thing off to the right on this here blog? That there thing is new. :-)

What did I do this weekend? Besides studiously avoiding posting you mean? I had wine with the deputy director, at a nice establishment in Columbia City called Verve Wine Bar and Cellar on Friday evening. It was.. I'm always surprised when people notice me. I believe it's because I used to spend an inordinate amount of time wanting to not be seen. This is me, blending in with the chartreuse curtains, like a proper salamander should. Simon ben Zoma asked, "Who is wise? Who is powerful? Who is wealthy? Who wins esteem?"

Saturday I spent at a seminar and then dinner with Bee. We listened to the new Black Eyed Peas album. It wasn't all that impressive...but maybe they're good live? The beats didn't hold me.

And today. Today I spent reading and speaking on the phone with various and sundry friends. I avoided some things, and embraced others. I read a little Hebrew. Im ein ani li, mi li? U'ch'she'ani l'atzmi mah ani? V'im lo achshav eimatai?

And how are you?
