I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Lazy Sunday

I'm taking time and not cleaning up the office (we have the bookshelves arriving this week, so I need to clear it out for installation). So I'm running through and getting caught up with the RSS feeds of blogs I like to read.

And out of the blue, holy mackerel! You turn your back on Jeff Vandermeer for a day or two and he goes and posts like 40 items. Argh! I mean I thought Jay Lake was wacked with posting something like 6 to 10 posts a day. It's like they're wrapped up contesting each other as to who can post the most. If I didn't like reading their posts I would dump them out of the RSS folder I have (I have done that to other blogs, mostly mil blogs that had more politics than anything else).

BTW, very soon now (if he hasn't already started, I'm still reading) Jeff will have a book sale.

I didn't tidy anything up today, either. I ran some errands, painted some stuff, and now I'm watching Star Trek: Enterprise. Some days are good like this.

If it's the early Enterprise, I'd agree. Once they went all wacky with the "we have to attract more people lets include sex and violence and not write it well" I can skip it.

And yeah, it's sometimes good to take a break. This week is going to be crazy (it's another meeting week). My guess is a job I quote for freelance will come in (and be due immediately). Then my own interior motivation is gearing up to get to work on the novel, "enough with the damn notes" says the voice inside my head. "The notes are getting in the way of the funny and the writing."

"Yeah, what can you do with them," he said contemplating his next post. :)
