I try vainly to amuse you before I fall asleep

Help me, I'm addicted to this damn internet web thing! A crumb of work to do that involves anything that's hard, and I'm Doctor Surffingers. To paraphrase King Henry II's inadvertent death sentence upon Thomas Becket: Will no-one rid me of this troublesome DSL connection

Writing is so many things. I suppose in the end I don't think it relates to morality. It's mysterious though, what it reveals and doesn't--does the writer know best the meaning of the words, or is the writer blinded by lack of distance?

I've had a similar thought to this, in the context of fictional/creative writers. How much of the popular success of those writers can be credited to some sort of widespread misunderstanding of those writers' words? Writing is mysterious

Hello there!

Just wanted to drop a hello over to a fellow Bostonian....
We don't seem to have a lot in common, but I saw that you signed up to attend the Meetup for LJ users.
Cheers!

Cool. How many people are signed up? I should probably visit the site. Though we don't have many common interests, or unusual interests in common, our interests don't seem to conflict. We're both liberals and I also like LOTR and Harry Potter. Those are pretty common tastes for this area. So chances are that if we see each other at the meetup we won't snarl and hiss and spit at each other, or perhaps I should only speak for myself.

harold bloom is a gnostic, i believe -- the scholar who wrote the western canon -- you might find more in his book the american religion.
