haha it's funny, I think knowing how few people are reading compared to back den has encouraged me to take my time and work harder. My reward now has to come from hitting my own goals because th external rewards (praise, community, new friendships) have migrated to sites w/ values @ odds w/ el jay's
Still, it's nice to hear from you every single time
"a writer needs a strong passion to change things, not just reflect or report on them as they are. Mine is to promote a feeling for the importance of trees through a greater understanding of them, so that people don't just think of 'trees' as they mostly do now, but of each individual tree, and each kind of tree." - roger deakin.
I watched blogs about reconstruction going on after Katrina fancy-ing yet one more start-all-over-again because...well because of the music, not getting to do fancy plaster restoration some more. Just yesterday I watched all or the second season of Treme kinda bedridden. My back been acting up.

ah'm in NOLA, permanently, ah hope
Recently caught th first episode of th first season of Treme, and more recently acquired HBO GO, so now I can watch EVERYTHING -- too many options, really
As ah mentioned above, these long-form TV serials are th novels of our time, so th time commitment actually sometimes pays off

P.S. rest up! Do you exercise yr core or whatever they are calling it now, heard that helps prevent back injuries
I did rest up. It's just arthritis kicking my ass. I used to move more -as an arthritic-combatant perpetual motion machine - when I had a girlfriend who made motivation a seemingly invisible resource. How can one miss something so...damned...irritating...a voice...hyper-verbal. It never made sense...but it did somehow. These days it's an effort to diminish animal proteins and return to MDs I can trust...as opposed to visiting one that would put me in the cardiac wing for an arm pain. I just need a basketball, a deserted hoop, and a couple friends.
You seem like an outdoors type, so you're probably better off than most. Somewhere else, I read that owning a dog prolongs human lives hmm hmm gotta look that article up again ......
P.S. I tried discussing the idea of Infinite Jest being made into some kind of series to the only one of us from high school who's had anovel published. He had no idea what Infinite Jest was. The title of his novel was "My Apartment", by Michael K. White. I've been =meaning to tease him now that I'm reading what is "Mike's Apartment".
and but so iflostcosmonautJune 27 2012, 00:28:34 UTC
are you a fan of Infinite Jest? I read it in 1997-98 and still occasionally find myself thinking in those long, gorgeous, annoying, perfectly-constructed, self-cannibalizing DFW sentences
Might be time for a revisit, what w/ Kindle and its built-in dictionaries
It kinda snuck up on me a handful of years ago. To the Best of Our Knowledge, the radio show I listen to had him on once and I was kinda hooked. Someone also went on about his deep delving into things, details, almost a pirate of his own imagination, and how great a sense of dialogue he had.
I find it fanciful to imagine the cast of Infinite Jest, e.g., that actress who was on that X-Men movie, the one from Demark or some place that Magneto was getting to because she had as much potential as he did. (Why am I so bad with names?) I thought she would make a great "Moms". I also thought that make Justin Timberlake would make a good Randy Lenz (stereo-typecasting punishment for how he did in "The Social Network") The hardest character to cast is Don Gately because he's so big. Andre the giant is gone. Any ideas on who'd play Calvin Thrust, the former porn star?
I had the Barry soundtrack to that movie throughout childhood. I loved it. That song makes me feel new again.
I'd always imagined I'd live twice, after playing that song repeatedly for something like eleven years, until my father threw the LP away when he kicked me out of the house.
