LKH in italics, me in bold fits of laughter.
This is my first time blog-flogging instead of book-flogging...hope you all enjoy!
Happy Samhain, Happy Halloween
Traditionally a time to say good-bye to the dear departed. On that note, will anyone join me for a ritual bonfire where we bid adieu to plot and characterization as we know it?
I've got to go get ready to take Trinity trick or treating. I'm trying to decide if it's too cold for my costume. I've got a cape. Any guesses on the sure-to-be-absurd costume? Maybe Marie Antoinette, so as we villagers are starving for plot she can proclaim from her ivory tower, "let them read Micah!"
Jon and I will probably take turns taking her out and serving candy. We usually do. The pumpkins are lit. The excitement runs high, and all I can think of is that I didn't get my minim pages today.
*shakes head* you know, we'd all much prefer you got less than the minimum pages finished, so long as they were decent pages.
It is the end of our year, because it is the end of the harvest. Now's the time to prepare for winter in a serious way.
Indeed. Stock up on post-its, calendars, and shiny red shirts. Also make sure the house is warm by kindling the fire with angry fan letters.
The seasons don't mean much when you have central heating and central air, and grocery stores, but the rhythm's of the earth are still there, still waiting to be felt. This is the kind of general statement that makes my brain hurt. The seasons mean plenty, no matter how insulated your house is. They mean change, renewal, birth, death, twilight, growth, etc. They awaken muses and inspire creativity in most people. The 'rhythm of the earth' is a lot more than just shopping in a store, and someone who prides themself on being in tune with nature should know the distinction. Argggggh!
