    Absent Friends

    by  • January 30, 2004 • WTF

    This week’s F5 question is Morgaine‘s. Well, I’ve been thinking about absent friends – the people you just aren’t in contact with any more, for whatever reason. Maybe it was intentional, on either of your parts, maybe there is something unresolved between you, maybe you just lost a phone number or address and you...

    A Day Out

    by  • January 27, 2004 • PERSONAL

    I spent the morning writing, and once again Sala, the woman who comes to clean every once in a while, interrupted my reverie in Neil’s past. So I wrote a little more, and decided to have a day out of the house. I’m still working on how to start showing one major element of...

    I love the way Adam puts a perspective on things…

    No Monkeys, But I Saw A Goatherd…

    …and a flock of goats, too. Is flock the right word? I don’t know. It was quite the sight, actually… old fellow crouched on the top of a gorge, tying on his turban and calling out every once in a while to the goats so they wouldn’t run off too far. I was also...

    Still quite worth it…

    by  • January 24, 2004 • PERSONAL

    … but I wish they hadn’t run off… I was looking for an earring for my buddy Seong Hwan when I heard a couple of girls talking Korean in the shop I was in. They were trying to get the shop owner to tell them about pricing for shawls, related to percentge of wool,...

    Monkey Business

    by  • January 24, 2004 • PERSONAL

    Well, last night after I got home from a little market-wandering a pack of monkeys jumping around on the roof failed to distract me from writing. I put some music on and kept at the writing, and made some more great progress. I also discovered that some of the content I’d produced for one...
