whining and dying
A co-worker is dying. I don’t know which is worse, a death observed, or to pass through that door in an instant—from hale and happy on one side, to whatever is on the other side faster than the click of … Continue reading
luminous awe
Kept my face off the floor, because I didn’t go to work this morning. Fear seemed the better part of valor then, at about 4:30 AM; fear of another shoulder dislocation, fear of another scene at the work place (there … Continue reading

dying
Two seizures in a month. Dislocated shoulder both times. Cellulitis after the first one, continuing infected. The seizure threshold is dropping. Everything causes seizures now. Medication I used to take years ago without much side effect now causes a seizure … Continue reading
wasted days and wasted nights
It’s bedtime again. Nothing to show for the day. Sat around in sweats alternately elevating the cellulitic elbow, and resuming the in-sling position, which the recently-dislocated shoulder requires. The treatments are mutually counter-productive. So mostly I just ignore them both. … Continue reading
Utility my ass
The Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Energy (which took over from the Department of Public Utilities) should be ashamed of itself. Verizon public telephone charges $0.70 for a ONE MINUTE local telephone call. Now I have never been anything but … Continue reading

Philip Glass
Do all these Philip Glass movie sound tracks sound the same? The Hours, Kundun, and Koyaanisqatsi. I just watched Kundun, and I kept expecting to see Virginia Woolf appear. I felt the same way when I listened to parts of … Continue reading
eleventh
This is dsc00011.jpg, the eleventh photo I took with my then-brandie-new camera, the Sony DSC-F717, in February of 2003. Yikes! Such a long time ago. That is still a camera as yet unreplaced. True, I have moved on to a … Continue reading

Of bike rides, and bad jobs
Been wasting my life playing around at flickr. Between that and watching old documentaries that I download, I manage to stay up all night on my nights off, sleeping completely through my days off. But I have to be at … Continue reading

T-shirts on Tim Reed’s site.
gnome-blog-poster
Testing the Gnome-blog panel applet, It seems a little light on configuration tweakability (which can be a good thing), but is otherwise very solid and stable. When this post succeeds, it will become my regular tool for posting.
the moment’s touch
So, I have been thinking about rhythms, lately. Or the lack therof. I recently finished reading the last year of the oldgreypoet. Problem is, it’s a daily journal, and now that I have caught up, I miss the rapid progress … Continue reading

BloGtk
Trying out BloGtk, a blogging applet for Gnu/Linux. I like the ‘Blo’ part. 😉
a little less than an hour
I have been trying–albeit not very hard–to return here to write daily. The anxiety within me over this issue has not matched my drowsy, lethargic outward appearance, though. I sleep through the days. Everybody says to me, “Don’t you just … Continue reading
Darkening
The light is going, night soon. And it’s only mid-afternoon. Used to be that (using satellite images) I watched the progress of the the edge of night as it crossed the earth daily, and as it shifted seasonally from the … Continue reading
Resuming
Hi. So much for writing every day. There are more days, however. To recap, I did say everything from my last entry to the medicine man, and he made some unintelligent sounds, like “I could take those meds and they … Continue reading
