Half of the Brain :
the place all those random thoughts that flit through my head each day go to die

Jumpstart!
Quick drive and just don't turn the car off:

I'm thinkin I'll start posting again.
I write better the more I write and I need to feel like I'm writing more, so I think I'll start posting again.

Status Report:
Lately I've found myself in the midst of an on-going love/hate relationship with "the box". Most days I hate it.
I'm experienceing bouts of writer's frustration which have trickled down to effect every kind of writing I do--including email and blogging. I sit down (at the keyboard or with a notebook) and have all this stuff to say and my fingers just can't move fast enough to keep up with my brain and my brain has to work soooooo very hard to remember the way it wanted to say what it wanted to say, that in the end I find myself thinking the entire process simply isn't worth the effort.

The only writing I'm doing at the moment is more appropriately called "listing"-- listing just enough to cue my own thought processes. I have pages and pages and pages of work notes that are simply "listed abbreviations"
pg 189-- c 4 RM,
pg 200 c n12 --cogent JH overview,
pg 242-- interp of RATW YUCK!
I go on like this for pages and pages. Each notation is at least a paragraph of written-out notes. I'm talking notes here, not quality prose, yet I *still* can't manage to get my head on paper.

The fact that I'm even writing this is perhaps a good sign that the worst is over, but alas I have so much more to say...
For now, I'll just have to leave it at :
green thumbs
eating waffles forthwith
leo and rossi
retail theory
postmodern movies

Check back and see if in the next few weeks I can't actually work up to blogging about them....
