I’ve had a lot of things on my mind lately and I promised one of my regular readers an update, but I’ve not much to report because the past three and a half weeks have pretty much been the same as the previous seven. I’m still working on that same big project, I’ve still not written enough new poems to fill out my latest proposed collection (which is now dead in the water) and I’m still juiced on the frenetic pace of crowded subway platforms and power lunches.
So this entry could go the blah way, the overly romanticized way, or the nothing to report way. I’m making it up as I type.
I made Blog of the Moment sometime last week. I don’t remember the actual date, but I thought that WordPress was trying to humour me with the capsule appearing right after I had logged in to the site. Here’s the screen capture … actually just a snippet of the entire screen cap. I Photoshopped a lot out of the actual screen cap. Pardon the cropping.
In other news, I’ve spent this entire Easter weekend ogling over my new MacBook. The good folks at the Apple Store transferred all of my music and photo files from my old desktop PC to the MacBook, free of charge. For some weird reason I had thought that the transfer would cost me $65 but it didn’t. So I went out and indulged in Mac OS X Tiger Edition: The Missing Manual by David Pogue and began an intense self-study in the realm of user-friendly and ridiculously simple computing. I love Apple.
I wish my weekends were a bit longer so that I could have more time to put the new laptop to work. Two weekends ago I promised myself a foray around the city with some impromptu digital photography, but if I can recall properly I spent that time catching up on laundry and ironing. I’m still quite the clutter-bomb right now. Not to mention the fact that I’m behind schedule in my reading list.
I think I was behind schedule even before this work project started. Darn it.
