READIN

Jeremy's journal

At first I didn't quite know what I would do with the book, other than read it over and over again. My distrust of history then was still strong, and I wanted to concentrate on the story for its own sake, rather than on the manuscript's scientific, cultural, anthropological, or 'historical' value. I was drawn to the author himself.

🦋 A punchline in search of a joke

It happens frequently that a pun or malapropism -- or just funny-sounding phrase -- will occur to me as something that could be most humourous, were it preceded by the right introduction. What that introduction should be, almost never occurs to me; and when I do think of something it never sounds right -- does not communicate humour in any but the most labored fashion. But I want to be funny!

I sometimes think I should write all of these punch lines down, and accumulate them until something is born of the mess. For now though I will go on letting them leave my mind as quickly and effortlessly as they came.

On my way home pretty soon. I'm buying some glue and brushes on the way to the train, to be used this weekend in gluing together and finishing the shoe rack which has been my major preoccupation for about 6 months now!

🦋 Getting my link out there

I believe the next week or so I will spend, fleshing out my list of links so it has all or most of the sites I want to link to; and making some posts. Then I will e-mail a couple of my fave blog authors, and see if I can start having other people look at my journal.

Also, I want to add a "Daily" section to the list of links, which will show only for the current day pages that I am reading.

➳ More posts about The site

I've been thinking for a while about starting a blog, plus I was keen to figure out ASP. So, here it is -- I will refrain from making any promises about frequent updates. Check out the cool link system on the left-hand side of the page; click on a category name to see links in that category, and click on "Show full descriptions" if you want to see my brief thoughts on the link in question.
