Song Is Getting Thin
EWM's been on hold for a whole week. I'd like to think blog-time will open soon. Or else what? Got three books piled up for the weekend and semester-end projects, conceptually formed as they are, requiring a hard pry to loosen them into keystroke-motion.
So it's not an official hiatus, just a holding pattern. Meanwhile, it's not like there's nothing else to check on the net. Today's web zen on earworms is a fine distraction (particularly this, this, this and this). And there's this insightful quiz (via geek-guides) which tells me my file type is j-peg. Decisive category-maker must have come when I answered that I'd rather burn my eyes with a hot poker than read another book. Heh...kidding? Back to it.

RE you holding pattern:
as an eager reader (and fellow writer), I grant you this. But as a reader of many blogs you also read, I'm noticing that you're finding time to COMMENT (ie write OTHER PEOPLE's blogs) even when you're not posting to your own.
This evokes a strange mix of indignation and ______ (? longing for you to write a post of your own).
If I was smart, this could figure into our little points system.
PS I was a .doc. Yuk. :) Much better to be a .jpg.

I break from sanctioned reading, scan a few blogs, type up a comment (occassionally I actually submit the comment). Back to sanctioned reading. Repeat.
So the loop plays over and over...with inadequate gaps for blogging. And December's in sight.
Posted by: Derek at November 15, 2004 10:56 AMMadeline, I notice you're doing more commenting than blogging, yourself. Moral: you can stop writing in your own blog, but you can't stop reading everybody else's!
Posted by: senioritis at November 15, 2004 4:45 PMthe *real* irony is that I REALLY DIDN'T REALIZE what a hypocrite I was being.
:)
I definitely earn a point for that, eh? We're back to even. Or whatever it was before I started waving the points around.
Posted by: mad at November 16, 2004 7:16 PMWait...I can't remember if I'm trying to get points or return to zero. I'm thinking somebody gets half a point for my dad commenting at academom. Fair?

having more fun than anyone should be allowed to have, even with my right brain tied behind my back....
Posted by: pops at November 19, 2004 9:56 PMGlad you enjoyed it. I'm trying to avoid an Edmund F. earworm--in whichever side of my brain at the controls right now.
