Third paragraph same as the second and very much like the first.  Oog. 
\nThat’s how writing has gone today.  Did I mention that my writing today has
\nbeen a steady murmurmur of sameness and similitude?  Over and over and
\nover.  And over. (I’m giving it a rest, that<\/i> writing.)<\/p>\n

I’m drafting an essay for
\n711<\/a>, the net-rhets course.  And I’ve been
\nthinking about this project for a lo-o-ong time, so it should be easy. 
\nYeah?  I was shooting for five pages by tomorrow afternoon and, well, I’ve
\npopped off damn near 1800 words.  All’s fine?  Not so.  You see,
\nthe problem is that I’ve dashed 1000 words with a self-deprecating
\nstrikethrough effect<\/strike>. Crap.  Moving on…<\/p>\n

The other string of writing: three imprecise loops saying the same thing
\nagain and again.  I’m not stuck; I can get stuff down.  Familiar
\nstuff.  Stuff I’ve already written. <\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

A fresh start:<\/p>\n

\nOn the subject of redundancy, I flipped back to a year-old entry.  April
\n27, 2004. 
\n
\nThere<\/a>, I tentatively hedged that I was pulling for the Detroit
\nPistons to ramble through the NBA Playoffs.  Why not?  Didn’t jinx
\nthem last season.  I’m going with them again, with even greater conviction
\nthis year.  I’m a bit wary about the path likely to materialize: second
\nround match-up against the Pacers followed by an Eastern Conference Finals
\nmatch-up against the Heat.  I expect the Miami series to be close, and if
\nMourning continues to play well, who knows.  And out of the West, maybe
\nDenver (long shot; more likely the Suns, I suppose).  Although I haven’t
\nseen the Suns or the Sonics play this year.  Plus, the Spurs are slamming
\nDenver right now, which’ll even that series 1-1.<\/p>\n
