• Hi folks

  Just breezing through and wanted to say hi. Everything is jumbled
  together in my brain recently. There's tons of content, but the lack of
  coherence makes it damn near impossible to reduce it to any kind of
  enjoyable creative output. The stress from the illness I mentioned in my last post,
  combined with the usual stress and general icky feeling of my own life and body, is
  making things... interesting. There are many things I want to say, and
  many places I want to focus my attention, but ultimately most of it
  gets passed over because I can't focus long enough. For example, I got
  our income taxes 90% done about 3 weeks ago, yet I've been unable to
  get them finished. I have a new song which I got 90% finished, needing
  only 4 short lines for completion, and yet it remains incomplete.
  Projects and tasks and responsibilities and communications are
  gradually starting to get backed up by this mental traffic jam, and I'm
  just hoping that I can find some way of imposing a little order and
  release before the existential constipation becomes problematic

  And so here I am, writing a blog entry about how I can't write a blog
  entry. Typical. My goal, toward which I've slowly been working, is to
  post a photo entry soon. This entry will give you some insight into the
  fascinating world of my job, and will feature pictures taken with our
  recently-acquired digital camera. I like to affectionately refer to it
  as the World's Crappiest Digital Camera, but I don't resent it for
  being such. It's actually a keychain, and cost 17 bucks new, so I went
  into the deal knowing I wasn't going to be getting top-quality imaging.
  It's more of a novelty than a camera, really, and I shall inflict its
  shots on you in future entries.

  If I keep spewing my random thoughts here tonight, I'll just ruin the
  almost-clarity of what I've already written, so I'll go now. I still
  have to sort the recyclables and put them out along with the garbage,
  and tidy the kitchen and put away the last of the groceries and do a
  few dishes. This is the theory, anyway. The fact that it's already
  almost an hour past my bedtime may result in the cutting of some of
  those tasks from my list. But we shall see. And we can't begin to see
  until I get myself off the computer and into task-accomplisment mode.

  I've been reading even when I haven't been commenting. Congrats to
  those of you doing well, hugs to those doing not so well, smiles to
  everyone in between. See you soon.

  Take care
  -J-
