I don’t know what that means. It just came as a flash of inspiration. Maybe, I’ll write my way into it. More bots today. 2 views and about 10 likes. There were a few recognizable names from yesterday’s 8 views and likes, and since I posted yesterday, I expected a few of those. I’m tired.… Read More Home again, naturally
I mentioned this a few days ago, but I seem to be quite popular with the bots now. I’m getting about 10-15 likes per day, but only 1-4 hits/visitors. Am I supposed to feel smug about it? You haven’t seen much of me lately, since I have been working on an urgent freelance job. I… Read More Ghosted
So, now the old monitor is history, released from its misery (and mine). I’ve connected an ancient 19″. It’s a little faded, but not very clear. I have another, a 20″, but it is connected to an old computer that I (rarely) need to use some legacy software. For some reason, it works better on… Read More History
Do you remember my recalcitrant monitor? Well, it has been turning itself off almost every 15 minutes or so, and won’t go back on right away. I think it might be curtains for that experiment. Time for some recycling. I started my freelance job today. It is longer than I thought, probably a third longer.… Read More Recalcitrant
My Hail Mary job application has flopped like Jalen Hurt’s last gasp pass of the Superbowl. It never had a chance at connecting. I knew that, but several of my colleagues urged me to apply. If I can’t keep my current lowly position, what makes them think that I would have a chance at one… Read More Bots!
I told you that last weekend was an audition day. I was hoping for some time to write, but that didn’t happen. Well, yes, I did work a little on The Eleventh Book, and I think I have another chapter, but as usual, I want to read through it again before posting. It took a… Read More Up Periscope
The perfect job came into my inbox this morning. It’s where I did my undergraduate and the perfect place for me. Hold on … It’s not quite so perfect. I’ll be honest that I have been waiting for something there to open up, so I can grab it with both hands. As I said yesterday,… Read More Horseshoes and …
I really couldn’t spend time on things I wanted to today. Teaching takes up most of my day on Wednesdays, either the act of teaching, preparing to teach, or grading papers. Then there are advising issues, and preparing for an event I am hosting in 2 weeks, then that may be it for me as… Read More Diversion – divergent
I decided that today I would talk about music, or at least begin that way, because that is rarely where I end up. A few weeks ago a student asked me if I had heard anything amazing lately. I couldn’t think of anything right away. I was taking him too literally. There was something I… Read More Musicmucis
Yesterday, I wrote a long post about how I hadn’t delivered on my promised to go to the gym early, WP crashed while saving a draft and I couldn’t get it back. I went to the gym, but I went late morning because I graded some papers first. Now, today, I’ve done the same thing.… Read More Yesterday left so suddenly
