more things not planned

“are you claustrophobic?” “naw” seems a no brain we. Note the auto curvy continues. “will you be cold?” They swaddle me in a blanket. They put plugs in my ears. They put blocks next to my head so it doesn’t move. They put a plastic hood I’ve it all. The re is a rubber panic ball in my right hand. They slip me like a lozenge into a thudding hole. …

well, this wasn’t part of the plan

So I am writing this on my phone. Terribly tempted to call whatever auto correct that happens poetry. Yesterday I woke up Wut. Rewind Friday , came back on a red eye from San Francisco nursing a four day old headache.I say this because we are now in the land of why. There was the armpit at sleep and the straining of an already strained neck.the was the wearing of …

Corseted

Landed. Crashed hard. Gabriel almost bowled me over with the force of his welcome hug. That felt good. Everything else is kinda blurry. Slept, awoke. Catching up with mail and packages. Nothing deep. Got no deep in my head right now. But I do have shiny. Hey! The dress arrived. It required the help of Aidan and Gabriel to zip me into it. It is an actual bandage dress. For …

Notions while on the periphery of conversation and consciousness

Not a bad set up. The lighting is decent. Wish I had a lav or directional mic. Michael Clark, Alex Levinson and Spence Thompson hung out long after the camcorders stopped. “If you want to hit any parties, you should go now.” Naw. The convo is good. No need for more drinking. We were well fed. I fell asleep in fetal position on the chair while intent voices rose and …

At The Tempest

Taylor Plympton, Nick Bowlin, Brad Bambara With so many of these students, I get this feeling I’m getting in on the ground floor of something really good. Students become friends. These guys? Friends. *Just finished interviewing them for a project…did I mention thoughtful? Passionate? Genuinely nice? Me and Spence Thompson I backpacked Italy and Prague with this guy. While we traveled together, we also did a lot of things apart. …

Connecting the Bits

Kevin Werbach, Andy Phelps, Jennifer Hinton’s nose, Liz Lawley, Constance Steinkuehler This is my second year at the Game Developer’s Conference in San Francisco. I got the chance to fly out early to hang with family before the conference begins today. I have the privilege of hanging out with very smart, sociable and thoughtful people. Smart and thoughtful are not necessarily the same. One can know quite a bit without …

Morning at the hotel

It should all start slowly, without alarm. Creeping light makes the world go from black to blue. California is a crazy place. At Tita Do’s house I could walk outside and pick a lemon. Had a pomelo for the first time. Dulce packed up oranges and pomelos for me to take. I eat one and watch the light change, rising to the surface from the depths.

This is the reboot.

External memory temporarily wiped. New day, new blog software. Expression Engine was okay for a while (8 years), but I found it’s prone to attacks, and I didn’t have the skillz required to customize scripts. I have 8 years worth of blog posts and comments and a metric pantload of spam to prune. I’ll ask my geek friends to help me get the stuff back, but in the meantime… Oooh! …
