"Meals" are taking much longer to get together than I thought they would. This is due to the fact that, when viewed in the cold and critical light of day, all my great creative efforts are revealed as cleverly disguised pieces of crap. I think this has something to do with why I never posted anything on a regular basis.
That realization, combined with my joblessness, slothfulness and an atypical quantity of self-doubt/self-criticism has rendered me impotent on the creative front. This is probably just a decompression phase, tho, so I'm not too worried. Still, any tips for getting the ol' juices flowing are always appreciated, if only because it's encouraging to know that other people have researched and care about that sort of thing. It's damned near impossible to do anything in a social vacuum.
Other than that, life is just grand. I'm finishing up Thomas Pynchon's V (which is... different) and a couple other books I've left unread for too long. Small goals. Baby steps. Now that I'm free, I can play with my balls like David Bowie to my heart's content. Praise Allah.

Posted by: ~gauche at August 22, 2003 12:40 PMYou putz. I was just getting started! You're just jealous you didn't think of such a wonderful way to get out of ever having to come up with a meaningful title again. Let's see... it's a blog eat blog world, the blog days of summer, raining cats and blogs, let sleeping blogs lie. It's Creative Genius! (tm)
Actually, I think I pioneered the song-lyrics-that-don't-actually-relate-to-the-topic-at-all approach, which is still rather suitably fecund for me, thanks.
Come to think of it, the song-lyrics approach came from RadhaPria on alt.angst a long time ago. Funny, I never connected it until now.
"No, I get it. It's very clever. How's that working out for you, being clever?"
Oh, yeah. You forgot "Beware of 'Blog." And fucking post, already.
Posted by: ~gauche at August 25, 2003 11:00 AMOh God no. That would be far too pretentious. ;-)
Posted by: e at August 27, 2003 12:56 AMWait... Pretentious isn't what you're going for?
Curious.
Posted by: ~gauche at August 27, 2003 10:21 AMHmm. Yes. Obviously the ASCII wink is far too ambiguous an expression.
