Thoughtsam

I've started another project: Thoughtsam. Every day I post something, an idea, a snippet of fiction, a cute turn of phrase. Maybe someday I'll use them as inspiration for bigger writing projects. Maybe somebody else will. Who knows?

Seasons

So much has happened in the last few months, I feel like Summer just flew by. Now the days are cool but sunny, a combination I find I'm really enjoying. You know, Summer and Winter get all the press, but Spring and Autumn are where it's all happening; they're times of change, on the edge.

Just watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, despite its severely pedestrian trailer. Very cool movie; utterly arch yet completely committed.

Life

Should this blog just be about big ideas? I don't know.

Caitlyn's language skills are growing daily. Her "balloon" and "hello" are priceless. One of her latest words is "bop", which means bird, beep and/or burp, depending on context. Whenever someone honks their car horn in the neighborhood, she exclaims "bop"! I'm seriously considering getting a video-capable camera to capture this stuff.

I'm hooked on Natasha Bedingfield. I haven't been this into a pop album since Katy Rose. Is a rational? I hope not.
