Laughing Knees

I came across a post by Thomas of Pacific Tides about the state of the world today. While there have been thousands of posts concerning the war and the dying, something about Thomas’ post left me numb and so grieved that I almost broke down weeping. He sums up in such succinct and simple words the stupidity, futility, and sorrow of all that is going on that I couldn’t help but feel the weight of the last two years bearing down upon me.

Fred from Fragments From Floyd first made the call to people to try their hand at this exercise, an expression, in verse, of your origins.

When I got home from work this evening I switched on the computer, sat down in my trusty swivel chair, and flicked the cursor over to my e-mail client… and promptly got a load full of 160 e-mails, mostly spam.

I feel like I’ve just emerged from three days of slogging through a sewer. One spam blight after another, with no time to write about what I really love.

Two people have now e-mailed me to tell me that my page isn’t showing up right on their screens.
