(no subject)
First off, I'd like to wish a (belated) Happy Birthday to the wonderful em_fish. I haven't been around much in Cyberspace, or I would've posted sooner.
This journal is turning into all politics -- I shall leave an entry on Harper's latest evil for a later date.
Other things do happen in my life. My writing continues apace. My editors still have my most recent version, and I'm going over it myself page-by-page, playing my own editor as well. I'm getting the same two thoughts over and over again that I always get now -- It's going to need a complete overhaul and Not again -- I just want to get this out.
(If I do re-write it, that'd make four versions, cover-to-cover, in six months)
We also lost one of my favourite co-workers yesterday -- he's going to Regina (his wife's home) and trying finally to launch a musical career. He originally came to Montreal to do theatre, and even owned a small venue for awhile.
Anyway, to further break myself out of the rut, a meme:
Everyone has things they blog about.
Everyone has things they don't blog about.
Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on lima beans, favourite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc.
Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other!
ETA: Today is the Ides of March -- traditionally considered an unlucky day in the West because the Emperor Julius Caesar was assassinated 2,052 years ago today.
First Nations might also consider this an unlucky day, since it was the one Christopher Columbus reached Spain in 1493, to tell all of Europe about all about what he thought was a new route to India. Colonization soon followed :/
