Howard Hughes vs. Her Last Scrap of Humanity

[greygirlbeast]

Remember when people "had time" to read online journals? Before the instant gratifications and endless blither buffet of Twitter and Facebook, I mean. Wow. Technology. LJ automatically capitalizes "facebook," unless I force it not to, at which point I'm told it's misspelled. Talk about kissing the ass of your undoing

Alabaster: Wolves preordered, and eagerly awaited.

[greygirlbeast]

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the notice on pre-ordering Alabaster: Wolves. Pre-order is away.

I still need to read the last issue of the digest, between work and a cold making me want to sleep a lot more my to be read stack is growing at a frightening rate.

You're welcome, and all my gratitude.

Sorry you're feeling rotten. Me, I haven't a cold, but the cold weather is making me want to sleep.

I don't know how people can even claim to "keep up" with fb and twitter, especially if they have a large follow/friend list. I don't even bother. But I do with eljay because it often comes with more substance.

I have an absurd 2,614 "friends" on Facebook (and more on Twitter). I virtually never even try reading any of the posts of those 2,614 people.

That's what I figure. I do have an actual friend on there who probably has at least as many friends, and sometimes I know he reads stuff because I get comments. But again, rare as hel.

It's like the twitter and fb are doing what six degrees wanted to do in 1999 more than anything else.

I do have, maybe, 20 actual friends and friends on FB. I rarely comment to their posts, though.

Pretty much.

First off, I deleted my Facebook account. I just said NO. Bye.

Second, your writing isn't obtuse, I, the reader, am obtuse. Seriously, WTF was the Drowning Girl even about? I don't know. I must read it 3 more times. Because I am obtuse. Not you.

Third- "Anathema". What a great word! Don't get to use that in daily conversation nearly enough. As in ever.

And fourth- bipedal Stegosaurs. Unlikely- yes. Improbable- certainly. Again, the more we learn, the stranger it all is... 13 juvenile Stego footprints, all hind limbs. Just sayin'.

Good for you.

An interesting perspective. Now, in a mere ten words exactly what The Drowning Girl is "about." But where would be the fun in that?

Third- "Anathema". What a great word! Don't get to use that in daily conversation nearly enough. As in ever.

Use as wide a vocabulary as frequently as possible. Which is always.

And fourth- bipedal Stegosaurs. Unlikely- yes. Improbable- certainly. Again, the more we learn, the stranger it all is... 13 juvenile Stego footprints, all hind limbs. Just saying'.

It is interesting. Have these been written up anywhere? Was Lockley involved in this discovery (I knew him in Colorado, and have great respect for his opinions).

Really enjoying the latest Digest. Thank you! It's more than worth the wait!

Alabaster: Wolves is pre-ordered.

[greygirlbeast]

Thanks.
