It's my assertion that Pinterest is "tumblr for old people," (and this would apply to me most certainly) but it doesn't seem as appealing somehow.

Then count me as elderly. At least I grasp the concept of Pinterest.

I couldn't even figure out how to set up a Tumblr (lost "e" please) account.

It is much easier to figure out, I agree, I tried as well years ago but my elderly brain failed. Sometimes I wonder if that was a contributing factor to the idea for Pinterest. I only look at tumblr blogs but it can be a nice visual resource depending on one's interests.

Mostly, I seem to be blocked from seeing the images.

I learned that I have until the end of July to finish my proofreading of The Ape's Wife and Other Stories.

I would be more than happy to offer a second pair of eyes for that. Also still Red Delicious, if it's of use.

I signed the contracts for the French edition of The Drowning Girl

I am happy that will exist.

Thanks. I'll let you know. Frankly, I suspect I'm going toy be trying not to see errors...

It made me smile.

The fact you're always waking in the night...

That song and "Dirty Paws" have traded places as the song in my head when I wake up for about 8 weeks, now. This is not a complaint, just random data.

Pintrest has a bit of my resentment right now, having switched from Reader in its wake to Feedly. Feedly seems to link all its images to Pintrest, so if you want to enlarge them (and with my addiction to clever infographics, I often do), it launches Pintrest. Pintrest wants my Facebook credentials, and from such flows my trivial frustrations.

I am so in love with Keaton Henson. He knows the sound of pain.

Er...you lost me somewhere around "Feedly." Also, can the internet not make up stupid, silly names (like Pinterest)?

When I was typing the words, I could feel them slip away from meaning. That I continued to type them anyway, well, this internet I use, it uses me.

I had to laugh over your 70s weather comment. I am hoping it warms up to that today. Just over the hill it will be in the 100s

ah. San Francisco

I could never, ever live in San Francisco, though the city fascinates me.

Drowning Girl in French will be lovely.

I only wish I were fluent in French so I could actually read the translation.
