Reading, Watching But Sadly No Writing

Jul 08, 2010 12:12

A couple of weeks ago, I finished reading Wikinomics by Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams. This morning during the power outage at work, I finished an out-of-print book about the Hugh Otis Bynum murder conspiracy trial entitled Lay Down with Dogs.

Went on a Amazon bargain-bin binge recently, picking up a copy of David Horowitz's The Art of ( Read more... )

Did you put Heavens Fall in your Netflix queue like I told you to?

I seem to be doing much of the same, really. I want to get back into writing and get nuggets of blogs coming to me all the time, apart from when I sit down to actually write something. It sucks.
I've tried to get together a notepad and attempt to jot things down, but it hasn't really worked so far.

Good to hear that you're still getting as much done as you can! :)

I've got a list of topics a mile long, but when I've had the time to sit down and write about them, they haven't been important. Go figure.

I would love to see you start writing again. If you were to write, where would you do it? Here? Xanga? Elsewhere?

Glad you liked the post.

I'm doing my part to not let Xanga die, despite the fact I can hear its death-rattle from here.

I'm curious to know how you're doing your part to not let Xanga die. I thought that you quit cross-posting about a year ago.

Never heard of the movie, but I'm a big fan of Leelee.

I can't recommend Heavens Fall highly enough. Of course, as you can see, I have a great personal attachment to the film because I feel like I was a small part of the history of both the film, the story and Alabama history.

P.S. How do you like my shopping avatar?

ehowton July 8 2010, 18:28:32 UTC

OMG that's funny. I noticed it, yes - in fact had to double-check the username as I'd not seen it before, but had no idea what it meant. I thought it meant you were "empty" or "homeless."

It would work for both of the situations that you listed.

I wanted to use the Amazon shopping cart for an avatar, but I didn't want to rip them off. So I looked for a shopping cart instead. I didn't want to do groceries as I was talking about buying non-edible items so I wanted something as generic as possible. I believe that I accomplished my goal!
