going direct
so here we are, another groundhog day, and with mercury going direct all things of an electrical, communicative, or forward progress nature should begin to run a little smoother, and then a lotta smoother, and finally a hella smoother. so why did it take me an hour to get online today (stupid attwifi)? well, [...]

all the things we could never say
as we roll into the final week of this three week period of generally looking backward and taking care of old business, one of the things i am noticing is that this is definitely part of the zeitgeist.

grading the retro mercury
okay, so in terms of chaos, i’d say last week ranks up there with the best of them, and in terms of the value of that chaos, i’m surprisingly delighted. you gotta boil the soup to make the dinner, i guess. and i’m just figuring that this week will hold more of [...]

someone to talk to
i’m in the middle of some stuff, the kind of stuff that generally calls for some verbal restraint, for some cards close to the chest. you could say i’ve got some troubles. beyond that i ain’t talkin’.
