Tilting the Void

everything looks perfect from far away...

Some days are diamonds.

To quote that banal king of mediocrity, John Denver (whom I nevertheless sometimes crave, the way you might yearn for warm tapioca pudding or flat soda).

Some days are stone. Today's a diamond. I'm beginning to feel like this beast of a novel is shaping up--though what shambling creature it might be is anyone's guess.

I feel like yes, it might actually possible, though it's still early days. STILL. Two or three more times around the mulberry bush, Dr. Watson, and you might just have yerself a damn book.

*back to work*

I resist my nerdness.Awesome. Now I don't have to see the movie.

Some are coal.

My parents took us kids to see John Denver in about 1974 or so. MY brother was young, but a fan. I was young, but more of a Deep Purple fan, I think. Anyway, the only thing I remember about the whole show is the line "Toledo, Ohio - I spent a week there one day."

I've since replicated his feat. I know it's not cold fusion, but it does bend the space-time continuum.

HA! More proof that the midwest is a gigantic event horizon, around which the rest of us swirl :lol: I've been to Kansas City, MO in August. That was a long, long week, too.

My sister was heavily into JD in the mid-late seventies, which is where I learned most of the songs. Picture a five year old kid singing "Take Me Home, Country Roads", accompanied by a Hammond organ.

*shudder*

The mere thought is painful. Your parents must have been so proud!

Funny how the most painful events of our youth are the same events that brought our parents the most joy.
