I think that's already happening. Remember music stores?

In The Wrath of Khan Spock gives Kirk a real book for his birthday. Maybe something like you describe will give books as we know them more gravitas.

I don't think I can ever see 127 hours. I would dread the inevitability of it to the point of making myself ill.

I probably need to start setting some goals for my years. I have a few that spring to mind.

Get on top of my finances. I get so close to this so often and then it all blows up.

Start looking at career options. I have a full time job and one hesitates to rock that boat but it isn't terribly fulfilling.

Alternatively, get some of that career fulfillment elsewhere but stick with the steady income.

Great idea. I'm a day behind but I might just jump on the bandwagon.

Re: Lent 2010: The Recap

I wanted to thank you for doing this Lent thing, because it inspired me to do my own (500 words per day) Lenten promise, and while I definitely skipped days, I always made them up, so that I really DID write at least 20,000 words over those 40 days. And since Easter, I've continued the habit, writing every day if I can. I wouldn't have gotten in that habit without that inspiration, and I hope your writing continues to progress as you've hoped!

In the city, I would have just assumed it was the bad men. Out here in the country, we have whole new sets of sounds.

When I was studying for the bar exam, i used to sit down and make charts of all the time I was going to devote to studying each particular subject. In reality, I consistently spent about half the time I had budgeted and spent the rest of the time at the swimming pool or watching 'Daria' marathons on MTV. (It was the first time I'd ever had my own apartment and I didn't have to work, it was awesome). I did fine on the exam, and the goals still helped -- I had just built in an awful lot of slack.

So what i'm saying is, it sounds like you're on the right track even if it's slower than you want it to be. Also, I'm really glad you didn't hurt!

Hehe, you still crack me up.

I loved the Catholic theology rationalization that you did up there. That was golden. I have similar goals for Lent. I need to be more productive in prepping the several academic projects I want to get rolling when i/ I get into grad school. That means less internet time devoted to hobby and interests, more time trying to figure out how to merge those interests with the things which could theoretically make me money.

In short, it's time for me to become an adult.

I like your article and your rationalization. Now in days of old (my days) the choices were to either give up something you liked or doing something positive. An example is we would give up candy and then give the money we would have spent to the missions for the poor children in Pakistan. (Pakistan, you ask? My nuns had missions there.) I think your choice of writing everyday is a very positive action. I wish you well and hope very much that you succeed. I look forward to reading some. (But Sundays don't count!)

Re: My Lenten Promise: 2010

Caroline — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:22:06 -0000

This is an excellent idea! I've never participated in Lent -- it's not part of my religious upbringing -- but I've always admired when people use it to do something positive for themselves. Good luck!

Re: the greatest play you’ll probably never see

Actually, we did film it. You can pick up a copy on amazon.com, or simon and schuester online. This is the guy who played Macbeth by the way. There are also 50 minutes of special features which are pretty darn cool. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Let folks know they should buy a copy. Peace

I've only recently broken the Worldof Warcrack addiction.

Going on 3months.

I'm doing good. but I do have my cravings, it's hard when your best friends still play on it, and gush about the new patches/expansions.

I can never seem to get into the whole MMORPG scene...I tried playing City of Heroes once and wasn't really excited by it. Maybe if I give it a couple of more tries...

I know that WoW can be a difficult habit to break. You mention writing, which reminds me that November is only two months away. You could start assembling your plans for this year's Nanowrimo.

Great to hear about the singing group too. Will it be similar to previous ventures or will it be a larger group?

In time, you might want to keep a "My Murmur" page right between "About" and "Archive" for an easy one-stop repository that doesn't drop off the front page.

I am now looking at moths in a different light. Makes me proud of brave Mortimer and brave Kelly for sharing.

Love it! I encourage all moths and the fiction they inspire.
