I have continued to post photos in my “daily, as available” Frost on the Window series at JPGMag.com. They’re fascinating to work with, and I’m eager to take as many different photos as I can while we still have cold enough weather for it.
Finally getting caught up on my Perpetual Poetry Postcards activities. The key to that was getting the adhesive postcard backs, where I can mount my photo art on the adhesive side. Really PostcardArt.net for a change! I’m having a lot of fun with it.
My poor laptop is rapidly wearing out, and I am considering retiring it in favor of a Asus eee PC 1000 HE. I am lured by the 9.5 hour battery life (as long as one is not doing anything strenuous with it.) I can adapt to only having one shift key, if I can have my “n” key back without having to hit it two or three times whenever I need the letter to appear on the screen.
The postcard writing prompts are turning out to be a lot of fun, even though I am using my own photographs. The weekly postcard mailings were supposed to begin the 5th of January. So far, I have mailed three and received three. If I can continue, now, to turn out one a day, I actually should be able to get caught up by the end of next week.
I enjoyed proofreading the upcoming Star*Line, the Jan./Feb. issue. I remember when I used to read stuff and then write reviews and put them on my web site. My most major problem with regard to writing honest reviews was my concern about hurting the feelings of the writers. Well, it shouldn’t have been. All too many writers are disinclined to believe that what’s said in “bad” reviews may be an authentic response to what they are writing.
Anyway, I see such multiplicity at this point that I hesitate to voice any opinions. Words are too flat really to convey meaning adequately. I need more dimensions for accurate expression.
The really good news is that eight days after my last overwhelming (3-minute) fragrance exposure, I finally have recovered for the most part from its effects. I certainly don’t want to let that happen again anytime soon.
I do hate being confined to such a narrow stream of activities for so long at a stretch.
