Been Around (Writer’s) Block
No, actually I haven’t. I’ve never suffered from writer’s block. I am now. Maybe it’s because I’m deep into archival research. I’m reading about dead ANZACS in Trove and Australia’s national archives and I’m not interested in talking about the latest bullshit thing.
I did watch the hockey game. I’m in love! Other than that I just don’t care to talk about it and I’m not interested in contrived controversy.
In the meantime here are some snow pics.
Frosted shrub.
Hello
The patio is full — or, rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic
The only place bikes belong in NYC
“Manhattan” means “island of many hills” - somehow I don’t think this is what they meant….
These blobs were all over the place.
They all had that one icicle hanging from behind. Must be physics. Or chemistry. Or something.
Snowed under but the sidewalk was clear.
The fan on my laptop blew. Currently debating whether to pay for a replacement or go for another laptop. Meanwhile, I’m iPad-centric now.
I talked about this with a neighbor who’s a software engineer and he uses tablets exclusively. He doesn’t even bother with laptops anymore. Hm. What do you think?
