Writers block. What a fancy name for being temporarily stupid. The fact of the matter is, it describes the writers' head at the time. I'm looking in the mirror... I see vacuous eyes, a tossled head of hair (NOT!), a slack jaw, a general look of unkemptness and lack of purpose. I did get an email from a reader, suggesting that I write about the presidential election... but the sad fact is, I know nothing about politics (not that that really matters, or has kept me from writing about something before...), and what I guess at, I feel really strongly about. So this would wind up being a rant, and not a real essay. A very anti-right-wing rant, I might add. Actually, I'm trying to stay out of politics this year, as much as I can. I will vote, of course! But I won't research anything this year, and I won't worry about it one way or the other... I don't really have the time or the energy.
I did get a good night's sleep last night. Got up about 09:00, Karen got up at 10:00, and I went back to bed for a short nap at 11:30 or so. Karen was going to wake me up in an hour, but she went over to Kim's instead; I woke up at 04:10, and the day was essentially gone. I didn't get the mower fixed today, or a bunch of other things, either. But I did sleep a lot; for me, that's an accomplishment!
Karen and I are going to see A time to Kill now. We were planning on seeing Phenomenon but they only had matinees today, for some stupid reason. So they blew it.
A Time to Kill was a pretty good movie. I thought that it glorified alcoholism, but then, so do a lot of other movies. But it didn't need to, it had a lot of merits without the lovable alcoholic being in there. The principles behind the story and the acting were excellent, I thought. And Karen loved it.
There is an updated link on the Links page, Why Christians Suck has moved...
Enough for tonight, I guess.
As a matter of fact, I did get several other suggestions, none of which caught my fancy or were within my level of competence. But I do thank you for your ideas. I guess I'll have to struggle through this one myself.
