shiny

The shine may be wearing off, after only one day. you write something, sort of hoping that no one reads it. then, no one reads it. You read it a few times, wonder if the aesthetic is working . . . but it's sort of lonely. So, the question: What's the point? I'm going to keep this blog up for a little bit and see if something interesting answers back. In the meantime, here is one thing my sister said that I thought was really funny in its simple truth: "The second bowl of cereal is almost always a bad idea." I love that. But, . . . who needs to hear that? Victor J. Vitanza once told me that my use of my sister's funny language in a piece I was writing for Pre/text, "didn't sound like you" (me). Funny. It wasn't me, but I'd stolen it, and I loved it. Kind of like plagiarizing a "great quote." You know you shouldn't do it . . . you should at least cite it, but you so want that to be your language that you just, kind of, take it.
