The Missing Piece
August 2nd 2009 17:00
'You cannot roll with me,' said the Big O,
'but perhaps you can roll by yourself.'
'By myself? A missing piece cannot roll by itself.'
'Have you ever tried?' asked the Big O.
'But I have sharp corners,' said the missing piece.
'I am not shaped for rolling.'
'Corners wear off,' said the Big O, 'and shapes change.'
Shel Silverstein
One put it on a pedestal...
and left it there.

I didn't know you were going to grow.

The Frustrated Groundskeeper

Somebody has been lying in my bed.
She was an impudent, bad little girl, and set about helping herself.

I just murdered my dog
December 12th 2008 03:12
I just murdered my dog.
Well, not me, personally, the vet did the actual deed. I ordered the hit.
Jesse was a beautiful dog – a border collie cross, with large brown eyes; a pert nose so cute that is she were human people would be asking plastic surgeons for one just like it; a startling white fur collar contrasting against a kohl black coat; and pretty white shoes[ Click here to read more ]

Comments (2) network theory and writing
October 29th 2008 06:31
I am abuzz with thoughts of network theory, sparked by How Kevin Bacon Cured Cancer show on ABC last night. Apparently, Six Degrees of Separation actually works - we are all linked to Kevin Bacon after all. Math heads have found that everything - relationships, brain design, cities, the internet - are all following network theory.
It's a process whereby chaos is calmed by a natural order that shrinks individual bits into clusters called worlds. These clusters could be work groups, friendships, countries - even the way disease spreads.
Critical in these networks are hubs, or people or places that have many, many links - far above the norm. Ergo - if you want to make a network quickly, you find a hub and get that hub to work for you, connecting you to whatever you need. With people, that means finding someone who is linked in to many people to make the best of a situation. To stop diseases spreading, you find the hubs where disease can be spread to lots of people, such as an airport or a particularly sexually active person. Naturally, if you want lots of links to your website, link to a mega site hub like Google or Yahoo or whatever[ Click here to read more ]

Finally, a return to grammatical sanity
October 17th 2008 04:59
The continuing torture of the English language by school students is about to end.
The Fed Govt (Oz division) has decided to reinstate grammar, punctuation and spelling as a school subject. Thank the lords of letters
