There is simply nothing that beats experimentation, is there?
Trial and terror is more like it. There are at least a zillion
others who do this far better than I'll know how to do any time
soon.
So, we go an add some widgets, and see how they play together.
They could be like scrappy children and grab all the attention
for themselves. Could be. Will see soon enough. If those widgets
get too noisy and obstreperous, I'll just kick them to the curb.
Don't get too excited now while I muck around in here trying to
see what fits, and what doesn't. Hope I don't break this thing,
or else it will be me that is kicked to the curb.
Now where did my "Conversation With God" go? I sure hope it is
somewhere to be found floating in thin air.
My sister once said to me about blogging: "I don't like blogs
and I don't even like people who write blogs." Needless to say,
she has never done one.
COLD PRESS
- Gwen Beauregard
- Montreal, Quebec, Canada
- i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.

FROM MY DESK
I tell you, these weblogs are not for
the squeamish. Not for nothing that this
rank amateur has not worked Cold Press I & II
since 2004-2009. It is now 2011.
Who actually reads these things anyway? (Me?)
It seems to me that most people, outside the
professional bloggers who write *serious* stuff,
are more likely to read themselves than to read other
people. That's been my personal experience of things
as they are.
I think it requires a bit of mashochism or conversely
narcissism, or a bit of both, to even begin to
entertain the thought that anybody ought to give a
hoot what one thinks, or does, or says and still take
oneself seriously.
I do not.
I learned far more than I ever wished to learn via
Stumbling into and onto StumbleUpon in the intervening
years between 2007 and 2011 about the good, the bad and
the ugly side of *blogging* in general.
Anathema to my personal friends and nothing short of
hideous to any members of my extended family who look
aghast at such matters as blogging and bloggers.
Smartly, none of them do it. "We don't like blogs and
especially don't like bloggers." "They aren't *real*"
Such public displays of hubris is unseemly.
I must therefore have loads of hubris to spare, and not
a little exhibitionism thrown in for good measure.
Wonder how long I can keep this up?
Making an appointment tomorrow to see my Analyst.
Could be far more productive.

SANDY CLAWS IS COMING TO TOWN
I saw Sandy Claws and his reindeer passing overhead the last couple of nights, so you'd better be good, better be nice or he won't be passing your house any time soon. I'll pray for you. ;)
To each and all,
A healthy, happy, peaceful, joyous HOLIDAY SEASON!
Be well
Keep safe
Live lightly
And remember to always hold your pets close and your family even closer.
Kindest regards,
Gwen
