You'll see a lot of changes on the blog in the upcoming period, be they template, picture, or whatever.
I'm trying to figure out what I want, how I want it, etc. I've never blogged before, so the learning curve is steep.
The best way to imagine it is the following analogy. Suppose there's a man who loves reading books, and reads books all the time. One day he says, "You know what, I'll write a book!" And he does. And he lives happily ever after.
But suppose that another man, in addition to writing his masterpiece and forging in the smithy of his soul the uncreated conscience of his race, suppose this man has to make that book. Like, physically. Like, he has to make the paper, forge a printing press, harvest (see? I don't even know the word to use) ink, tan hide for a leather cover, and bind it all up
I am that second man, and right now, I am in the forest, desperately trying to mash a log into pulp. Paper comes from pulp.
This much I know.
Wish me luck, and soon I will regale one and all with tales of the ink harvest and the battles against the mighty squids from whence it comes.

When a man engages in such awesome tasks as harvesting the ink of the tentacled squid it is incumbent upon him to provide us, his followers, with a steady, uninterupted supply of seasoned and fried calamari.
ReplyDeleteHe must further make a good faith effort to provide marinara sauce after the annual Tomato Stampede from whence it so beautifully comes.
