In my opinion, this means I will forever be single.
In everyone else's opinion, I'm probably a great catch.
I never had a chance, really.
Today was a fucking horrible day :(
We were at the vets and we'd taken both our babies in a carrier, but as they'd been misbehaving a bit lately, we'd put them both on leads. We didn't really think that through, in hindsight… Anyway, when we got to the vets, we took them out the carrier and we realised that Emilia had somehow got Gus' lead wrapped tightly around her neck. Her eyes were bulging out, all red, and she was whimpering and choking. Beth promptly burst into tears and started hyperventilating, leaving me to try and be the responsible one - I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE. I managed to get her untangled and she was OK, we got the vet to check her over, but I just feel awful.
I feel awful because Emilia is my baby girl. She really is. Beth is better at handling Gus, and I'm better at handling Emilia. Emilia is also often overlooked, because out of the two rabbits, Gus is definitely the more typically cute one, with her fluffy fur and ridiculously friendly nature. I think I'm the only one who pays her an equal amount of attention, and she repays me by letting me hug her and sitting on my shoulder :') I felt so awful seeing her in so much pain :( I know I saved her life, but right now I just want to cuddle her and never ever let her go.
She's outside in her hutch right now and I just want to take her to bed with me and snuggle up to her. She loves that :')
Well, she's fine now, and I can't change what happened. It was just a horrible eye-opener of how big a responsibility being a pet owner really is.
She bit my knee as soon as this was taken.
Your identity is
temporary, and you wear it like
a cloak, draw it tightly around
you until you could
fly. If I could part
the clouds and reveal the
bare bones beneath, I
would, but I can't get deep
enough under your
skin, into your
flesh, to find your
veins and trace them into
a map of your being. I
can't taste the scar tissue,
can't see where you begin and
where you end. You are
eternal, and yet you are
fleeting, a chameleon in
an empty room.

Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) Director Amanda Petford-Long and CNM user Adam Khan, of AKHAN Technologies, presented lectures at "The Nature of Nano" event held on December 11, 2013, at Northwestern University. The event was sponsored by C2ST, the Chicago Council on Science and Technology.
Materials scientist Amanda Petford-Long, who is also the Director of Argonne's Nanoscience and Technology Division, presented current research efforts and advances in nanotechnology. Working on new discoveries at the nanoscale, researchers at the CNM are creating new materials, methods, and technologies to address some of the world's greatest challenges in energy security, lightweight but durable materials, high-efficiency lighting, information storage, environmental stewardship, and advanced medical devices.
Three CNM postdoctoral associates also showcased their science in poster format at the event:
The C2ST program also featured the work of AKHAN Technologies, a Chicagoland-area technology firm that is using novel nanotechnology and engineering applications emerging from CNM for a variety of industrial and medical uses AKHAN Technologies, in collaboration with Argonne, has developed an energy-efficient semiconductor process that combines two newly developed diamond technologies: low-temperature nanocrystalline diamond deposition developed at CNM and an efficient semiconductor doping process (doping, or introducing impurities into semiconductors, allows them to behave more like conductors, such as metals) to create cheaper, better electronics that rely on integrated circuits — transformational to telecommunications, consumer electronics, defense, and aviation electronics.
Dr. Petford-Long has 25 years of experience in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) applied to magnetic and optical nanostructures and is interested in structure-property correlations in ferroic nanostructure, and use of in situ TEM techniques to understand domain and transport behavior in these materials.

Shows at this venue are sober shows—no BYOB, and no alcohol will be sold at the venue.
There a non-automatic door at street level that leads to a tiny concrete ramp. This ramp leads to the large show room. There is a large washroom, measurements to come.
There are no stairs or steps in the entrance. The (gender-neutral) washroom has a narrow entrance. An accessible washroom is located in a pub less than half a block away and we talking to the owners to see if Art Bank attendees can make use of it at no charge during the festival.
front door: 5 feet width
front door step: 6 inch height
ramp: 31 inch width
washroom door: 33 inch width
toilet: 10 inch clearance on left side

There is one gender-neutral washroom.
The entrance is street-level with no stairs or steps and is one meter wide. The gender-neutral washroom located past a narrow hallway with a sharp 90 degree turn. We are currently attempting to source an alternate washroom option.
Kickstand has a 32" gate with three steps leading down into a large basement space, with one gender neutral washroom.
This show here is taking place outdoors in a grassy backyard which can be approached from a paved alley way. The gender-neutral washroom inside the house must be reached through two flights of stairs. We are currently sourcing a nearby accessible washroom option.

We are currently sourcing another washroom option for this event, but something close by may not be available. We apologize for this exclusion.
All shows are all ages!
We are working on a safer spaces team to be present at as many shows as possible. This team will have identifying arm bands, will be sober, and will be accountable as active listeners and defusing unsafe situations.

After a long wait amidst the cancelled shows last summer and the departure of original bass player David "Murph" Murphy, STS9 came back to Red Rocks Amphitheater with retribution. For our patience and gratitude throughout the year, the band rewarded us with 7 hours, and 58 tracks of the most diverse music a fan could ask for. STS9 played 3 sets each night with a short set from the Lazy Americanz (presented by The J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League) as they performed their legendary "in the round" set.
From their debut performances at the Village Gate, a historic jazz club located on the west side of Lower Manhattan, to their high-profile collaborations with an eclectic variety of musicians, avant-jazz funk trio Medeski, Martin & Wood have developed a signature style that has continued to push the boundaries of American jazz for the last 23 years.
When it's January in Florida, that means it's time for the annual Sunshine Music and Blues Festival to bring some great music to the state. And this year promises to be the biggest and best yet! Once again headlined by the award-winning Tedeschi Trucks Band the 2015 Sunshine Music & Blues Festival features our best line-up yet of exciting acts on two live music stages along with a wider array of refreshing craft beers and delectable menus from a wider variety of food vendors.

Southern Soul Assembly—an artist-in-the-round performance series featuring JJ Grey, Marc Broussard, Anders Osborne and Luther Dickinson—recently announced its highly anticipated follow-up tour, set to hit west coast venues this November.

GRAMMY® Award-nominated banjo virtuoso Noam Pikelny's critically acclaimed album, Noam Pikelny Plays Kenny Baker Plays Bill Monroe, has been nominated for "Album of the Year" at the 25th International Bluegrass Music Awards, coming up in Raleigh, NC on Thursday, Oct. 2, 2014. An extremely rare nod for an all-instrumental recording, Pikelny is also nominated for Banjo Player of the Year, and best liner notes.
Hot Rize has not toured more than a few select festival dates and concerts since 1990. That all changes in September as they embark on their first major tour in almost 25 years in support of their new studio album, reclaiming their unique position where tradition and innovation collide.
From the first notes of "Gospel Train," as Melody Walker's soaring voice entwines around the phrase "I woke up with heaven on my mind," you'll hear that Front Country isn't your usual bluegrass band. When the fiddle and distorted acoustic guitar come crashing into the song like roaring waves, rushing back and forth with swelling ferocity, you'll know that this is bluegrass unleashed, American roots music that refuses to be constrained.
Absynth Quintet just released of their long-awaited album, Telepathy of Glowbugs. The 12-track self-released album features a number of brand new songs along with special guest sit-ins with Matt Eakle (David Grisman Quintet) on Flute and Sony recording artist Jenny Scheinman on Violin.
Blue Lotus has been featured as part of Relix magazine's "Bands on the Rise" in 2012 and 2013; and awarded "Best New Act", "Favorite Female Performer", "Best Instrumentalist" and "Favorite Local Band" by the WOW hall in Eugene OR. This award winning group is quickly becoming the next up and coming rock and roll jam band.
Road-warriors The Revivalists are proud to announce another round of tour dates through the end of the year, including a repeat appearance at Voodoo Music + Arts Festival in their Big Easy home-turf and New Years Eve at the iconic Georgia Theatre in Athens. Additional new dates also include November performances at Old Rock House in St.

The decline of son preference and rise of gender indifference in Taiwan since 1990
|Date received:

|Date published:
|16 Apr 2009
|Word count:
|education, gender indifference, son preference, Taiwan
This study explores the change of married women's sex preference for children in Taiwan since 1990, finding that there was a substantial decline of son preference and rise of "gender indifference", defined as feeling indifferent about children's sex (as opposed to desiring an equal number of boys and girls, in which the sex of children is still a primary consideration). Results show that at the individual level female education was the strongest predictor for the preference; education was negatively associated with son preference and positively with gender indifference. Cohort difference was noticeable as well. Younger cohorts were better educated than older ones hence they were more neutral about the sex and less adherent to the traditional male preference. In addition from 1992 to 2002 there was a universal intra cohort movement toward gender neutrality and away from son preference. When the younger cohorts gradually replaced the older ones as the main child bearers in Taiwanese society, at the aggregate level son preference declined and gender indifference rose.

TEAMS: Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat
The Chicago Bulls haven't provided a definitive answer when asked if point guard Derrick Rose is done playing for the remainder of the season. Rose continued the vague discussion and continued to give Bulls fans hope of his return, as he told reporters -- including Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago -- that his status for the team's second-round series against the Miami Heat is "still up in the air."Rose said Monday that his status is "still up in the air. I might have a chance," although coach Tom Thibodeau ruled him out for Game 1.Thibodeau echoed this uncertain sentiment, replying with "we'll see" when asked about Rose's availability for the second-round series.Rose missed game one as he continues to recover from knee surgery. While he's been cleared medically, Rose continues to have difficulties with what appear to be mental issues. It was recently reported that he's struggling with muscle memory, as he doesn't feel he has complete control over what his body does."It's definitely hard but I know that this will be over with pretty soon. Who knows when it's going to stop, but I can't just get down on myself," Rose said Monday.The Heat and coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters that they entered the series with Rose in the back of their minds. Most don't believe they need to, but Rose and the Bulls won't shut the door on a potential return.Follow @hoopsinjurynews

Back At The Dunk Sunday vs. Hartford Wolf Pack
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins defeated the Portland Pirates 3-2 Friday evening in a shootout at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. The P-Bruins got goals in regulation from Vladimir Sobotka and Byron Bitz, while the shootout goal came from Peter Schaefer. The P-Bruins are back at home at the Dunkin' Donuts Center Sunday versus the Hartford Wolf Pack at 4:05 p.m. for Jeremy Reich Poster Night.
After two scoreless periods, the Pirates took a 1-0 lead at the 2:33 mark of the third period. Felix Schutz netted his fourth goal of the season, while Jimmy Bonneau and Derek Whitmore had the assists. Providence tied the game at one at the 5:20 mark. Martin St. Pierre played the puck from behind the P-Bruins net up the left boards to Martins Karsums. He fed Sobotka at the blue line, giving Sobotka a breakaway. Sobotka flipped the puck into the net for his sixth goal of the season. Portland retook the lead at the 7:50 mark. Whitmore scored his second goal of the season, with Nathan Gerbe and Schutz getting the assists. The P-Bruins tied the game at two at the 14:17 mark of the period. Andrew Bodnarchuk sent the puck out of his own zone allowing Bitz and Wacey Rabbit to skate down the ice. Rabbit dropped the puck off for Bitz in front of the net and Bitz tallied his third goal of the season.
In the shootout, both goaltenders stood strong as the only player to score on either side was Schaefer, allowing the P-Bruins to pick up the 3-2 victory.
Kevin Regan stopped 24 of 26 shots for the P-Bruins, while Jhonas Enroth made 31 saves for the Pirates. The P-Bruins were 0-for-7 on the power play and 5-for-5 on the penalty kill.
The P-Bruins travel to the MassMutual Center Saturday to take on the Springfield Falcons at 7:00 p.m., before returning home to The Dunk Sunday against the Wolf Pack for Jeremy Reich Poster Night at 4:05 p.m. Information on P-Bruins tickets can be obtained by calling the team ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or by logging onto the team website at providencebruins.com.

First--call me Stephanie. Although, I do like to fancy myself the "Norma Rae" of the Midwest. Second, where to start with your very thoughtful response?! Perhaps start with the ending--I love the imagery you've conjured with the apple tree. Are you creating your own tree of knowledge of "good and evil"? And if so, what does that mean actually and/or metaphorically? In any event, I love it!
I wish this idea was something that I "was onto." I'm late to the party here; this research was conducted in '71--before I was even incarnate this time around! Anyone know of other similar studies?
I am intrigued by not only the idea that plants may be of ET origin (as we humans are likely as well), but more importantly that reconnecting ourself to the sanctity of nature is the key to our connection (or reconnection?) to all those other sentient beings in other universes and dimensions. I mean...that is a phenomenally simple and revolutionary idea, no?!

those shoes are cool, comfortable and above all vegan!
Since buying one pair to try, i now continue to buy them , I've gone through 4 pairs and just ordered 2 more, fits like a glove and comfort of a slipper , not as bulky as other skate shoes .
Great looking, excellent fit on my size 12 feet, and very comfortable.
Christopher M Pollack
Fits as it should. Very stiff out of the box, but a great looking shoe and value.
Perfect. Simple. No complaints.
Juan Jauregui
Great Product!!! Has the Style and the Confort that i want. Etnies as good as usuall
Lortet Benjamin
Really comfortable and stylish shos , but a bit expensive. Thx !
Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Reg L Carver
it's impossible to explain just how good these shoes are until you try them for yourself. Best sneakers I've ever owned - easily! (I have about half dozen pairs now.)
And the other thing - if a problem occurs (I've never experienced a one, but have had conversation with customer service rep), just let Etnies know and they will make sure you are taken care of.
Bottom line, if you don't give Etnies line of shoes a try, you simply don't know what you are missing. If you do give them a chance, you will be so happy you did.
I need the gum color on the soles! What happened to all the colors with gum soles! I need more than just black!

Ararat/Ağri Daği
Ararat, from the southwest.
|Ağrı Dağı:
in eastern Turkey that is commonly known as Ararat. The Turkish
name means "mountain of pain" and is a rendering of Çiyaye
Agiri, which in Kurmanji (the language of the Kurds) means "the fiery
mountain". In Armenian, it is called Massis. A satellite photo can be
found here.
Ağrı Dağı, to use a name that does not create a famous misunderstanding, is a stratovolcano, which means that it is essentially an isolated cone that was built by the eruption of lava, ashes, and pyroclastic flows. As a consequence, it becomes very steep when one approaches the summit, which rises more than 3½ km above the plain and reaches a total height of about 5123 m. The violent way in which it was formed, explains why Ağrı Dağı looks so much like other stratovolcanoes (e.g., Etna and Vesuvius).
Ararat from Doğubeyazıt; photo Frans Wendel
Ararat, from the south.
"Isolated", though, the conic mountain is only because there are no other summits in the direct neighborhood. At some distance, however, one can find the Little Ağrı Dağı, and several other volcanoes. The photo to the left shows the Ağrı Dağı in the distance, and in the foreground a nineteenth-century flow of volcanic, molten stones, which are from another volcano called Tendürek.
Still, the snow-capped Ararat is the largest and most impressive of all summits in eastern Turkey, and was the center of the ancient kingdoms of Urartu and Armenia, which are essentially the valley of the river Araxes (north of the mountain) and the area surrounding Lake Van (south of the mountain).
The summit, from the south.
Impressive as it is, it is only logical that Ağrı Dağı has been identified in the Middle Ages with the mountain mentioned in the Bible as the site of Noah's disembarking after the Great Flood, the Ararat (Genesis 8.4). This identification, however, is incorrect. The Bible does not refer to a summit called Ararat, but to "the mountains of Ararat", and this proper name refers to the kingdom of Urartu (cf. Jeremiah 51.27).
Ancient Jewish authors and early translators of the Bible were well aware that there was no mountain called Ararat. The author of the second-century BCE Book of Jubilees (5.28, 10.15) states that the Ark landed on "Mount Lubar" in "the land of Ararat", and the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus knew that "Ararat" referred to a summit south of Lake Van. He also records a tradition that identified Noah's landing site with Mount Baris in a country north of the Tigris called Gordyene (Jewish Antiquities, 1.93). Josephus adds that in his days, bitumen could still be found near the site of the Ark.
Ararat, seen from the northwest.
Babylonian sources concur. In his account of the Flood, Berossus also refers to the presence of bitumen near the place where the Ark landed, the Epic of Gilgameš (text) also refers to mountains in what is now Kurdistan, and the Quran speaks of Al-Gudi (text). The author of Jubilees, Flavius Josephus, the Babylonian writers, and the Quran have retained an older tradition, which puts the Ark's landing site between Lake Van and the Tigris. This must be the site which the ancients believed was the location of the final act of the story of the Flood, where the hero disembarked and sacrificed.
It may perhaps be identified with a summit northeast of modern Cizre called Cudi Dağı (satellite), where eastern Christians -unaware of the identification of Ararat with Ağrı Dağı made in the West- and Muslims still venerate the tomb of Noah/Nuh.

Cancer Center Seminar Series: Green Nanomedicine: From Black-eyed Peas to Nanotechnology
Friday, February 3
Please join us Friday, February 3 for the next Cancer Center Seminar Series where Dr. Nicole Steinmetz, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering at CWRU, will present Green Nanomedicine: From Black-eyed Peas to Nanotechnology.
Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize materials science and medicine. Currently, a number of different nanoparticles are being investigated for applications in imaging and therapy. The Steinmetz Lab focuses on engineering viral nanoparticles (VNPs). The VNPs of interest are harmless plant-derived materials such as the cowpea mosaic virus, brome mosaic virus, potato virus X, tobacco mosaic virus, and various others. From a materials scientist's point of view VNPs are attractive building blocks for several reasons: the particles are monodisperse, can be produced with ease in an indoor greenhouse, are exceptionally stable, and biocompatible. VNPs are "programmable" units, which can be specifically engineered using genetic modification or chemical bioconjugation methods.
The Steinmetz Lab's interest lies in the engineering of VNPs for applications in medicine: tissue-specific imaging, drug-delivery, and tissue engineering. The goal is to develop multifunctional VNPs that are displaying i) targeting ligands to direct the VNPs to sites of disease while avoiding healthy tissues, ii) imaging molecules that allow to track the nanoparticles or to image diseased tissues, and iii) therapeutic molecules to treat diseased cells and tissues. Such "smart" nanodevices are expected to open the door for the development of next-generation therapies and improved detection methods. Cancer nanotechnology has the potential to become clinical reality.
In this lecture, Dr. Steinmetz will highlight the properties of viral nanoparticles and give examples of how these materials can be engineered to become useful for applications in medicine.

Clinical Trial Year-End Summary
Message from Dr. Neal Meropol, Associate Director for Clinical Research, Case CCC
We have just compiled the year-end data for clinical trial accrual in 2011. Congratulations are in order for Case CCC clinical researchers and everyone involved in the conduct of clinical trials! Our overall accrual to therapeutic clinical trials in 2011 was 911, with 474 accruals at CCF, 414 at UH, and 23 at affiliate sites. Our totals represent a 6% increase over 2010, and a 14% increase over 2009. Of special note is that 47 clinical trials had enrollment at both UH/Case and CCF, representing 248 patients (182 in 2010).
This success is a true team effort, with many thanks to our research nurses, data managers, regulatory staff, finance groups, and everyone involved in patient recruitment, treatment, and specimen processing. As we begin 2012, we are poised to build upon these accomplishments with further collaboration across the consortium, increased investigator-initiated high impact clinical trials, and expanded opportunities for our patients to take part in research.
Cancer IRB Transition
The IRB review responsibilities of Case Comprehensive Cancer Center Institutional Review Board (Cancer IRB) were transitioned to the IRB offices and committees of the University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC) on December 12, 2011 and to the Cleveland Clinic (CC) beginning on October 24, 2011. Approvals by the Cancer IRB will remain in effect until further review is undertaken by the UHCMC or CC IRB. All new cancer and cancer-related protocols will be submitted to the IRB of the lead Principal Investigator's institution using their existing electronic systems (iMedRIS at UHCMC and WebKit at CC). The same procedures apply to amendments, continuing reviews, SAEs, deviations and other protocol-related actions on currently active protocols that were processed and approved previously by the Cancer IRB. These activities will be reviewed by the IRB of the lead Principal Investigator's institution which will be the IRB of record.
It remains a high priority of the Case CCC to foster clinical research collaborations between the UHCMC and CC. To that end, the IRBs of each hospital have agreed to accept the approval of the other site in a facilitated review arrangement. Thus, opening of clinical trials at both sites requires only a single full board review at the site of the lead investigator.
All cancer and cancer-related research protocols will continue to be submitted to the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center Protocol Review and Monitoring Committee (Case CCC PRMC) for scientific review and approval, prior to review and approval by the respective institutional IRB.

Buffering [Sonny Payne]
When I was a percussionist in high school, we were responsible for keeping the jazz band, full orchestra, concert band, and marching band in time, and we did so through a haze of marijuana and hormones and passed-down stories of some guy's uncle who saw Gene Krupa perform a 12-minute solo using every part of a high hat while eschewing the rest of the kit. And to this day, when I see videos like this, I get an urge to skip class and go make out with a bassoonist in a sound-proof practice room. After all, life is short, and lunch period is even shorter.
Did you read that? That was swell. One hundred five words. Less than half a page.
That's all it took for this person (whom I'm pretty sure I've never met) to make my day. Now I want to follow this person or star this person or favr this person or whatever the fuck au courant verb box I need to mash on in order to see more things like that.
Yes, I realize I am — already, again, seemingly forever — carrying on like that weird relative who always smells of gin and Starlight mints as he threatens to "set you up with a sweet Doobie Brothers mix." I love Starlight mints, but please don't misunderstand me.
I genuinely enjoy looking at oversaturated pictures of coltish women I'll never meet. I'm always game to make fun of "improperly" punctuated "signs." And God knows I love reading (and posting) elliptical quotes from famous books I never finished reading. Stipulated.
But, brother. Do I ever wish more people would write little stories like Buffering's. It's just so wonderful. You know?
I mean, Jesus Christ, people, LOOK. We have keyboards! Literally right in front of us. Right this second.
You have one, too, right? See it? Really look. No, look down. Down there. No, not that. That's your enormous energy drink. No, not that either. That's your ironic Garfield lamp.
Okay, here: Remember last week when your phone battery croaked, but you were frantic to tell something called a Facebook wall that you were "yeah still po0opn lots since teh yuck tacoz rofl bt OTOh fuck yeah top up my side salad for xtra dollar bitch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Remember that? Okay, good. That. That was the keyboard that you were using then. It's the keyboard that helped make the Facebook wall get your words on it. That was the clackity noise. That was the keyboard.
Please use that keyboard to talk about your life sometimes.
Your real life. Not just the canned version of life on which we slap adhesive labels like happy or sad, poor or rich, employed or unemployed, "eating lunch" or "hatin' life", "it's complicated" or "serial entrepreneur," "meh" or "whatever."
Tear off your fucking labels.
Tell me something that happened. Use the names of people you'd forgotten about, and say what you'd thought would happen but didn't. Write down what part of the song was playing when you slammed the door only to realize you had to go back inside for your car keys. Can you remember when you were still little enough to hide under the kitchen sink where it smelled like ammonia and Comet and old sponges? What was the color of the clunky old car your Dad would let you help steer. What brand did he smoke?
My Dad smoked Winstons, from a red and gold pack that never seemed to empty. Lots and lots of Winstons. And, I loved when my Dad would let me help steer the vomit-green Pontiac with the plastic seats down the maniac curves of Boomer Road. I'd sit on his lap in this giant, ridiculous automobile, with cigarette smoke swirling around our heads and out the cracked window, listening to a Reds game on WLW, laughing and steering.
My Dad had the same name as me and he never should have smoked as much as he did. And, I swear to God, thirty-five years later, I can still see his big hands on the wheel, and still smell those Winstons, and still hear Joe Nuxhall's call, as Pete Rose stretches another double into an impossible head-first triple, and as I type this, I'm just remembering that whenever we were pulling out of my Grandparents' driveway, my Dad would always flip the vomit-green Pontiac's lights on and off three times. Blink. Blink. Blink.
That's how we said goodbye.
Okay, so, that's what was in my keyboard just now. I didn't know it was in there when I sat down to compliment Buffering on his 105 words that made me think about how I love little stories. This is why writing is fucked up and awesome and makes a 42-year-old man cry about cigarettes and Pete Rose and an ugly green car on a perfectly temperate Sunday afternoon.
Your keyboard will have different things in it than mine does, of course. But, it's impossible to know what's in there until you've made the clackity noise for a few minutes. You think you know what's in there. But you don't. It's not your brain that makes the clackity noise, it's your fingers.
Your brain helps you to breathe and to buy beer and to pretend to understand Kant and to use Spanish to ask the hot waitress for "mas salsa," and, thank God, your brain is a boon companion at helping you avoid deadly attacks by bears, monsters, and SEO marketers.
But, your brain's a piece-of-shit writer. I know this, because mine is too. So, let me assure you that there's no point in waiting for your brain to start making the clackity noise for you. It can't. That's all on you, and on me, and on each of our extant fingers.
Weird thing is I still have to relearn this every single day. Hand to God. The only way I can tell I'm relearning this is I notice that the keyboard has been making the clackity noise for several contiguous minutes. I see that words have started to come out and sometimes they're good and almost always they're not and increasingly I'm not all that worried about it either way.
I've learned that my job is to just sit down and start making the clackity noise. If I make the clackity noise long enough every day, the "writing" seems to take care of itself. On the other hand, if there's no clackity noise, no writing. No little stories. The stories may be in there, alongside God knows what else, but there's no way to know. You must make the noise.
You can totally do this. I know you know that. I mean to say, I know you know you know that you own a fucking keyboard and understand how to use it.
But, you do need to be reminded of what that keyboard can help you make. I need to be reminded. Everybody needs to be reminded. Just because we know it doesn't mean we're actually making the clackity noise happen. Far from it.
Maybe just try it. You don't even have to show anyone. Make the clackity noise until a little story falls out. Just a little bit and just for a little while. Just until you notice one tiny, dumb, pointless story that the keyboard wanted you to remember.
Today, the clackity noise helped me remember my Dad. I wonder who's in your keyboard and what brand he's smoking.
Anyhow. Thanks, Buffering.
I was also in band, I enjoyed pot, and I still think Gene Krupa is the tits.
Yep. Little stories are the internet's native and ideal art form.
Apart from the coltish women, the email from old friends, and the low-bit WAV files of Dr. Who quotes, I think it was the little stories that got me most excited about hearing that modem start to hiss. It's definitely what keeps me excited today.
Little dumb stories that I never expected.
