I cannot send these links to my father, who would react like I did -- I was screaming in laughter. But the weird thing? These menus are completely serious. I searched all around the site and it's true. This guy has not a shred of humor about what he's doing here. Any further comment on this would be overkill. Except that it comes from the Particles sidenar at Making Light.
On a related front, you know that John Brown story I've been working on? It's really difficult but I swear I will get it done by the deadline. I have a week. Anyway, while we were trundling around the Bay Area Tuesday to celebrate Frank and Emma's birthday, we were talking about it and it suddenly hit me just what I was writing:
--- an old man, with a long beard and strong principles about freedom, justice and equality, lies dying, while his young friends gather round him to care for him, to talk philosophy and politics with him, and go off at intervals to make revolution
For the sake of the anthology I've been trying to make him Osama bin Laden but in my heart John Brown is my father.
Which is only one reason it's hard to write.
The "update journal" box is doing something very strange right now. Every new word appears on the line below the sentence it belongs to and jumps up to the proper line after I hit the space bar and type the first letter of the next word. It's really disconcerting. Especially at the end of paragraphs, where it doesn't jumnp into place until after I hit the return key. And if I backspace the word jumps back down to its own line. This has never happened to me before. I can only hope it doesn't affect the final appearance of the post.
