This postMy mind is a bit slow at the moment, so instead of struggling to pull together a coherent post, here are a few really short tidbits:
1. For the statistically minded, this is my 1,011th post, and as of right now there are 2,990 comments on this blog. My guess, though, is that nobody cares about this but me. :)
2. Interesting post on The Storytellers about why comedians are quick.
3. I’m racking my memory trying to see if I have any stories that can compare to toilet paper crystals, but alas, my childhood must have been rather uneventful.
4. I’ve found that when I wake up in the morning (at, say, 5 or so) and then go back to sleep, it’s always in that separated hour that I have the most vivid dreams. I’m almost tempted to set a second alarm early just for that purpose — you know, story ideas and such — but I have a feeling my roommate would kill me. (Incidentally, I’m blessed in that I don’t really have nightmares, but I feel for those who do.)
6. Also from Fire & Knowledge, an thought-provoking line from Wendell Berry: “You cannot lose your land and remain free; if you keep your land, you cannot be enslaved.” I don’t really think about land. Maybe I should.
