caught between Scylla and Charybdis

And you see a girl’s brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.

The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,
And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter.

Tales of Brave Ulysses by Cream.

Sunship Balloons will never talk about himself in the third person.

Except maybe to be ironic or as example. Why is that such a popular habit in the blogging world, a la “Sunship Balloons will never talk about himself in the third person.” No. “I will never talk about myself in the third person..” Geesh. What am I, an NFL star? It’s bad enough when those egomaniacs do it, why does it have to spread to the semi-real life of the internet (blogsphere is yet another word I will not use, except referentially).

Let’s do it once…

Frustration is setting in

Why won’t WordPress save my target=”_blank” html??? Is it so bad to have links open in new windows?

2005-12-26: Yay, target=”_blank” is working. Hooray!
