A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.

I'm starting a new blog because

Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!

Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre Enga in Montana

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

Make a list of 20 random things (nouns). Try as hard as you can to make each item on your list as unrelated to the other items as possible. If your muse moves you, you’re welcome to add whatever commentary you like. *Wink*

acorn
bandersnatch (it came to mind, but no idea what it meant until I looked it up)
crust
doily
evidence
fumarole
glitch
hypericum (saint john's wort; we called our bush this as a child)
idol
killdeer (I thought of the peep-peep-peep of my childhood)
latch
mycelium
navel
oat
pnyx (a word I learned a long time ago... seldom used)
quorn (a recent new word for me)
rust
sapo (toad in Spanish)
thoughts (my first word for this list)
underwear
valium
wanker (feels negative, different from the rest in that respect)
x (it marks the spot... okay, so it's cliché... sue me)
yodel

These were just random thoughts. I have no idea why I chose most of these words.

In other snews:

Re my flash fictions, A thank-you to Angus :

"Thanks for all your encouragement. I do want more readers though. I could put this on the review page. I've done that in the past. For me... it's just one more chore... and I'm uncertain whether that's what I want or need. Travels distract me from focusing on my writing and with less than two weeks before I fly away that's another issue. I want to write more. I want to travel more. I want to do more. I WANT A NEW BODY! Age is creeping up on me and I'm worried about my health (and wondering whether I should share that with anyone...).

As for the contest ... I wish it generated more reviews even though I detest doing reviews myself. I would love to see it have a 'best of the month' option at the end (awardicon? merit badge? gps?). BUT, that's a lot of work for someone and may be asking too much. If I could place top 3 or 5 (honorable mentions?) in that I'd feel like I've finally written something of worth (there must be around 100 entries every month). Regardless, I plug away because it's like an addiction when I'm not traveling. But sometimes I'm clueless as to what works and why.


Flash for the day: "Petty (243 words)" 

24 syllables; "Like a sapid fig "
