When the mind is drained and clear, a blank canvas, creativity can happen. If all the signs and portents are in place and the planets are lined up just so. That does not describe me; not today. The huzzzz-bun's been out of town all day at a football game, so I spent the day doing "busy stuff" and "girl stuff." I'm disappointed to say that it didn't include a call from Richard Gere or a tryst with Johnny Depp or love notes from Patrick Dempsey. Of course, I had to stay occupied to escape the pain of that. Therefore, I've been so overwhelmingly busy that I'm just now getting around to thinking about blogging; i.e., something to blog about. And ... I got nothing.
What usually happens is that I'll have some stray thought which, after a little bit of gentle pontification, begins to take on the shape of an actual, bona fide topic. I have cruised the Net a few times today. I saw some true stuff, some new and newsworthy stuff, some funny stuff, some sickening stuff, and a little stuff that could have been enlightening if only someone knew how to say it in passably grammatical English. Grrrr.
Basically, however, I've still got ... nothing.
Between Roxan and me, we did manage to run to ground a few Words Gone Wild, always good for a chuckle or two.
