The day so far: awakened by a wrong number (they were speaking Hindi, I think), checked email, Twitter, and Ff while still in bed. Contemplated going to the gym.
it's noon here too. I've already made pain perdu, cleaned out the flowerbeds for the winter, put away grill and deck furniture, and had my minion mow the lawn for the last time. Parenthood leads to efficiency. I recommend against it ;-)

Damn DJF. I'm tired just reading that (also still in bed)

I'm this close to deleting all of my web properties. I get like this every once in awhile, but this time it feels real and right. Why am I doing this? Why am I creating all of this content? I can't come up with a compelling reason, but maybe I should just walk away. I know from experience that impulsive actions always bite me in the @$$.
I get that way, too. I almost deleted my FF account this week. I think it's a suicide substitute. If you want me to take your keys, DM me.

Walking away from the properties for a week--or a month--doesn't cause irreparable damage. Actually deleting them? A lot more final.
- Walt Crawford
Yeah, just leave them be for a while first. You aren't thinking of leaving FF too are you?
- Yolanda
Back them all up in case of a position reversal. No need of throwing it all in the fire without recourse.
- Roney Smith
I'd hate to see you go, C. Maybe back away from the keyboard for a bit? Holler at me if you need to.

i'm getting stalked online and I wonder if I should do the same, but I really like the stuff I've made, useless as it may be.

I've crashed and burned accounts before (twitter, vox, plurk, etc) Every once in a while I find myself wishing I'd at least kept the Vox blog entries but then I get over it. I'm not saying this is what you should do. Merely sharing. Take a break from it. If you still feel the same after a week or two, then you'll know that's the right decision for you.

pea, you're the queen of this! I've had the thought, of course. but I've been online so long that it just feels like a part of me.
- jbrotherlove
J it used to feel like a part of me. Now it feels like a chapter of my life that really wants to be closed.
- cecily
Of course, earlier today I was musing about moving everything over to TypePad, so I'm just being my typical flaky, indecisive self.
- cecily
J, that's because I consider my "real" content to be my blog. I've NEVER and would NEVER delete my blog. If I were to lose that, oh holy hell, I'd have a breakdown. The other stuff? It's like side dishes with a great steak. They'd enhance the meal, but I'd still enjoy the steak without them.

I did some consolidation at the beginning of October. I really only post to two web identities now (typepad and tumblr) with them all cross-posting to other locations (facebook and friendfeed) in ways that I'm happy with and it feels like I'm running the web instead of the web running me. I just don't have time to keep up with everything on all these different social media destinations...

That's the difference, I suppose. I don't think people are interested in what I'm up to. Heck, most of the time, I'm not even interested in what I'm up to, so why pepper the web with it?
- cecily

I don't assume people are interested in what I'm doing. I'm down to blogging when the mood hits, when the words get all tangled in my head and I need to write. That a few folks are sweet enough to take time out of their day to visit my blog(s) is purely a bonus.

last time I felt that way I consolidated and felt better for a while. don't kill your memories!

I wish I could delete memories. If only Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind wasn't a work of fiction.

DUDE. Xanadu was included on this ELO greatest hits album!
That's good. I just downloaded 4 Xanadu tracks the other night (because of you) because they weren't included on the greatest hits I already had.

I'm happy to have been a bad influence in this case :-)

Wondering if I've outgrown my bathing suit. Too afraid to find out, but if I'm planning to hit aquafit this morning, I'd better face that demon head on.

don't know what to say as a child I never saw it as black and white,yellow or red,brown or tan,I hate how everything as to be broken down that way

I love Midnight Oil, and while I really like their early stuff (especially from the 10, 9, 8.... album) my favourite song of theirs is The Dead Heart. The guitars. The harmonies. Just great stuff.
- cecily
The guitar intro in this song reminds me of another song, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. (for MWM's Aussie playlist)

Aye... both the loop and the other... maybe reminds of two songs and that is why it is difficult to figure out.
- Michael W. May
The two background parts sounds like something U2... the doot doot part sounds like... Bowie? tickling the Bowie part of my brain at least.
- Michael W. May
A little U2, but something older... much older. And it's killing me that I can't put my finger on it.

I've just been transported back to my uni days. Thanks Cecily!

But you don't have any Hoodoo Gurus in there!

That would be because I've not given them proper listening to as of yet. I have quite of a bit of them, but haven't educated myself. I'll toss some in the random mix, though.

"ATLANTA -- A MARTA bus driver is on suspension following allegations that he forced passengers to pray before allowing them to exit the bus. Christopher James was one of those passengers. James said, initially, he thought something was wrong when he rang the bell to get off the bus and the door didn’t open. James said the bus driver asked him and three other passengers to join hands in prayer. James said the driver prayed with the group for about four minutes. A MARTA representative told Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones that the transit agency suspended the bus driver, identified as Leroy Matthews, for five days and told him not to proselytize to passengers. Matthews has been with MARTA for six years."

I would have pressed kidnapping charges -- assuming I would have been able to keep myself from kicking open the door, or kicking the bus driver's ass.

I feel like going to the stationers, buying some cards, and mailing them to people.
