Monday, May 24th, 19997:46 PM, Monday evening: a wan, moist ambient light has been wrapped around this day — a span of hours that has also been accented by static-like rain showers and a chilly crispness in the air. It’s the aloof, cool face of Spring.
The previous week was weird for me — full of unexpected things and uncertain situations. It has spun me into today with a feeling of change and new beginnings. I’ve been shifting things, in personal space as well as cyber. Nothing really huge on the inside; more a new outlook than anything else. As for the outside, well, the website wrapped around this journal has certainly changed…to your liking, I hope.
So I’m doing laundry, watching the day, tweaking files and directories, feeling open and sort of “out there” and, oh yes, writing. I saw The Matrix on Sunday — such a sharply-cool movie. I’d like my writing to be able to move like the characters in that film. Six degrees of freedom. Hard to be that flexible, though…
In the theater parking lot was a silver New Beetle — a car that I’ve been pining over for some time. And a funny thing: the license plate was customized. My Dad and I laughed when we saw what it read.
“JONSBUG”
How cool is that?
