Confetti

| 0 Comments

4:45 PM, Thursday afternoon. Minutia.

Toss up a handful of confetti. Pretty much a bunch of scrap paper: colorful but meaningless. In a cloud it looks nice though. Butterflies. Drifting flower petals. A group of bright and tiny fish schooling through the air.

So take a breath of these Spring-time breezes. Fling that arm up, fingers opening. Here goes:

Doing laundry. Doing dishes. Thinking of a letter and some email I want to write. Adjusting the re-structured version of my online journal (and bemoaning the lack of display standards for such things as font sizes). Got Frank Black (former Pixie) on my computer’s CD-ROM drive. The music sounds surprisingly good through the Polk Audio speakers.

Thinking of the weekend.

Thinking of getting my hair cut short for the Summer.

(Noting that I frequently miss the Shift key when typing on this keyboard.) I’d like to completely over-haul my website. Re-do the whole thing, perhaps using dynamic-HTML. The prospect feels sort of intimidating, though. Don’t know if I could do it all in Notepad.

(Ah, what the heck: sure I could.)

Earlier this week I flirted with growing a mustache and then decided not to. Writing that last sentence made me laugh out-loud. Guess it’s one of those days: A whole lot of mental confetti tumbling through my mind.

I really made myself a great sandwich for breakfast: spicy jack cheese, tomato, broccoli sprouts, green and red pepper slices and mushrooms on Italian bread. Yummy.

Wanting to be swallowed-up by my writing for a while. That’d be cool.

And I’d still like to do some RealAudio stuff on this site.

I’m working on a weird HTML thing that I’ll start putting up once it is more defined. I think it’s pretty neat even now, though.

But I’m easy, though.

Bunch of confetti, eh? What do you think? Not a lot of meaning. Not a lot of structure. Flittering impressions -- all true. Bits of me and my day today. Not exactly the finale of a big fireworks display. Just scraps of colored paper.

Over quickly and easy to sweep up.
