5 things make a post
Apr. 6th, 2013 01:22 am1. You know that advice about overcoming writer's block? How, if you're stuck, you should try writing by a different method? Well, that doesn't really work if you're block is made from deep personal anxiety over writing autobiographical fiction. {Sigh.}
2. Saw a really neat episode of Nature this evening, all about how plants actually exhibit behaviors like animals do (only really, really, slowly). I just get all choked up when I think about how alien non-human life is from human life. I mean it's really all about all the different ways to be truly intelligent, and the more we broaden our definitions the better (and the sillier groups like SETI appear).
3. I've been having really vivid dreams about Father recently – as in so vivid, I have to remind myself upon waking that he's died.. {Sigh redux}
4. … (I know I had a fourth thought…) Ah, yes! One of my favorite couplets from the sea chantey:
King Louis was the King of France before the revolution
till he got his head cut off which spoiled this constitution..
5. And lastly, a video (I believe there are a few people in my circles who've recommended John Green's The Fault in our Stars. And I know there are people in my circles who like poetry; so I thought this video of John Green talking about and reciting poetry would be of double interest ["Hank" is his younger brother]):
