With the (welcome) intrusion of Notanda and the update of Celsius1414, I think it would be useful to sort of reset the clock as it were on the novel and begin again, say on April 1st. In the meantime, I have some additional background details to get down, mostly environmental in nature: weather, time of year, approximate lat./long., sunrise/sunset, moon phases, stars, etc. Exceedingly important details taht will really fill in the blanks. Wouldn’t mind getting character sketches done as well, fleshing them out quite a bit.

I’ve begun adjusting my projects system, shifting the HPDA to its better-suited day-to-day actions and appointments, with a single card for each day of the week. I can already tell this will help tremendously.

I wrote a piece about ‘Why a Moleskine?’ for the 43folders wiki which I also posted on this site. Short three paragraphs on the subject, but it captures why I like them.

For some reason, the phrase ‘old-fashioned futurist’ comes to mind re myself. It’s true, though. I want to fight Nazi tyranny with a light saber.

Is the modern world awful? Yes, because it is not modern enough.

Changing subjects to pens, I’ve been trying out a Pilot Dr. Grip Gel for the past day. I love the comfort factor of the larger barrel, and it’s a pretty nice line. However it seems to take forever to dry, and it has gummed up a few times while in the middle of a line. So I’m ambivalent, though the change of pace is very nice.
