My blood has triggered another alarm, same as yesterday's alarm at the same time – such is the way for a few days after having to miss an outdoors run (thanks to blood sugar being too low); ding ding ding, et al.
RE/EMERGENCE0005 is off for EJK to do her awesome thing with it and I've moved on to something I've wanted to play with for awhile. Also managed to give myself new insight as to working methods in this, the shards-n-fragments era.
In heartlandia news, Brandon is getting all sorts of encouragement, banners hanging from porches; crude spraypaint tags on the marshmallow disguises of haybales; middle-of-intersection road defilement – at least the turquoise penises of yore served a purpose and resulted in many a pothole being filled.
Oh, those were the days.
CW&T Pen Type-C
Newest writing implement/obsession, CW&T’s beautiful Pen Type-C, arrived today; ordered it after a(nother) particularly enraging pencil + bookmark vanishing act. Nice weight, writes well, does the job – and manages to be a work of art at the same time.

On this, another cold and frosty et al and, in the midst of the standard post-Sunday-visit hangover minus inebriative prior fun/regret, my desire to meet an owner of a Chucky Cheese who will let me bring Kirby in to play in the ball pit has grown exponentially: this is my dream(state), now.
I think I finished re/emergence0005 but I'm not sure (welcome, Tyler, to the finalization stage; flow was wonderful, wasn’t it?). A period of printing and reading aloud will thus ensue. Still more or less sure that I remain on target to send it off to EJK by Thanksgiving; this one's been percolating for awhile now. Good feeling to relieve the pressure (cooker).
My blood has triggered another alarm. The day awaits.
