Unconsciously defensive?
I'm in a quandary. I don't know whether blogging is interfering with my life or whether life is interfering with my blogging. The more I ponder this question, the more unanswerable it seems. I had a very unsettling dream about a blogger who because of an accident of birth, turned out to have two right hands (in addition to the left hand, of course). It sure as hell wasn't my fault, and I don't know why I would be blamed for noticing it in a dream. (Obviously, much is being concealed.) So I woke up and saw some architectural news: MIT assistant professor of architecture J. Meejin Yoon has designed a self-defense dress that mimics a porcupine, protecting its wearer from attacks and unwanted advances. The “quills” on the dress are stiff piano wires that are controlled by proximity sensors, although it’s not clear if they’re actually designed to stick into the attacker or just scare them off.Stiff piano wires controlled by proximity sensors? Why that sounds comforting, I'm not sure. I must have overlooked whatever I'm missing. posted by Eric on 05.27.05 at 08:33 AM

Life is more important than blogging. Really. Without interesting life experiences, there is a lack of perspective in one's blogging that would render said blogging flat and trite. So never apologize if you need to enter a period where you need to stop tapping into the aquifer and you need to let the well fill back up. Or whatever wells do. Or aquifers. I don't know. I need to go out and get me some more of them life experiences. Maybe then my metaphors will make sense. retrofuturistic · May 27, 2005 10:17 PM Thanks! But blogging is for me a way to cope with life's less pleasant aspects. When the latter actually interfere with blogging, the toxins accumulate. Eric Scheie · May 28, 2005 01:24 PM |

This dream obviously involves the ability to masturbate while blogging. Obviously.
cheers!
