I'm at the library.

[fflo]

It feels kinda oddly public and exposed to be doing this here---which is sorta weird, considering it doesn't feel that way to do it from my computer at work, by which more people walk than are walking past this one. But I suppose MR is home away from home, at least.

I thought In a Lonely Place was two days overdue---I swear I feel like I need to keep such lapses from the librarian friends, you know?---but it was due today. So I'm in the clear on that. A review of it follows soon.


Life today:

Breakfast and lots of coffee with J. Heard from S., who had a rough night, or a rough recovery from it, anyway. Then Round Two with the deck, which I lost, though not by knock-out; nonetheless I'm pretty much ready to Admit I Need Help (time to look into renting a power washer). Happy cookie news and pick-up visit with donators of free produce; trip to Food and Drug Mart for supplemental produce; trip to library, which closes in 5 minutes.

Stop by Kroger's then home to clean the kitchen, cook myself some dinner at leisure, and go visit neighbor cats again.

I used to do that in college...on those huge editing machines. Now you just load the digital stuff into the Mac, and use i-movie to rearrange it.

I guess it's good that it's easier. But one thing I like about a very certain frew picky-details gotta-get-it-just-right things is that my latent perfectionism comes out (selectively, as I imply) and I get (relatively) tremendous patience and focus. Maybe not so much is needed in that area now.

Of course there is still all the craft of the editor...

Well that's the thing isn't it? They can make more accessible equipment to give amateurs better results...but they can't build a computer that creates art in and of itself. You have to be an artist to do that.
