Thursday's Thrills

I made up a song about Goldie Gardener and Frank Lloyd Wright to stop the baby crying tonight while babysitting. (That's right, it's Pledge Week on Ch. 17!) I might also note that Norah's world has trees, catalogs, shoes, walks, kitties, books, friends, yogurt, and country songs (all sung to the tune "Elmo's World").

Bought some fabric remnants, French barette clips, and notions today. Need some project, besides re-typing the novel.

Summer Pierre has finished 30 days of one-word writing/drawing prompts: a great inspiration.

Not so thrilling:

Quite sad about the Montreal shootings, and the general state of attitudes in the world. (Mine not excluded.)

Weekend

(Me and the Kreepy Dolls at Buffalo Arts Studio)

This is the art I saw tonight: Kreepy Doll Factory, work by Jeff Vincent and Thu Tran and Dan Baxter.






Been resting.


And I went to see Redheaded Stepchild the other night; pictures here.

Debuting...ProfessionalResearchServices.com


I am extremely happy to announce the launch of my new website, Professional Research Services. As some of you know, I've been running my own home-based research business since 2002, specifically serving the tobacco control/public health community. I've decided to expand my services to include answering the research, writing, archival needs of organizations and individuals.

Do you know anyone who needs assistance organizing a collection, writing a history, fact-checking, or in-depth research?

I hope you'll think of me.

Tech-Cred Screed

I'm a little afraid to admit it: I'm thinking about letting my domain expire.

Celiathepoet.org was a gift (thank you, Sean) and a perfect one for 1999 San Francisco. I'd had webpages of sorts before that, though I was as happy as anyone to see hand-coding go its way in favor of blogging and templates. I was also happy to support the ultra-cool Eskimo.com. (As you can see by their page, they're about as interested in updating a web site as I am.)

But, as you've probably noticed, if I write at all, it is via my blogs. Also, there is the expense, considerable as I cut all corners. And the fun of FTPing. This, perhaps, I shall recover from.

I guess I am just wondering...am I less of a "person" online without a domain behind me? In what way should I care? Who shall mourn if I sink into blogging obscurity? It is no more or less shallow than CTP.org allows now.

I feel vaguely Shakespearean (tragic? comic? O, I am slain?) about it all.
