Linked!

Saw that this blog was called "unique" and linked to by Mike Sterling's Progressive Ruin, a comics-oriented weblog. I don't know how many hits he gets, but it seems popular. Maybe I'd better tighten up my act! Or get a hit counter. Well, won't worry about it at the moment.

Reading Symptomatic by Danzy Senna. More about that later, when I finish the book.

Later man. Work is going slowly, and I'm distracted by this computer, checking e-mail, which is of course, a part of work. Realised that the reason for "unique" was alliteration with "Utopia."

Actually, the name is fairly meaningless, but I thought it sounded cool. One of those things that comes to you out of nowhere as a good title, but you have not yet found a use for it. I think it's about moments in time when something seems possible, but the moment passes. But still there is the feeling you remember.

Reading someone else's blog, (which I haven't recorded), he was proud that there was none of this self-indulgent diary stuff. I say, hey, why not? I probably should have more of a focus: sketches, or reviews, or links. Or even self-indulgent journaling. But instead it's all over the place. That's appropriate, because that's what I'm like.

Okay, here's a link to a short story I wrote. Trying to do more of these. The illustration accompanying it was sort of an inspiration for the story, but I had it in my mind for a long while, and didn't know whether to make it a comic strip or a literary story. Darned comics are still very time-consuming to draw, while written stories conjure up all the complicated pictures ready to go, in your mind.
