Today, I discovered when driver’s licenses were first required in the state of Illinois. Look for the year, but I can tell you that it was on May 1.
Truly, a writer will have no problems with ideas if they simply read news stories. Take, for example, the wait for an Indonesian King (please do read that article). Or the plan to blow up a satellite so it doesn’t reach the earth, or everything major like the tragic shooting in Illinois… of which I plead dear God for comfort upon the suffering (ps 119.50)
On another note, a woman called because her shift button on her computer keyboard was stuck, and she “can’t sign into Yahoo Messenger.” She was terribly upset to say the least, moreso irritated that I could not assist her.
How despairing, to be around all this information ready to be had, and yet, still have other responsibilities that take away from a plunge into new things.
Currently:
reading non-fiction: Letters to a Young Artist (Julia Cameron)
reading fiction: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (Junot Diaz)
audiobooking: Holes (Louis Sachar) and Lemony Snicket
listening to: Uakti: Aguas da Amazonia (Philip Glass)
watching: The Bicycle Thief and I’m Not Scared
hmph.
