The past several weeks have been spent glued to my desk chair with my finger on the mouse and eyes locked in tunnel vision at the monitor. Needless to say my brain is beyond
Jello at this point.
I've been sifting thru websites upon websites reading up on web marketing, promoting one's art, joining up with Twitter, opening a store on Zazzle.com, finding former newspaper colleagues on LinkedIn, downloading and installing applications that are touted to help me maintain my plethora of social networking accounts so that I can become more efficient.
Oh and all the while still figuring out this whole grad school thing.
I'm beginning to feel like the Supertramp song "The Logical Song."
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well theyd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
Probably the hardest part of all for me is simply maintaining these sites, keeping my blog up-to-date (i.e. finding something to blather on about), letting people know that yes indeed I'm alive and kicking. So if ya been wondering where the heck did I disappear off to, there's your answer.
I have managed to still get in some edits during a few precious downtimes! These are from my ongoing personal project "Left of Center."
