cold discipline for solo travellers
From the category archives:
I have been commissioned to a narrative meme by the estimable Martha, a project also participated in by MTNW. Since Señor Mojito and I will shortly be heading south to see a man about a cheese (for which context can be found here, here, here and here), it seemed timely to put something up before departing.

At the journal of ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
Teacake I spied an amusing collage-maker that turns your LiveJournal post content into images. Since this site is also syndicated to my LiveJournal account, I was able to take it for a test toast. These are the lengthy results, which would look far better if I could find the hook to show the entry without the column at right, but alas, I don’t know how to do this. This entry also tests a handy plugin that enables me to link directly to LiveJournalists and LJ communities. (I am more-or-less addicted to WordPress plugins, but that is another topic for another post.)
What I’ve been journalling about

My fellow Norwich Terrier breeder and Facebook friend Magda has included me in the “25 things” exercise that is currently meshing with the tag option on Facebook’s notes. This is the rubric
Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
I am modifying this a little: since my Facebook notes are syndicated from my webpages, I am making the original post there, and since my Facebook friends are from so many different times and facets of my life, I am going to write five paragraphs for five things. Those of you who’ve been my students will know my mantra “an academic paragraph is usually around five sentences”, and it’s time for me to test it here. I will reserve the option to tag, knowing that many among you dislike it.

My thirty-four things
7 February, 2009
in commentatrix,memes & quizzes
Thank you again, everyone, for your kind birthday wishes, which appeared in the comments here, on Twitter, on Facebook, by text and superimposed by laser on the moon. Only one of these is a lie. It was a lovely day.
When Ms. Sas turned thirty-five last year she made the post “35 things learned the last 35 years”, which format Miss MeganWegan repeated yesterday for our shared anniversary and her years thirty-one. Shameless appropriator of others’ structures that I am, I thought I would adapt the same for my own reflections. I have tied each scrap of knowledge to the age at which I learned it; thus numbers 1-5 reflect what I know from the first five years of life, and each number thereafter corresponds to the age it signifies. Let us see how well I can cast my mind back to a life of big hair and long skirts.
