Random quote of the day:

I'd like to send this one out to Mrs. Wiskowicz, Dos Lunas County, California.


In other news: I can't access yahoo or gmail right now so if you've been trying to reach me and I haven't answered, that is why. For some Bizarro World reason, LJ is not a problem.

"One writes first to find himself, then one writes to find the universe. One writes for wisdom: the writing is the road and the wisdom is the place to where the road is going. This remains true until when, over the course of much writing bad or good, inconsequential or important, one has constructed a literary persona, the purpose of which then becomes its own self-perpetuation."

—Steve Erickson, Amnesiascope



I'm not sure I'm quite this cynical, but I liked the quote anyway.
