The Idea-smithy

A blog-meet! Halloween is as good an excuse as any other, to bring together a bunch of bloggers I guess. This group had the “A“s of A-listers (including the man who defines the list!) and some aam-junta types (like yours truly). Here’s the line-up in order of appearance at the party (I will be politically [...]

Its nice to know you that you aren’t as sad as you thought you would be.
I’m very boring except when I’m flirting or blogging.
You’re doing neither, any more. And I wonder who this stranger is, who sits in front of me. After a month of perfect conversations, we have nothing to say to each other [...]

A day in 55-word notes…

Maybe we’d have crashed anyway….together.

The sins of an over-hectic schedule caught up with me this weekend. I’ve been working quite hard and partying rather hard too, for my metabolism. When you wake up on a weekday (and in these times, on a weekend too), there isn’t a minute to be wasted. So much to do, so many people to [...]

You’re too intense for me.
He said then.
A few years later, they met.
He was older, she wiser.
He frowned,
I don’t like what you’ve become.
You didn’t like me the way I was!
She wanted to cry when he said

It’s Friday the thirteenth.
I was born on a Friday the thirteenth. I’m tremendously puffed up about it.
But you would expect that from a woman who wears a dragon tattoo and likes to rattle stereotypes, wouldn’t you?
Firstly, I think the notion of it being an unlucky day is ridiculous. No, forget about it being a superstition, [...]
