I have to admit I haven’t been ‘blogging much because not much is happening that I want to talk about. There’s a bunch of Second Life stuff that’s probably boring to 90% of you (and only mildly interesting to the other 10%, and if it were all that fascinating, you’d be logged in already, anyway).
I’ve been meaning to write some semi-philosophical observations about Second Life, and it’s mostly in the can (as they say), but again: Subject matter irrelevance.
I want to self-publish a book, kinda like what thenarrator did, and Prometheus before him, and probably some others I can’t remember at the moment. Mostly assembled topical ‘blog entries, revised. Mostly stories about being from Planet Asperger, because I think people might be interested, and it might be useful to someone.
This means I have to do revision, which I’m good at doing as long as they’re not my words. So I guess I’ll just have to struggle with it.
I’m still in Texas. I’ll be here through Christmas, and probably New Year’s, just so the travel isn’t so nasty. I’ll probably be flying, rather than taking the train. Though there is the thought that I could take the train to Chicago, then across the vast northern plains. I’d need a week in Chicago, though, to regain my sanity mid-trip. What a great plan.
And finally… I found the OHM Early Gurus Of Electronic Music 3-CD + DVD boxed set at Half Price Books for $12. Mine! Now I can listen to Morton Subotnick, Raymond Scott, and Louis and Bebe Barron to my heart’s content.

Hey DO tell pls about SL ….
really!
When I thought I was an Aspie I wrote out chapters that were classified two ways–they went: childhood, adolescence, Sarah, 20s, Suze, 30s, ,, 40s. That was my natural progression. I only finished a few chapters, but they turned out to be very helpful to me, and led to the discarding of the Aspie line of thought.
I thought my words would be helpful. Heck, they probably still would be. But, my perspective has changed, and I couldn’t do it now.
My point is, though, that it’s just a good thing to do, even if it helps only you.
Did you ever read that book by Gutstien, I think it was? The webpages are not good–they’re selling things. But the book was just excellent. Very, very enlightening for anyone, neurotypical or not.
Really I just popped over since I’d not commented for a while (yeah, the SL stuff is not for me–I must avoid such things because I get sucked in too deep)–and here I got all serious and preachy!
