Terry Bain
I write books (You Are a Dog and We Are the Cat).
I try to practice mindfulness, but sometimes there is a passing squirrel or other beastie that cannot be ignored. Click buttons on this page to discover what squirrels I'm currently chasing.
With blessings. —Terry

- It's so cold in this house it feels like Summer in San Francisco.

Fountain is a simple markup syntax for writing, editing and sharing screenplays in plain, human-readable text. Fountain allows you to work on your screenplay anywhere, on any computer or tablet, using any software that edits text files.
My son is going to New Orleans this summer as part of the ELCA Youth Gathering. To do so, all the kids have to participate in some form of fundraising effort. In this way, half the money comes from fundraising, and half of it comes directly from us. It’s not an ideal situation (nobody really likes fundraising, do they?), but it’s kind of what’s expected.

I like these rules. I hate detailed descriptions of places and things!!!
These are some of the best “rules” I’ve seen… mostly because I already follow most of them.
This might be a “look on the bright side” comment for my eventual dementia.
I wish I could watch it again with no knowledge of the prequels or special editions.
Like when I was 10, and so was the film. Not tainted by years of hindsight and greed.
The only thing more cruel than putting your dog in a crate on the top of your car is making your dog wear that sweater.
Words.
And reporters miss the real story. Check to see if this man is from Gallifrey!

Post famous old black and white photos of famous dead people taken by photographers other than yourself.
Repeat.
As these new channels come in and start getting popular, it’s going to be less likely that you’re going to stumble on things that are out of left field because that’s the way the site is going to be reoriented: towards the hit-makers and less towards the random people. They’ll still be there, but they’ll be harder to find. And that would be kind of a loss.
John Seabrook on how YouTube plans to start promoting more professional content streams. (via nprfreshair)
This has already happened. And people who use YouTube a lot (my son) are pretty annoyed.
Pretty. Annoyed.
- Write one leaf about sushi.
In general, I do not like sushi.
In particular, I do not actually like sushi.
In essence, not actually fond of sushi.
Then again, sushi.
Paper obscures text.
From p. 244 of The British Poets, Including Translations (1822).
To many a youth, and many a maid,
First edition of Three Stories & Ten Poems by Ernest Hemingway (1923), which was privately published in a run of 300 copies by Contact Publishing in Paris:
This copy of Hemingway’s first book claims singularity by its provenance: it was this volume that Hemingway sent to Edmund Wilson in November 1923, asking for a review in The Dial. The book had appeared in Paris, where Hemingway was already well known in expatriate circles but had made little noise in the United States. Wilson read it immediately and responded warmly with a review that helped to make the young writer’s reputation.
Via The Atlantic.
I just… I think… Someone is having trouble… sentences. “Mitraigliatrice.” “Oily Weather.” “Chapter Heading.”
