I'd do the meme, but...

...don't laugh...

...I can't think of ten things about me that are all that unusual.

Go ahead and name some if you disagree with me.

Some people think that critics are pinched and bitter. Failed artists, maybe. People who feel bigger by tearing something down or picking it apart. I am painting in broad strokes here, but you know what I mean. Even people who aren't consciously biased against critics have been known to think this way.

It occurred to me this morning (in the shower, where all time stops) that my take is a bit different.

Critics are people who engage with text* as a conversation, rather than as a lecture. Who are not content to merely absorb the information given, but want to talk back.




* as always, this includes movies, music, TV, etc.

My mom is at this conference! Or, she will be tomorrow. She is presenting something on nanotechnology. Then we will eat dinner with her before she goes off to visit her parents.

Dear Breszny decoders...

I appreciate your attempts at decoding my horoscope for this week, but the real struggle I was having was with specifics:

What is it that I am so thirsting for, that's there for the taking if only I listened?

Yes, I know, that's the question, isn't it? But, see, it sounds indeed like a question I should be asking myself, and yet I have no clue what the heck is being talked about.

Your insight still appreciated (and solicited).

Best,

Yr Lady of LJ Prolificness

Seriously. What should I read for my feature next week? I'll be debuting at least one new piece, but probably only one new piece.

I might even take requests.
