Done Since 2025-04-27

It's been a busy week. G and N have been in Paris since Tuesday, celebrating their (10th?!) anniversary. (I can't think of a more romantic place to celebrate it, but maybe that's just because of the flashback scenes in Casablanca, which was one od Colleen's and my favorite movies.) They're getting back tonight. Meanwhile, I've been taking care of four cats on three different feeding schedules, and trying (with mixed success) to get my guitar-playing back into shape for recording.

I've also started to get websites switched over to my current favorite set of fonts -- Merriweather for headings, and Atkinson Hyperlegible Next for body text. I like the contrast between serif and sans-serif for headings and text; in print it works better the other way around, but only if you have the extra resolution and contrast to pull it off. I started with Going Sideways, which is probably worst case because of the convoluted way WordPress deals with styles.

(makes a note to work on that rant about WordPress...)

I've been having a lot of trouble concentrating lately. Perhaps relatedly, I have been having a lot of trouble making decisions. From what to work on next to what to eat for dinner. I frequently wind up sitting -- or standing -- frozen in place for minutes. Sometimes, I think, nearly an hour, although my memory for such things is extremely unreliable.

... so, being decision-paralyzed about what links to give you, here are Daniel Kelly singing "Moon Song" by Mildred Plew Meigs. (See also my post about it, with lyrics, from 2007. It used to be one of Colleen's favorites), and Rodin's Celle qui fut la belle heaulmière. More about that under Friday, including links to the poem that inspired it.

( Notes & links, as usual )

... and May the Fourth be with you.
