I’ve made progress on the plot of my soon-to-be-written blitz of a novel. I’m trying not to think of it too much as recommended by previous NaNoWriMo participants and the founder of the whole torturous exercise so as to not become overwhelmed by details. ‘nuf said, else I’ll be overwhelmed by details.
Took a minor road trip from work today to visit the site of a new project I’m working on. The location, while decent in and of itself, is so incredibly far from the center of the city that it blows my mind people live there. We drove by entire other cities to get to this place, and if you asked people there where they were they would have said St. Louis. Bullshit, you are not in St. Louis.
As you can see, I’m trying to be freer in verse.
The best news from a sustainability perspective I’ve heard all week is that Fisker Automotive is going to build an eletric car facility. It will be in Delaware . . . did I mention it will be a facility that builds electric cars?! I suppose the screen door factor was losing its luster. I kid . . .
I’m going with a few people (wife and others) to a tea cupping tonight. Man alive that sounds dirty. Numerous people have commented that it might as well be called a tea bagging. “NO!” I say. One definition of tea bagging is very sexual in connotation and the other has to do with the demonstrations of conservative wing nuts, who for some reason could not think of a better name for their ill-conceived protests. Tea cupping, if you don’t know, and I didn’t until I read about it, is a tea tasting. Hopefully I learn a little somethin’ somethin’.
I’m enjoying the new free form green | rising. The underlying theme of what I post will still be sustainability but with less focus on the science and policy of it. One of the many definitions of sustainability I’ve read reads, “to keep up or keep going, as an action or process”. In the most general interpretation of the word, this applies to everything and everyone, from society to myself. The NaNoWriMo endeavor I’m about to embark counts toward this. Writing a book is something I’ve always wanted to try, and by making an effort (and hopefully succeeding), I will be making my own life more sustainable through risk taking, accomplishment and perhaps even failure.
