bring out your dead ~

thought on dead communities:

i apparently belong to a lot of dead livejournal communities.

i occasionally post to them, hoping to rouse some discussion, but not much has been happening. i leave them on my list because it's not like they clog up my friends' page or anything.

thought on a dead person for the day:

harriet beecher-stowe ~ earnest and ill-informed reformer or deliberate propaganist? what is the responsibility of writers to tell the truth?

things that kill:

once you've had good quality tea, there's just no going back to celestial seasonings, is there? bleh.

dead projects worth resurrecting?:

just how long does something have to sit in a closet rotting before you declare it dead. much as i hold onto a number of very old and very abandoned projects, i still consider most of them to be viable. but i do have a handful of truly dead ideas that will never see the light of day. should i destroy all evidence of them? does anyone else have a horror of the thought of work being published posthumously which should never see the light of day?

dead ends:

i need a hair trim really bad. this northern weather is wreaking havoc on my tresses.

Science says: "We must live," and seeks the means
of prolonging, increasing, facilitating and amplifying life,
of making it tolerable and acceptable.

Wisdom says: "We must die," and seeks how to make us die well.
