Once upon a time, this blog was going to be all about my pet bird, when I got one. But I never did get that bird. So, now this blog is about the beautiful, curious things that keep me in a near-constant state of happy distraction. Ironically, many people find these writings when they wonder what "peristerophobia" means. It's a fear of pigeons. I've made a bird blog after all.

Annie Dillard could have been writing about me when she said (of herself), "I like the slants of light; I'm a collector." Or Willem de Kooning: "I'm like a slipping glimpser." And don't forget Brenda Ueland: "I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten--happy, absorbed and quietly putting one bead on after another." But the Beastie Boys might have said it best: "When it comes to panache, I can't be beat." There's a reason I wear a ring that says Badass.

Bravo! And I'm glad to know that you're excited about what's to come. Me? I've grown too used to my summer indolence.
Congrats!
I, like PSM, am ambivalent about the approaching semester, and the accompanying time apart from the Aquababy and Mama.
But I did just order four diferent set of alphabet blocks under the guise of planning to use them in my graduate typography class. Letters -- including braille and sign-language -- for Matilda!
I'm not so much excited, but I am putting things together. Tomorrow, I'll blog about trying to get my office together.
