“A poem is an interruption of silence, whereas prose is a continuation of noise,” the poet Billy Collins once said. Poets and lyrically minded prose writers see the written word rather as Quaker worship sees the spoken word: they think it more powerful if it emerges out of and is separated by silence. Writing and reading online, we struggle to find this silence out of which words can materialise and be contemplated. There is too much speaking and reacting, and not enough listening and reflecting.

"[G]ood writing is in reach of anyone, and all it asks for in return is the time it takes...I still think that time spent making [sentences] — even time spent deleting them furiously and then starting all over again — could never be a waste."

advent journal: this tadpole life
A quick note: I am playing a bit of catch up with my Advent Journal because I picked up some malware that was sending people spam messages when they tried to get to the site. That is all corrected now, thanks to the good folks at Dreamhost, but it has kept my quiet for a few days.

This is my second Advent season since I left my job as an editor.
It was not a pleasant…

How Britain fell in and out of love with roads
How Britain fell in and out of love with roads
I noticed Joe Moran’s 2010 book On Roads in the local library, and I’m interested in roads and like Moran’s work. (I’ve also read his books on failure and on writing.) He doesn’t mean roads in general. This is a cultural history of British roads in the sixty years between the heady excitement of the first motorway openings to the road protests of the 1990s and 2000s, even if tracing that story…

"What's the problem here?"
"Oh, the old sexorcist here thinks I stole his precious little ghoulie book."
"Yeah, so?"
"So what would I want with a book?"
"Good point. Perry, Kurt doesn't have your book. He can barely read a clock."

For Gene and the four again
Have they ever accidentally yelled/lashed out at someone they would never want to hurt?
Have they ever been betrayed?
ooof dang I'm going to put the four first because Gene is a doozy
Archie as a teen used to lash out at his mom and step dad because he was dealing poorly with his deadbeat dad Moran. His mom and stepdad don't hold it against him but Archie still feels awful about his teenage troubled youth. He was betrayed by Moran when he learned what his father did to him as a child.
Patricia lashed out against Janet because she was tired and irritated with Janet trying to be her friend as well as Janet's well meaning but backfiring pranks. They did make up an started dating later on. In terms of betrayal - she was betrayed by her family and town when they unfairly accused her of murdering her wife.
Jenkins accidentally lashed out at Joe while under the effects of a gas that made him crazy and very evil. Joe didn't hold it against him and was worried about him. Jenkins shut down for a while and Gene had to bring him out of it.
Hugh lashed out at Patricia one time more out of emotional turmoil because he freaked out when he thought she was in deadly danger and didn't tell him the truth about it.
(I can't think of any time's Hugh and Jenkins have been betrayed, hurt by actions but not betrayed.)
As for Gene...there is a list
-lashed out at Alex when they were fighting over the treatment of villains
-lashed out at Jenkins when Jenkins created a machine intended to help Mouse but caused her to accidentally commit crimes under a trance state and made people believe Mouse was the real culprit behind a series of crimes committed by regular mice.
-lashed out at Hugh when they first met when Hugh pushed his buttons by accident and built his version of a mind reading device with the main purpose of trying to help Gene.
-lashed out at Archie when he accidentally scared Mouse with his huge pet Spider Fluffy and his spider hero theme get up. He is called Doctor Arannae (Gene threw a truck at him.)
-lashed out at Oliver for pushing his buttons
-accidentally lashed out at Mouse when they were arguing over her behavior and not cleaning her room (the mousebraingirl version of the "Super Grounded" episode)
(that is all I can think about right now)
As for Betrayal (mousebraingirl au version)
-betrayed by his dad Maddrix
-betrayed by his colleague Athena when she kidnapped Becky

Review: Adam Wingard's YOU’RE NEXT Is A Darkly Comedic Home Invasion Horror
There’s quite a lot to recommend in director Adam Wingard’s You’re Next, a darkly comedic home invasion film which takes the horror sub-genre and flips it on its head. It’s all very entertaining and as it builds, it becomes even funnier and funnier.
Well-to-do married couple Aubrey and Paul Davison (horror icon Barbara Crampton and Rob Moran) take to the Davison country home to spend the weekend…

'Spike' O'Donnell, first victim of the legendary 'Chicago Typewriter.'
It is September 25, 1925. On the corner of Sixty-Third and Western, one of the city’s most notorious gangsters is chatting casually with a local police officer. This is not unusual, cops and robbers often know each other professionally and/or personally. What is unusual is the car heading toward him. It arrives fast, screeches to a halt and the door opens.
“Hello, Spike!”
The words sound…
