I was just over at …

the Coltillion Interview and while the questions Basil asked and the answers the ladies gave were all almost equally interesting, this one tickled my fancy:

“How do you handle writer’s block?”

The ladies’ answers were cool, but I prefer my method of dealing with writer’s block over all others:

I simply emulate James Joyce and start spewing unconnected, random words that have apparent connection without having any cohesive meaning. When something starts to stick to the screen, I know I’ve found some good $*** and start blogging.

Often, I’m wrong of course, and it’s not good $*** at all, but really bad $*** and ought to be a candidate for a “worst of the blogosphere” award. So? It still keeps the voices in my head mollified…

😉

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Dead?

Maybeso. Not confirmed. Keep an open mind on this, but cautious optimism seems warranted since even Reuters notes the possibility. heh

If true, it won’t end the terrorist attacks on civilians in Iraq, but it will put a dent in them-again, if this proves out.

UPDATE (Monday): Nope. New news says probably NOT. More as things unfold, but this was just a lil premature, looks like.

OTOH, maybe for Christmas Santa will put a Zarqawi in America’s stocking. heh. (I’d rather he deliver some spine and stones to Republican’t Congresscritters, but bagging Zarqawi looks to be more possible… )

If this doesn’t move you…

…then you need a heart and soul transplant.
