you might’ve noticed, but it is likely you didn’t. the goings-on to the right, they seem to lack the same relevance they once did. i know i need to address this issue, come up with some new manner of menu-ing and navigating, but i’ve just grown so comfortable with the way things are — a bittersweet echo of my disreaction to various affective stimuli throughout my days… but let us return to the point, shall we?
you might’ve noticed that the links distractions change every few weeks, an addition here, a removal there. the purges occur when a link dies, whether actually or philosophically. example: aint it cool news is out, chud is in. new listees are usually sites of people i know or have linkwise met through one way or another, and only those sites that are consistently worth a visit. it is a quiet acknowledgement, a tip of the hat. however, there has been an addition in the last week worthy of a mention louder than a whisper.
the mix CD posts of last week drew a steady trickle of email, and one in particular was from a fellow atlantan with an exceptional site. in introduction, she made the comment that we’d enough in common to perhaps be secretly related, a shared alma mater being but one of the similarities. she is grace. and regardless of what you might think of that college in the georgia mountains, regardless even of your general opinion of me, you need to know that grace is the caretaker of a word garden called roman lily. if you are a local, you will find a little joy in her observations of atlanta’s secrets and memories. and if you’re not a local, you were certainly a child at one time. the archives are two years deep and i have yet to find an entry that failed to make me grin or ponder or wonder. so go. you owe it to yourself.
and grace, thank you. i hope you don’t mind the attention.
