a morning

Wow, there's nothing like having a cop knocking on the door to ask you to move a car that's not actually yours (he mis-read the mailboxes, it seems) to completely and totally lose the mood for sex.

Earlier, I had a dream involving being able to run, then just lift my legs up and sit on nothingness and keep coasting. That was fun. As what we were doing before the interruption.

Sometimes I really wish I had the guts to answer interruptions like that completely naked.

ideas I need to get out of my head

I had this brainstorm about the way I use my gallery. I'll upload an image, or a set of images, and then it's a long process of copying image URLs into <img> tags, and making whatever comments I feel like, and posting to LJ. But what if the gallery talked to LJ? It could just do a few web accesses and pretend to be a blog posting client using one of the various interfaces out there.

Upload one image? It makes a post with one image. Upload a zip file of sketchbook stuff? It makes a post with all those images.

Then I pull that up in the editor, and make whatever commentary I feel necessary. Send it back out as a public post rather than a private one, and you see it.

I think I need to dissect one of the 'mirror your blog to LJ' plugins out there.

I'm also having one of those weekends where I want to start keeping a blog on my own site, rather than just including my LJ. As always, I keep coming back to thinking of using Textpattern, because it's relatively small and fairly featureful. And just kinda... elegant. But difficult. Very difficult. Really, I'm probably going to end up continuing to have a site made up of a handful of static pages, Singapore, and LJ.
