I was just through ny, ohio, tenessee,kentucky, georgia ... on my way to a convention in Atlanta. I enjoyed the chance to see the country a bit. Before that, I had only been to Maine and Florida. That is the great thing about breaks ... I am looking forward to ours so I can work on the book a bit ... btw it is called "Pheonix rising" 11/21/9 2:59 PM peachpye i am pretty happy with the website. believe me, the one last year was horrid. i like the cleaness of this one, and the fact that there are a lot of associated links. the designer is just trying to get some more pictures in the text. were are you located? 11/21/9 2:57 PM peachpye i like your stuff. the pointilism ones are very telling. i always associate pointilism with people like escher and seurat -- people who loved art as much as they were interested in mathematics. so i guess they seem to 'fit' you. excuse me for presuming so much! 11/21/9 2:55 PM peachpye i feel like I am invading your privacy, but I am going to your catalyst section now. do you mind? 11/21/9 2:54 PM peachpye I still like it. The look to the page is very calming. I know that sounds artsy, but I like it when the look of the page reflects the content. 11/21/9 2:52 PM peachpye oh good god yes. It is rather annoying. I am actually at the Press office right now. If you are bored, you can check out our website, at www.brocku.ca/press. Our designer is fiddling with it right now. 11/21/9 2:51 PM peachpye I like the design. I am currently running around the Helicon site. I liked the name, as it reminded me of Halcyon, no not the drug. My grandfather in India named his estate Halcyon for 'dreamland.' 11/21/9 2:48 PM peachpye I am checking them out now. 11/21/9 2:46 PM peachpye sounds like an interesting blend of interests. any websites I could check out? 11/21/9 2:44 PM peachpye you sound very much into computers. how does that work with a background in german literature? i'm the features editor of the student newspaper myself, and a member of the student's union. ah, beaurocracy at work. fun fun fun 11/21/9 2:41 PM peachpye what extracurricular activites are you involved in? 11/21/9 2:39 PM peachpye I have published a few short stories in Literary Journals and the like. Some work I did on a friend's manuscript may get published ... he is being somewhat courted right now. Okay, enough about me, tell me about you! 11/21/9 2:37 PM peachpye Well, I have taken a few courses in which the prof has highlighted the narrator's voice and the role it takes in our perception of events. I had this idea for a female character, but then a friend of mine suggested that instead of writing her story from her eyes, it would be interesting to write about her from an outside perspective. It went from there. 11/21/9 2:33 PM peachpye it is sort of odd. I have written mostly poetry and plays before this, so I decided to try something new. It is more a novella, about a man at the end of his life, sifting through memories. He focuses on 1930's Toronto, and the war. It deals with stuff like the construction of memory and how we tell stories. Riveting, eh? ;) 11/21/9 2:31 PM peachpye Well, perfect case scenario, someone gives me money to write a book ... or publishes the one I am working on. Then open a small restaurant, keep writing .... But, the realist in me is preparing for a career in PR or journalism. 11/21/9 2:29 PM peachpye With how I am feeling about my degree right now, I am pretty sure that you would win. :) What do you want to do once you are finished? 11/21/9 2:27 PM peachpye I am doing a combined major of English and Communications Media Studies .... sounds exciting, no? 11/21/9 2:26 PM peachpye What are you doing graduate work in? 11/21/9 2:26 PM peachpye I am doing well ... putting off writing a soci paper. I am a university student in Canada. 11/21/9 2:24 PM peachpye Hey there, want to chat?
