The final statement of this
The final statement of this blogathon is left to Arun Blake of Montreal who says, over phone..."What do you want me to say... what's the conversation been so far...? Is that it?" Well, I guess that leave a lot for future unpacking.
Goodnight BlogLadies GoodNight!

You can find it throughout this blog,

And throughout my computer,

I am less blurry and more opaque.
Full of unfounded suppositions and randomised experiences,
the past decade has collapsed into 48 half hour segments.
Like a comedy, the situations have a radius beyond which
sense cannot be made, and inside which sense is everywhere.
I decided to blog poetry for the next hour, since logic is even less of an option now thatn it was before.
Joshua T Rex has returned
Joshua T Rex has returned with his shopping list. Atleast I think so. He has not really self identified. But I don't feel personally responsible. How could I at this juncture? There is a whole world out there, and I'm typing something like my 56th post into this blog. Actually, I think it is just punnishment. I make my students blog. I promote blogs. I want to construct my own blog. So, why shouldn't I put my fingers where my mouth is an blog for as long as I can stand it.?
Ok. Me bad. But I
Ok. Me bad. But I have multiple intersecting excuses. My cam. I had a cam for the whole blogathon, but it was not mine. I bummed 3 cams from school for Salmon, Hildegarde and as a back up. I was going to use my beloved Kritter Cam. But it borked. And borked and borked. But when hildegarde told me to get my camera back on so her sister could see if I was awake, I wanted MY camera... Do I hunted and poked and prodded. I dumped preference files, and reinstalled the known universe.
Unfortunately, it was the wrong universe. Some sort of sick sidereal motion of the stars and the entire cosmic circumference was perspiring against me.
Forlorn and undaunted, I severed, and cut to the quick. Throwing out all extensions including willy and nilly. Rebooting ad nauseum... until! What in a wondering eye should appear, but the right configuration, and my crittercam is here!

Ok, now for my next trick, I'll make fruitjuice. I have on pineapple, two kiwi, two mango, somepears and apples and stuff... watch on the cam... what a mess!

I visited Soulflare looking for ideas, and ended up leaving this comment. "As a gay-positive educator, who is bloggin in support of Canada's only school for queer youth, I can voice support for your activism. I can't offer much advice, as the struggle seems more clear when it is less personal... I'm just not qualified. But in working with Triangle, I've come to realize that the best resource is the individual, and the most important thing is to DO something you think is positive, along side traditional political activism, that helps solve a small daily problem. As a way to build bridges with people who may hold differing viewpoints, the smallest step may be the hardest, but is in the end perhaps the most important. Best of luck. (And I apologize for any incoherence, but I've been blogging for 17 hours.)"

I have no idea what it means, but it is a hack on our moo that I wrote to do something cool.

I need sleep, and I'm kicking code butt!
We've had a problem in our virtual environment such that sounds were not playing on various rooms. Our code wiz said he'd fixed it, but it was not working. I'm no coder, but I had a sleep deprived epiphany, and fixed it in 5 minutes. For my sins, I'm now having to fix the same thing on players, which I probably can't do...
But, look at the balcony cam.

But I will. "A woman without a blog is like... can opener without a catfood can."

I just had a wonderful gift. My best oldest friend signed my guest book:
Hi Jas,
Hang in there. I'm on my way to work so figured I'd say hi.
This is great stuff. Good for you.
Love Di
Di and I have had trouble communicating over the past couple of years. I know it is me, but when you've known someone for well over 25 years it has got to happen. Especially when you meet in grade 7. But she knows I'm there when the call goes out. And those words show me that she's there for me. What else do you want out of life. (A maudlin 6:46am thought that will still be true after sleep.)

I'm starting on my 1 litre of beer... as it is 6am already, and I forgot. It is our last batch of beer before dave moves to England. One of our best: Dave's PostApocalyptic Porter. mmmmmm
I finally made it to
I finally made it to the blog chat... I can see why I didn't get there before now. I'm just not cut out for group aim... MOO yes... I can handle polysynchronicity, but mere synchronous chat? No thanks.
Blog-A-Thon Babes!!! have a blog
Blog-A-Thon Babes!!! have a blog that is so fat it will not fit on my 1152x768 pixel screen. That's a 15.2" LCD screen on my TiBook. They must have 28" monitors, or something. But they're doing it! Blogging away, so they have my praise.n

I just noticed that it is starting to get light outside... 5:33 am, according to my clock. Blogging the night away.

Gaaaaa... my blogs have not been going to the right place... I've been sending them to my teaching blog... I'll go get them... see? I did blog. I swear I did.

I must say, I'm having buckets of fun now.
Talking with hildegarde and salmooon
is more fun than anything I can imagine at 4am.
I'm going to look out the balcony to see
if the world has forgotten about me.

I'm blogging absolutely nothing. Proving that I blogged. Proving that I'm no slagg. And I'm typing way to much on the MOO to fill up this space, overly. Want more? Sign my guest book, and let me know what yo want.
Salmon and Hildegarde say it
Salmon and Hildegarde say it is time to blog again. Interesting topics... why salmon is a goth, why I don't find guys attractive, and the fact that camp is not camping. Want more? Come to AchieveMOO

It took me a while, but I have my BlogCamAlbum up and running. It covers the first 12 hours or so... Enjoy... and there's no back button.

So far, I'm impressed with one thing. And that one thing is my total inability to do or say anything interesting tonight. I don't know what the motivating factor is. The fact that I MUST do something? The fact that I have a splitting headache and have been overworked teaching my course all summer. Or the fact that I'm just a borderline putz who just has nothing to contribute to the discourse of the universe.
Perhaps there is a quiz in there somewhere.
