Not much has been wafting from Life in Technismellour recently. There's lots to say - - but ever notice how much time living takes? It also takes a lot of time to untangle everything into intelligible strings. And I'm increasingly distressed at how long Detail Disoriented has retained top spot here. It deserves a follow up - but not here. Maybe soon.
In the movie I Am Sam, Sean Penn plays a mentally handicapped father who raises and eventually has to fight to retain custody of his daughter. His character is a huge Beatles fan, and at various points throughout the movie he interprets things and makes decisions by recalling (and applying) Beatles lyrics.
Allow me to pull a small Sam of my own by way of a U2 reference instead. At some point I read an interview or maybe it was in one of their books - - and this little story caused a little memory burn. Apparently in a high school English class, the teacher was talking about W.B. Yeats - specifically a point in his life where he had severe writer's block. The story goes: Edge raised his hand and asked, "Why didn't he just write about that?"
[I just applied that principle].
