This isn't what happened when I made it.

kleenexwomanI think I'm probably the only person in the world who is upset that CastleZZT has suddenly completely changed. It used to be this enormous thing with weird cut-outs and mathematical diagrams that I had no chance of ever understanding and had to scroll down forever to read.
Temporalectopia is still there. And this story about a rectangle, which depresses me in a really interesting way. The other House of Stairs comics (I am wondering whether the title has anything to do with the William Sleator book) are here. There's a Metafilter thing with more links than are listed on the page here. I'm trying to find a web archive of the old page or something, but it seems to be gone forever.
I deeply admire Jack Masters. I have no idea why. I rather want to IM or E-mail him, but I am slightly scared to. I occasionally leave comments on his weblog. He even did a comic based on some meta-constraints I put up for him once.
Hmph. Anyway, Poetry Collective switched to 8 PM Thursday nights, which doesn't really change my schedule that much. I do little during the week.
BJ Williams explained why I shouldn't feel bad about not understanding my own poem; even he does not understand his own poems, sometimes. The important thing, apparently, is that someone does. Probably. Theoretically. You know, it'll eventually make sense to at least one person on the planet. AND THAT'S THE IMPORTANT PART.
I still feel like I should understand my own, though. I've got this one I'm working on that won't gel, no matter what I do with it, and I think I'm almost on the verge of knowing what it's about. Which means it'll turn right into a story. It's something about...mmm, I'm not sure. I do have two versions; one is the original, with straight lines, and the other one is pretty much clipped up and put together in some odd patterns. Debating whether to just post the first version here and see if anyone else can make something of it, because I've just about given up.
Interesting, the A key has worn off. It's completely blank. The E, O, S, D, F, G, H, L, B, N, and M keys aren't looking so good either. The other ones look fine.
I think I'll do a poll. I haven't done one in a while.
