i feel...

i feel that the powdery snowflakes would land on my tongue, if i were to stick it out--but there's window glass between us.

We Feel Fine (.org)

http://wefeelfine.org/

Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world's newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling". When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the "feeling" expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.

like tropical fish out of water

my 2007 nanowrimo novel focuses--in an indirect and rather abstract way--on the news off the day. so here are the news of the day, for those who didn't catch it.

A tropical fish that lives in mangrove swamps across the Americas can survive out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.

as for the nano--i'm a bit behind, but working daily and am happy with the process.

time to log off and do another 1000.
