Punctuation
I'm starting to think about life as a series of dramas strung together with a lot of nothing much interesting in between. At least my life anyway. It seems as if these days I go from not-a-lot-going-on to something-horrible-going-on like a big, double exclamation mark at the end of a sentence.
I'd like some of those in-between times. I wonder if it is the nature of my work. All day I work with people in transition, people who have their own dramas going on in life. And so in my off-time I just like to sit like a lump and let my brain rest.
The other day I was watching a preview for a kids movie thinking how much I loved those adventure films when I was little and back then just wished so fervently that life was like Narnia or Oz or wherever the cool place was that year.
So, right now I'm looking for more Oz and less punctuation. I want more commas, dashes and elipses and less periods and exclamation points.
