IT’S MAY???!!! And a third of the way through it?? WHO KNEW?
Well, I guess that I sort of did in the sense that the deadlines I had this week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday all got met, but for my internal calendar and clock it was more like these are critical and they’re due Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, not May 7th, May 9th, and May 10th. It might seem to be a subtle distinction, but it’s a big difference in my head.
(YES, the interior of my head might be a bizarre place at times. Anyone reading this site for a decent chunk of the last 11+ years should have noticed that before now.)
Some may wonder – “What *IS* a ‘No Context For You’ post?” Well, first and foremost, it’s an indication that my brain is fried and my creativity on that day is probably at a low point. So, you know how when making a TV series there were various tricks they use to create a weekly episode or two to catch up with the calendar when they were falling behind schedule? The original series of “Star Trek” for example, re-edited the original pilot with a few minutes of quick, simple new footage using only a couple of actors to come up with the two-part episode, “The Menagerie.” Even shows like “Murder She Wrote” and “M*A*S*H” did this sort of thing.
“No Context For You” is similar for my use. They usually use an image which gets taken by accident (the photographic equivelent of a “butt dial” on my cellphone camera) but which I keep instead of delete because I find it somehow interesting or useful. Then I stick it on here with some random train of thought blatherationings (like…THIS!) that have nothing to do with the image and generally doesn’t explain a thing.
Presto! Change-o! We have a daily post and pray for more inspiration (or time, or both) tomorrow. Thank god for “tomorrow!”
