The question I battled in #632 was what to call the emotional state which is neither painful nor pleasurable. I came up with a few coinages but didn’t like any of them, and still haven’t one that I consider worth keeping. My next entry had to do with my semi-addiction to Civilization, the computer game I play too much of, and almost always lose. In #634 I returned to my quest to find a word for the feeling of no feeling and came up with a coinage so bad I refuse to tell you what it was. Next I discussed the difference between what a poem is as an object, and what it is as (I guess) a signifier–which is what most people take it only as.
Out of one of my more and more rare episodes of creativity the following mathemaku came into being, and I posted them in #636, #638 and #640:
I consider all of these unsuccessful drafts with potential that I hope to work on over the next few days. In #637 I had a variation I don’t now think much of on something of Geof Huth’s. Two entries later, this, which I no longer understand although I’m positive I did when I made it:
Which takes me to the end of another set of ten entries from my old blog.
