Posts of Few Words #2

Over the next few weeks I'm likely to be putting up a series of these picture posts, as I'm quite busy with a number of real-life projects that are eating into my blogging time.  Odd, how time seems in short supply now that, in theory, I've got plenty of it, but there you are.  Words take time and consideration, but the pictures just happen.  Maybe a little too easily, sometimes, but that's something I'm aware of and working on.  Another project!

I must admit I'm never quite comfortable with that word, "project".  It always falls somewhere slightly odd inside the triangle defined by schoolwork ("I've got to finish my GCSE project by Friday"), celeb-speak ("Lady Gaga is developing several projects at this time"), and mighty works ("The pyramidical project proceeds apace, Your Pharaonic Fabulousness!").  It's hard to think of an alternative, though, so it will have to do.  Places to go, people to see, projects to develop!

The word is sooo precious. ("Project", that is.) Along with that righteous term "body of work". I'll be a corpse soon enough, thank you.

Kent,

Then someone will have an undertaking to perform!

Kent,

Now this is weird: I was looking at my stats for the week, and noticed someone had been looking at an old post from 2010 ("Me and My Shadow"), and who should turn up in the comments, using what expression (ironically)? Check it out:

One Note Wiley?

Definitely an odd coincidence. How does that happen?

Kent,

If I knew that, I'd be very close to knowing the secret of Life, the Universe, and Everything! (Did "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe" ever make to the States?)
