Midnight Posts

LJ has finally gotten a new feature that allows one to queue up posts and have them automatically posted in the future. This is not exactly new in the blogosphere, but at least LJ did something that people can applaud.

I used to long for this feature back in the day, when I had at least a dozen blogging pals who were pretty active, posting and commenting regularly, before Facebook and Twitter. A number of them were obviously night owls, and I would have liked to schedule something for the middle of the night while I was asleep, or desperately trying to get some sleep. There is not a lot of point in the feature now, and it is all I can do to work up a few posts to scatter through my waking hours. But let's see if I can at least get it to work.

Sylvia

How complex and intricate are the workings of the nervous system. The electric shrill of the phone sends a tingle of expectancy along the uterine walls; the sound of his voice, rough, brash and intimate across the wire tightens the intestinal tract. If they substituted the word “Lust” for “Love” in the popular songs it would come nearer the truth.

-- Sylvia Plath Journals, 1950

Baby’s growing up. She’s ready for college.

Spring Break

Even bartenders here have noticed a certain taming of the spring break crew.

“They are very prudish,” said Margaret Donnelly, 28, a bartender at Tattoos and Scars who has lived in Key West for four years and remembers her own student antics “They are so afraid everyone is going to take their picture and put it online. Ten years ago people were doing filthy, filthy things, but it wasn’t posted on Facebook.”

The dying of a great American tradition? I can't really believe it. Maybe it's not so openly public anymore. But someone has to be having fun and putting the spring in spring break.
