Action Blogging

You might (or you might not) be wondering about the apparently random changes of font size and colour on these pages. Listen, sometimes it's deliberate and sometimes, as with the previous entry, it's accidental. Computers are as mysterious to me as other people. But I leave them all in rather in the spirit of William Burroughs with his shotgun action painting, where he would fill balloons with paint, attach them to a door, then shoot at them and watch as the colours, exploding against the door, mixed in spontaneous new colours and patterns. This is action blogging; we find the form as we progress, using unconscious compulsions and atmospheric conditions--the electrical charge of the moment--as our guide.
Saves me actually having to come up with something attractive and original in advance.
