Writing about writing, and about writing on this weblog specifically. kind of pretentious and self-involved, but oh well!
Hmmm, each entry here been significantly longer than the one that came before it, an alarming trend that threatens flood the internet with overwrought, introspective text if it continues! (although this probably happened long ago, and with little help from me.) I had a similar problem with my first weblogthing, but it eventually slowed down to a regular pace, and then eventually to an infrequent crawl.
Today, I'm attempting to get things down to a manageable level early so that I'll be able to keep churning out something every day.
Soon I will also stop talking about this silly weblogthing and hopefully arrange words in a much more interesting sequence.
However, that day ain't today.
Instead I'm going to talk about why I picked "slowseason" as the address for this page. It won't take long.
The main reason was that apokalipsis.blogspot.com, nottheend.blogspot.com, endtimes.blogspot.com and other title-appropriate names were already taken. I briefly considered taking a name with a number in it, like my roommates Ed (twelvegates.blogspot.com) and Grant (50fifty.blogspot.com), but I sort of hate numbers a little bit. And anyways, there are too many weird numbers associated with The Apocalypse already.
So I just started throwing words together in my mind, and slowseason stuck. I don't really like it much now, but it's the address, and changing it would just make me harder to find again.
To me slowseason is kind of about California, where it's basically all one long springsummer, with none of the wild variance Erin and I saw coming across the Northern U.S. It also ties in with my feelings about an apocalypse or revelation -- they don't usually come all at once in a big climactic burst like in the movies. Mostly things unfold so slowly it's hard to notice, but things are happening, things are changing and the revolution, the revelation, is blooming right in front of us, even when we feel stagnant and like we're going nowhere. Everything's building, and that's life. That's the slowseason

The First thing You Need to Know
Jewel's New Album (by Kindred Fall)
there are more out there, I know it!
DOOD! most of those are characters from soon-to-be Aro scripts (maybe) and Grants nicknames. of course a lot of puns from aro. some of the ones that grant put were supposed to be Breakfast Epiphanies album names. and come to think of it, we ended up using your nick name! dang it!
btw... "pie to the pieless" is like a soap opera... it'll be a winner i tell you.
My personal faves are
Extension Cord Blues
and
Billy Corgan
Oh!
What about "'Billy Corgan and the Extension Cord Blues' - an album by Kindred Fall (not Billy Corgan)"???
Wow your are all very funny as i am sitting her laughing my ass off in the middle of a quiet Austrian library with my headphones on...whatever the album ends up getting called i want to hear it! pronto! so get on that! btw, Aro this post is most excellent and i love your explanations of slowseason in relation to apokalipsis/the end is near/etc. love, aaron
you know what else i just noticed? to tell the difference between a post by Aaron 'Aro' Humphrey and Aaron 'A/C' Choate, one must pay close attention to the name 'Aaron.' Does it have dashes like so?: -Aaron-
Does it just say Aaron like so: Aaron. With dashes = me aka a/c and without dashes = him aka aro. the end. is near.
can I be "!grant!" ?
NO!
How about
Human Pudding
Cold Cereal
Where the River Ends
The Hamburger You Never Ate
I like the last one the best!
