 Nattering
& Gromishing
______________________________
I've decided to include a selection
of random, silly thoughts taken from my old journals. This new
section is called Nattering & Gromishing * -- it includes writing
snippets from me (duh!), as well as interesting quotes from people
far wittier than I (no stretch, that). I borrowed the Javascript
code from Vera Nazarian's Web page
(what the heck, she'd also borrowed the code from another site**).
Anyway, be sure to visit Vera's site -- she's a
very talented (published!) science fiction/fantasy short story
writer. I enjoy reading her daily journals (far deeper thoughts
than mine...). She also has a great newgroup at news://news.sff.net/sff.people.vera-nazarian
-- feel free to join in on the lively discussions.
* The term "nattering and
gromishing" refers to the fake background conversation in
television and films. Actors (extras, of course) go around saying
"Natter-natter, gromish-gromish" repeatedly in the background.
Apparently the mouth movements when one is uttering such nonsense
makes it appear as if actual words are being spoken. But it's
only silly, meaningless drivel. I thought it an appropriate title
for my new section. <cough>
**Lest you think that Vera and I are HTML thieves,
the following was embedded in the script:
Author:Brandon Checketts
Homepage: http://www.apeleon.net/~microbit/brandon.html
Email: Brandon@microbits.com
Permission to use this script is given as long as this header
stays with the script.
Unfortunately, the above URL is
dead, but I've hyperlinked it to Brandon's
newer site (thanks to a search using Metacrawler).
See how thoughtful I am? Does this sound like the workings of
a thief?
