I had an interesting experience today. A lonely friend arrived to perch in my dining room for several hours. Luckily, I had pretty much finished what I had on my ‘must-do’ list for the day, and two computers were engaged in rendering their assigned duties, so, while I wasn’t thrilled to be held captive by his needs, it didn’t hurt the day’s productivity. And, in fact, I guess it spurred me to break out Apophysis and set up some parameters, then render them out on my new machine.

There may well be a couple of related novels, though writing zentao<\/em> into a novel is…er…proving to be a novel experience in its difficulty. zentao<\/em> likes truth, honestly, unvarnished perspectives. Anyway, so, here’s the result of all that.<\/p>\n I had an interesting experience today. A lonely friend arrived to perch in my dining room for several hours.
