Writer’s Block #5: I Love Wednesday

5 Sep

September 5, 2013

Writer’s block. Author’s bane. Shakespeare’s hob. Fifty shades of I don’t know. Whatever you call it, writer’s block sucks. So once again I turn to the list of oddball writer’s prompts used by “colleges and universities” around the country. Today’s prompt comes from The University of Chicago, from 2002: How do you feel about Wednesday?

How Do I Feel About Wednesday?

Ahh, Wednesday, named after the god Woden, goddess of my heart. Center of the week, center of my life. I love Wednesday. And why not? She is smart and beautiful, lovely and luscious, the woman of my dreams, my soul mate.

Now I admit that Wednesday Addams may be a bit young for me, but I think we have a connection, a bond, a mutual psychic link. And Gomez would make the perfect father-in-law.

I can only hope that Wednesday and I have a long and happy life. We are made for each other.

How do I feel about Wednesday?

I feel love.

My Beautiful Wednesday!

Picture Postcard: The Mosaic Buddha

Like yesterday, this is another picture I snapped in Red Hook. While I would like to give credit where credit is due, I did not note nor do I recall the name of the store in whose window I spotted this. It was an art store, closed. It seems like everything opened late in Red Hook.

This is a beautiful, happy piece. Click on it and you’ll see it is made of thousands of tiny tiles. Probably all of us at one time or another in grade school made mosaics out of sea shells or pasta, but this as far from grade-school art as you can get.

This part of Red Hook was really upscale, very new, There were offices of major investment companies, high-end shops (Tiffany was there), and restaurants catering to the fancy-pants crowd. As you’ll see in posts yet to come, Red Hook is not all hipsters and bankers. There is a lot of original, old-school Red Hook left too.
