I am very happy with my
laptop. It’s nice to be able to write from various vantages. Sometimes, though,
I need to shed the distraction of the Internet and social media.
That’s when my AlphaSmart3000
comes in handy.
On Monday I set it up on our
dining table. You can see the beast itself below, a low tech wonder.

I enjoy this view of my
Christmas tree. Candles made the space even cozier.

So do kitties. Jezebel has
taken to using an old dog bed donated by my parents after their pet Rocky
passed away.

I turned around after taking
the above image to find Tilly begging at my feet. With nothing given her, she
lost interest and wandered away. Her meerkat posturing never fails to make me
laugh.

All the while I enjoyed music
through my Soundfreaq speaker. This morning I’m listening to Alanis Morissette’s
“Flavors of Entanglement”. It’s a beautiful album. Yesterday my soundtrack was
very different. I still lament the loss of Chris Cornell, who conceived of Temple of the Dog
following the loss of his friend, lead singer of Mother Love Bone.

Have you ever heard music by Temple of the Dog?

It's so important to be comfortable wherever you're going to write. Setting the mood so to speak.
ReplyDeleteI've not hear any music by Temple of the Dog.
Have a fabulous day, Darla. ♥
Amen on the first point. Hope you'll give this talented band a listen, though I'd understand if their sound isn't your style. Take care!
DeleteDarla, I have not only never heard any music by Temple of the Dog, but I've never even heard of Temple of the Dog!
ReplyDeleteI would never be able to write, or draw, with music. I would find it a terrible distraction! To each his own (my mother would then add, "said the old woman as she kissed the cow").
Pretty kitties you have.
Your mother sounds like a gem. ~grin~ Thanks for the kind word!
DeleteTemple of the Dog... '90s band? It sounds vaguely familiar. I was all into alternative from the late '80s until the mid '90s. (About 1995 I discovered that I was completely out of touch with music, and I never got back into it.) So, I probably know the music, but would be hard-pressed to name the band.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, though I'm sad you gave up on music. I'd forgotten you used to be an alternative fan. I can't stand a lot of the pop music today. 21 Pilots and Maroon 5 make me gag, and I'm starting to fancy a connection between my tastes and there being a number in the band name. Heh...
DeleteI have not heard music by Temple of the Dog. I will look them up. Your Alphasmart is awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope you enjoy! And I like this little thing. I'm thinking about using it after I spend a few more minutes (I hope that's all!) on social media. Be well!
DeleteI have not heard that music. The Alphasmart is a good idea to focus on writing. Your tree looks good.
ReplyDeleteIt does help my focus. ~grin~ Thank you! I'm enjoying my tree a I type. Be well!
