your name here. for the record.

so, after saturday's bout of blogorrhea, i've quieted down and decided to stop procrastinating the fiction-cutting (aided by the fact that my radio gig is giving me a brief rest as of tomorrow morning, and the shakespeare gig'g running about once a week until mid-april, when it explodes in a frenzy of elizabethan activity). so for the nth, but hopefully last time, i promise to get on it.
meanwhile, back @ the ranch, i think i finally found the thread.
since i got this collection of short fiction underway i've been trying to answer the question about what themes/ideas/vibes these stories share- if i wanna put them all in the same collection, i guess i need a premise- or so i been told- not that i decided it matters because i haven't, but i found the answer nonetheless- which leads to my current dilemma:
should i change the name of the blog?
of course, this is only an issue because i'm a little fussy about details (at least those i deem important)- i named this blog for 2things, the first being my pseudonym from my old sunday column (a double entendre referring to my specific situation, but only vaguely the sexual kind) and the second being the working title of my collection, based on the stories (after 2-and-change-years) having nothing in common that i could fathom. but apparently, the truth of oneself is hardest to see, and i only now (finally) realised that what all the stories have in common is me (duh!) so they're all (in different ways) about displacement.
right.
so i changed the collection's working title to reflect that, and thus feel that maybe i should change the blog-title too, especially as i'm supposedly about to start posting said fiction...
but of course, i don't want to change my url at this point, and being (as previously mentioned) a little fussy about details, am not sure how i feel about changing name and not address...
and there's the fact that the new-displacement-title works just fine in juxtaposition with "sweaty penguins" for the collection, but doesn't sound nearly as good with the sweet trini reference...
man. lame.
it prob'ly doesn't matter. but i care.
i guess if i can find a reasonable way to juxtapose 'sweet trini' and the whole displacement thing i'll change the name and live with it not matching the address.
and if not, then this post was word-practice...

walk good.
