...unblocking the blogger's block

I've been in front of this screen a few times by now ... seems, I have been stuck as a dog in a bell jar: thinking too specifically about what a blog is, what it's purpose is, how it is to function as a research tool or even as a conversation between two ... how do you begin to make public an uncritical and silly note or an idea that within a few hours will have proved itself to be the most horrid idea you ever had?? Still, some thinking is good, some thinking is not good at all, and since part purpose of this blogging exercise is to answer the above through practice ... here goes, from the top in no apparent order and without censorship:

Do we want to give a home to the lost objects? If, the objects notable for their absence are notable in terms of how they inform an interpretation of the collections that exclude them ... then, in finding them a new home we would create another collection notable for its -- or, by its -- absences|absentee's(?).
Interestingly ... and while skating over so many issues (empire, status, class +) that it makes my head spin, at a first glance it also seems that nothing gets left out in the collections we have been invited to explore (well, skating freestyle indeed). I'm still very curious as to how things enter a collection (in the back of a mini ) and how .. if that entry is later regretted .. are they de-entered (dropped into a skip when no-one is looking?).

So many things to think about and even more to do! and now that I am officially blog-de-blocked, I will sign-off and try to enter a hypnagogic state for a moment to see if suitable ideas|solutions|simply interesting to-do lists automatically and effortlessly emerge.
