Anyway, I thought these were kind of silly!
But then a couple of months ago I came across this lovely website that makes word-clouds, and I started making them all over the place. I made a word-cloud of my cow-jumping-over-the-moon story (most-used words were "Vegetable-ears" [75], "moon" [73], and "barn" [48]), of the paper I was writing for class ("letter" [56], "Sara" [47], and "Coleridge" [45]), and of Book 1 of Paradise Lost ("thir" [66], "heav'n" [33], and "hell" and "gods" [16].
Here is a word-cloud of this blog:

It seems that I "really" enjoy "pictures" of "knitting" "yarn..." Really, an inordinate amount of fiber-arts terms made it on here! I guess I'm not really surprised by this though!Because they are fun, here are a couple of more word-clouds!

I've been knitting and knitting the last few days - I'm going down to Carleton this weekend and would love to have everything done by then!
Tomorrow I start my pottery class at the Northern Clay Center, and on Thursday, Julia and I are installing our sculpture at Parker's Lake!!
love, Jimmy
