this one, while it's Part Of A Post Is In The Works, is still just like... a small hunk of the whole post. i'm not tacking the whole sequence to this post or anything, and i'm not stuffing this in the global feed because it ain't finished baking yet!
post seven's shaping up to be a longer and very different one (and way more prose-y than the prior posts. doing these ones a little differently.), so i thought id provide you all a preview of my work in progress. the first selection beneath the cut!
