Last night I had a long, complicated, unpleasant dream–with more yelling at ex* and some sexual frustration and broken pipes and a nest full of hummingbirds (that part was cool) but the bit worth recounting occurred while driving away from a Lowes, across the moors. (No, we don’t have moors in Pittsboro, but some had apparently come […]

I have a new monitor. I carefully shepherded my ancient and beloved refurbished Trinitron across the country and back again. I loved that beast. It was a fantastic monitor. But it was old and it was HEAVY. I had to rely on other people to move it, and that honestly always frustrated me–it was the one […]
Sofawolf Press is at Comic-Con today, booth #1703 and selling Digger #4! Stop by, say hi, see the nifty banner of Boneclaw Mother!
So I have been playing…or…err…interacting with…sort of…for a value of "interact"…this game…for lack of a better term…called "The Path." What follows may have spoilers. I’m not…actually…sure, so I’ll cut-tag it, just in case. I heard about it on NPR, which probably I should have realized meant that it was not exactly God of War-style hack-and-slashery, and it […]
Analysis upon first looking at the D&D 4E Player’s Handbook… 1. You don’t have to be lawful good to be a paladin? And you can’t fall from grace? Ever? If you’re a bad, bad person, your god doesn’t care, and it’s up to your order to hunt you down? …where’s the fun in THAT? Where’s the […]

It looks like a cross between a bumblebee and a hummingbird. I have absolutely no motivation to work right now, so yes, I’m spending a lot of time staring at my […]
Over a hundred Dragonbreath 3 illos to go. Two months and some change to do it. Plus a whole lot of other stuff that really really needs to get done. This is the last even remotely detailed digital painting I’ll be able to stand doing for awhile, I suspect. Rabbirds: Mourning Doves Somehow, I get the feeling […]
I have advance copies of Dragonbreath 2: Attack of the Ninja Frogs! Woohoo! The irony is that the stuff that needs to get fixed has already been noted on the .pdf by the time you get the advance reader copy, so it feels like the one flaw on page 97 that you wanted them to change has […]
Okay. Moving on. We can do this. The garden is lacking in birds at the moment–my own fault, I let the charge run down on the flipper birdfeeder, and the squirrels ate all the seed. It’s recharging now, and I’ve refilled the thistlefeeder, which is poorly designed in that there’s a half-inch of thistle seed […]
