I had a very productive weekend. Got the first three chapters and synopsis of Nurk Two done and sent off, got a cover approved and done, went out with a friend, did a little more moving prep. Feelin’ generally accomplished. As a result, I’m gonna be a total slacker today and lounge around napping and […]

Went out with a buddy last night, had Turkish food, and saw “Michael Clayton” which was a surprisingly good movie, despite the fact that I never watch legal thrillers. Go figure. And last night, what did I dream about? George Clooney? Paperwork? Environmental activism? Noooo. Instead, the brief discussion of cannibalism over dinner* spawned a […]
If the day ever comes when a bluegrass cover of Sabbath’s “War Pigs” does not fill me with unholy glee, please shoot me at once.
I am a post-it note fiend. I scribble notes on them constantly. Then I lose them. Then they turn up six months later in a pile of papers and look important so I save them, just in case. This is a personal flaw, but eh, so what–I don’t actually have to get over all of […]
You know, it’s an odd thing. I think someone mentioned this back when I first blogged about Effexor, and if so, they were right–I have found my appetite has undergone a peculiar shift since I’ve been on meds. Namely, I no longer seem to like pasta very much. This is kind of astonishing, because pasta […]
My thanks for the discovery that the artist I was after was Glen Rabena. We crashed his bandwidth, unfortunately (and now I feel guilty!) but he’s really cool and you should check him out. Just not, err, right now. The reason I’ve been looking for Haida artists is because I’m planning on getting another tattoo. […]
Six days until I take posession of my new apartment. I can tell this is foremost on my mind because I dreamed last night that I was inventing a video game called “Sofa Wars,” where, following a voodoo holocaust that eliminated humanity, furniture had come to life and invented its own civilization. You played the […]
Okay, gang, this is a long shot, but you’ve amazed me before… I’m looking for a particular artist. He was or is a Native American, and worked in Pacific Northwest motifs–Haida or Tlingit or Kwaikutl or Salish or….something. However, there was a particular oddity to his work. It was the usual bold black and red, […]
Well, granted the interest in the commission, let’s give it a whirl! Bird Commission Auction
Went in to the doctor for my State-of-the-Meds checkup. “Congratulations!” she said. “You’re a textbook case of how Effexor is supposed to work. Come back in three or four months and we’ll re-evaluate, call if you have any problems, and you’re good to go.” I got lucky, obviously–first drug worked like a charm. Thank goodness. […]
