Read this first if you haven’t already.
“He will not be easily found that one. Speak his name to these and they will aid you.”
Grandma’s words felt like a memory or a dream compared to the unexpected firmness of her grip. She gave me other instructions I think—maybe something about employing them before they [...]
Below is my effort to mimic a comic book. I’ve not written this but paraphrased from an actual comic book. I’m looking to reproduce the feel in my head not to pass this off as my own work.
The motivation for this piece is about ten years of reading comics and the newest version [...]
Fired up Adobe Buzzword from Acrobat.com this morning. I needed to port my login over to the new site. Plus a recent article on the Writer’s Technology Companion had me feeling guilty I’ve not given this platform much of a shake.
Of course I’ve been away awhile. I’ve been working on some hefty documentation at work. [...]
I watched Iron Man again yesterday. Alone because friends were unavailable and I refused to wait—plus, you only have some many opportunities in this household to ditch the kids and go out at all. I’m not a reader of the comic surprisingly, so I know nothing of the canon. While the X-men [...]
I toyed with returning to “The Thing Is“. Tonight I’m giving it a shot.
Olsen got started quick tonight. I planned on a conversation that started with “I can’t believe the fucking Cowboys lost again.” or “What the fuck is up with T. Boone Pickins anyways?” or “I still can’t believe they tore down [...]
“The dumbest fuckin’ thing is I should’ve known this was coming months ago.” The open window and the natural cadence of the truck’s engine didn’t drown the futility of Olsen’s hindsight. Mark Olsen’s parents gifted him with a common first name and a compelling to the point of use last name. When [...]
“Thus far this semester we’ve focused on magic as it applies to an individual. Starting with various incandescents and aurals. Then blessings, charms, and something else. And finally, last week, with shields. For the remainder of the course we’ll be looking at group magic.” The room thrummed with excited talk. The course catalog abstract promised [...]
Yesterday was not what I’d planned. I meant to write about the dialogue of Coupling. Watching Star Wars: Episode II last night reminded me. It turns out that no matter how much glamor you throw up on the screen to dazzle the audience, you can still fail big because you can’t get the right words [...]
I wrote the following last year on my 38th birthday. I’ve not had a place or time to release it. I wasn’t sure it made as much sense to the reader as it did to me. I’m going to pick up the thread of it later today, but thought I might let [...]
