It’s the end of the year and I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them. Yes, I’m celebrating Festivus, as usual, and the feat of strength is to find a top entrant for each arbitrary aspect of the year I feel like grieving about. Well, what are we [...]

The line was; the sun is in my heart. It was part of a thing that was spoken in my class. I heard the line, there was a nanosecond pause, and then into my head flooded a ton of ideas and thoughts. Summed up, I’m thinking, Cosmic Creation and Chaos. From that line, those six [...]

I love The Shins, and so does every latte drinking fool with a beret on his head and this season’s latest Stephanie Meyer release tucked under his hairless arm (and yes, Twilight has replaced Harry Potter as this season’s de rigeur reading must-do), and as much as I love their sound it is always their [...]

I was in bed for a long time last night whacking some notes in on my new novel idea. It’s something that’s been percolating for a while but I haven’t been able to completely flesh it all out in my head. Now is that time for the fleshing out. And, I had a break through. [...]

Some of the first cd’s I ever bought were soundtracks. I’m a movie geek, so my music tended to stem from there. Aladdin. That was my first cd, oh so many years ago. From there stemmed more good stuff. Pulp Fiction. Reservoir Dogs. Desperado. From Dusk Till Dawn. (See the pattern yet. Hey, there were [...]

It’s the end of 2008. Holy shit is the only way to describe it all. I am sitting in an empty house right now, the laptop heating up my thighs (but not my pills, I want to have kids one day) and I have my feet up on a removalist box full of kitchen gear. [...]

I can’t force myself to write. It would just never work. And, I’ll even admit, not every single word I pump out is solid gold. It’s true. When something is kicking well inside me I just have to sit down and write it. It has to come out of me. It’s a feeling I get [...]

I’ve been gone for two weeks. I’ve travelled many a click to go right up the Australian coast, right back down it, got over 2000 clicks done in one day between planes and automobiles, no trains though, and caught up with many people. Drank a few litres of gin, some port and ate a lot [...]

I have holidays coming up and I’m kind of stockpiling jobs that I want to do during them. I have two weeks and I’ll be spending the first week in one town and the second week in another, so planning is essential. I will not be at home with my usual array of toys. I [...]

I find that music is very important to mood. It can make or break it so you better well bloody know what you’re doing with it. I find it weird that certain music can elicit one feeling one day and a completely different tone on another day. Perhaps it is just the Gemini in me [...]
