Looking around the house
Due for a comeback, I think.

Giving In
It is time to start writing again. For something that moves me so passionately, something that I feel with such force down in the depths of my very bones, I avoid it too often. I've been plagued with the fear of failure, the fear of not being able to achieve with my words the beauty and the meaning that I want. And I don't know where that came from ( Read more... ) -
Figuring it out as I go
I'm working on patience and not being overwhelmed. There is so much I have in mind to do, and the time to do it, yet I can't make much progress because instead of focusing on one thing at a time, I get caught up trying to attempt all things at once. And then there's the brain thing: that's where my brain gets in the way of my actions. I've thought ( Read more... ) -

I stepped out into midnight where the air belied both hour and season. Coyote calls lit the night with a sharp whine that set off backyard dogs like a rogue alarm. Modulations in pitch gave the eerie cries an electronic sound, like an AM radio caught between frequencies. A fog shrouded the sky, glowing with the light of the moon. Nothing moved but ( Read more... ) -
We're all mad here
"You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it." - Robin Williams
Tom Petty was wrong. The starting is the hardest part. The waiting is only hard because things have not started. It's easy enough to confuse the source of the feeling, anyway.

In the fog in the wintertime
This is one of my favorite things: http://maddieonthings.com/. I love how simple and yet endlessly entertaining the idea is. It doesn't hurt that the subject is adorable.
And another project I find intriguing: http://www.indiegogo.com/decades
Leaving in just a few minutes to get some things done. Writing and pictures in the fog. I would go surfing ( Read more... ) -

Lots and Lots of Pavement
I have my first official job as a freelancer, ironically supplied by my former place of business. Also working on an essay about the land down under for a nonfiction publication. The deadline's just been extended, which may or may not be a good thing (my dear friend Procrastination is much too insistent).
The day suddenly turned grey, but I must ( Read more... ) -

Why are the Smashing Pumpkins so fucking good (and don't say Billy Corgan, that's a given. The drummer's amazing, too)? Seriously though, the Smashing Pumpkins kill me.
Found this: "This is the goal of life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the ( Read more... ) -
It's the End of the World as We Know It
Damn. R.E.M. have called it quits: http://remhq.com/news_story.php?id=1446. I really would have loved to see them. It's the kind of news that upon hearing makes you begin to feel a little like someone's died.
One more hour of work, and then home. Maybe surfing. Empire of the Sun in three weeks, Ryan's birthday in ten days. Working hard to get ( Read more... )
