It occurred to me that I hadn't updated this in a while, and upon discovering that the last thing I'd posted was a rather maudlin affair, I figured it was time to get that replaced by something else ( Read more... )

Well guys, here I had been entertaining the idea of being a dude who was not single anymore--but it was, alas, not to be. I had a surprisingly comfortable conversation with my ladyfriend about how she just doesn't feel that way about me, and I revealed that, well, I'd kind of figured it out and come to grips with it already ( Read more... )

Runs the fuck away from me is how it runs, I tell you what.

Okay so I got a book today (Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary by N. Katherine Hayles) which has basically devoured me body and soul. Not the theory itself--it's a continuation and extrapolation of what she started out with in Writing Machines, which is pretty damn ( Read more... )

More like 'whoops I am repeating post titles,' am I right guys? Yeah, I'm right.

I'm also writing, which I haven't done in a while (at least on this thing) since just before the fall of 2009 and the rise of 2010. Figured I'd let y'all know what's been happening since the year started ( Read more... )

You may have noticed that updates are few and far between.

Lots of working on the house. Got the ceilings down, got some walls down, and tomorrow? Tomorrow I will get more walls down. Whoo ( Read more... )

That's what I really want/need right now, but I've got to be down in a lobby in less than three hours, so I'd better not risk it ( Read more... )

So I got an email today which said that I'd scored a first on my poetry essay--I don't have the actual numerical value yet, but I will pick up the actual essay tomorrow and see what it is. A first on my first proper essay written in years is a pretty good pick-me-up though, and so I have been in a pretty happy mood since I got the news ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think that I'm living in some kind of film about the various ways that one dude can be thrown into situations that make him feel of two minds about a thing. It's not a very good movie, I don't think. And certainly whoever made the movie seems to be a little too fond of the trope ( Read more... )
