I've recently begun watching Doctor Who. I am not sure why I have been so reluctant about this for so long. Well, actually I do know why. I remember seeing parts of episodes of the show when I was a kid, and I remember being terribly frightened for one reason or another. That fright was switched to derision as I got older, because though I ( Read more... )

You know how they say another year older, another year wiser? Yeah, well, let's think for a moment about what I have learned (or not learned) this year. You know, to show how much wiser I now am, having turned 37 and all ( Read more... )

Hello from ant1mat3rie on Vimeo.

Ah, summer! While I always love you, this time around, you are marked by my worry. When you end, what will become of me? I will possibly be unemployed with no idea of what to do or where to live.
