So I have this ridiculously rinky dink phone. I've had it for years. I think it's probably the second cell phone I've ever owned. At the end of this month I'm probably going to be getting an iphone. So I'm pretty excited about that, especially considering the fact that it's like upgrading from a Commodore 64 to a new Mac. I have a job where I need ( Read more... )

So I don't have much of anything to talk about today. However! My wife sent me an excellent link about a pet that every comic nerd in the world should have. So I'll share that!

The Amazing, Spectacular, Sensational Spider-Lizard!

Y'know, unless you don't like Spider-Man or lizards... but if you don't I have no use for you!

So all I'm really going to do today is rant about football, so for those of you that aren't interested you'll probably want to ignore this one ( Read more... )

After I contacted the editor, he contacted me back and shared that he felt like I was making a mistake by dropping out of the anthology. We talked about it for a little while, and he convinced me to give it my best shot ( Read more... )

So I decided to contact the editor of the anthology he's putting together with the Digital Webbing talent and pull my "future fairy tale" from the book. Although it sucked while I was doing it, I definitely feel better about not having a sub-par addition, especially considering all the amazing ideas that were being put forth by other writers out ( Read more... )

Just now getting the chance to write in my livejournal for the day. I'm having a bit of a rough patch with feeling motivated to write lately. I think part of the problem stems from the fact that I feel pressured to make something profitable or worthy of the future out of the things that I write, instead of just writing for the sheer enjoyment of it ( Read more... )

Had one of the toughest runs I've had in a long while today. A friend of mine recently mentioned that I should switch my run up, not only by mixing in sprints or a faster pace from time to time, but also by seeking out new routes while running essentially the same distance. The idea being that your body won't get used to what it's doing and plateau ( Read more... )

Went to Great America this weekend (Saturday) with my wife, son and the family of my wife's friend. They have a young daughter who I believe is about a year older than Michael, but they're almost exactly the same size and they had a blast together. Michael really enjoyed riding the rides, and we got these classic pictures of him riding a "mini-drop ( Read more... )

If an annoying acquaintance got spinach between his or her teeth or an embarrassing salsa stain, would you tell them or let them suffer in shame?

I'm pretty good about telling people about stuff like that, even if I dislike them for some reason, just because I wouldn't want somebody to return that kind of animosity back in my direction at some point ( Read more... )

Finished the first issue of one of the fanfic series I'm taking on. That's a good sign. The issue ended up being over 6,000 words, and I'm pretty amazed that it ended up being that long. The final scene, in particular, kind of blossomed a bit and took on a life of it's own. I'd planned for it to be pretty short, sweet and to the point. I've been ( Read more... )
