I can't write.  It's not working, and it's making me crazy.  I set myself up earlier in the week so that today and tomorrow were completely empty days, just so I could devote them to nothing but writing time.  I did homework in advance, I made sure there was nothing I needed to commit my time to, just so I had nothing buzzing around to concern me ( Read more... )

I've had it.

This just in!  Despite a brief resurgence in the previous year, my experiences suggest smoking is at all time high levels of uncool!  This trend will continue, with smokers being forced to take on the role of apologist regarding their habit, and will be socially ostracized until 2076, when the Toyota-Marlboro corporation will merge with Frito-Lay ( Read more... )

I can maintain my silence no longer. To be fair, I guess I haven't been all that silent about it, but still. We're going to work through this.  I want to precede this by saying that there are people I know who are realistic and take this for what it is, and I want them to know I respect that.  This is not for them.  Now, here we go.

I am taking a break from writing the book to posit this. It has been rattling around my head ever since the other night's conversation with a certain friend in the midst of his enjoying certain chemical alterations ( Read more... )

So I've been doing a little cleaning up and cleaning out. Those who have seen the mountain of clutter I live in know that this is a long over-due process. I am a horrid pack-rat, and have a nasty tendency to cling to everything that ever once held meaning to me, as though somehow, in some unforeseeable future it may again ( Read more... )

I spoke to Chuck a few moments ago. He is packing up his home in preparation for departure.  He says he will be checking his email via various bases he stops at on the way.  He would like to inform you that he will be home in something between 10 days and 3 weeks.  He is sad to go, but like I imagine is the case for most of you, I am finding it ( Read more... )

Do not read this. It's probably not for you. You are human and have a pulse and won't care. You have been warned.

So Privateer Press, makers of Warmachine, Hordes, and general providers of kick ass miniatures are going plastic. I feel this to be not only a bad move artistically, but also a slap in the face to their fan base.

I don't care how it ( Read more... )

I want you to know, that I’m happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both,

A Texan version of me

Does he crunch numbers like me

Would he crack jokes with you in, a theatre

Does he know all your WoW names

And would he run all your games

I’m sure he'd make a really great Dungeon Master

‘Cause the roles that you played and the ( Read more... )

Howdy y'all. I am home from vacation early. Despite the brevity of the trip, I feel I would be remiss in not sharing some of the joy of Bryce Canyon with you, as I suspect that many have a colored vision of anything residing in the state of Utah. I feel it is important that I show you how, for me, the country out there can be. Much of this is ( Read more... )
