Henry Green and the Golden Chalice: Chapter One
Henry Green and the Golden Chalice
Author’s note: I started this project with an end game in mind. Yesterday, I pretty much spoilered the heck out of my sister (don’t worry, we spoiler ourselves for pretty much everything around here) and then asked her whether she thought that she would enjoy the story more or less if she knew what the end game ( Read more... ) -

Well, at this point my Harry Potter fanfic has moved so far away from its source material that I have to reclassify it as an homage or possibly a deconstruction with some satire and parody in there for good measure. The idea was to re-experience Harry Potter by writing a story that would follow a similar structure, but would take some unexpected ( Read more... ) -

Once Upon A Time 1-6: The Shepherd
Watching Season One of Once Upon A Time reminds me of why I liked this show so much back when I first discovered it. At its best, it's really well-crafted and a joy to watch... but after watching Season Two, I have to wonder if that's purely an accident. The writers just sort of stumbled into creating something good.
( Wow, that episode turned out good somehow ) -
Once Upon A Time 1-5: That Still Small Voice
Well, I'm back from a lovely long weekend in Disneyland except for the part where I got food poisoning and puked in California Adventure. Yes. Really. That actually happened. And then I felt fine and we headed over to Disneyland to ride Space Mountain. Yes. Really ( Read more... ) -

Talking about Harry Potter a few posts back made me think about how much fun it was back when everyone was reading those books. At least for a time, I really loved being able to go on that journey and to spend time in that world. So, I bought the first book on Kindle. Interestingly enough, the reason I got that first Kindle was so I could have the ( Read more... ) -
What it takes
Every time I try to respond to the "What it takes to become an opera singer", I end up with this massive long diatribe that goes on forever. Even when I am going out of my way to be kind and talk sense, there's still a crapload to say because everything is wrong. EVERYTHING.

Saturday was so freakishly hot that I ended up filling up my dog's pool so that I could sit in the water. It doesn't get much more pathetic than sitting in a frickin' kiddie pool full of dog hair with a German Shepherd who is kind of annoyed that you're taking up all the room. The air was so hot that I didn't even need a towel to dry off. In the ( Read more... ) -
De-cluttering
If asked, I would tell anyone with an internet that content is better than no content. It doesn't matter if you have nothing cool going on right now. It doesn't matter if you're tired or busy or in a bad mood. No one cares that you're in a period of transition because we're all in transition all the damn time. Just do something, dammit. Something ( Read more... )
