Happy May Day.
So I bought a home recently. Well, specifically speaking, I purchased a house. After five or six weeks of looking I eventually settled on a place that probably would have fetched a much higher price were the economy not ailing, so I'm fairly pleased with my purchase (even though the home's value is $11,000 less than what I paid). Anyway, boring ( Read more... ) -
Draong*Con 2007 recaperation.
This year's Dragon*Con was pretty good. For the first time in five years I left the convention without feeling that overwhelming sense of depression at having to leave behind something so grand and wonderful. I live a pretty unenviable life, you see, and I really don't have all that much to look forward to other than things like Dragon*Con. So ( Read more... ) -
Day the Seventh
I got a very unusual call this morning from my district representative, Blant Crisweb. As it turns out, one of his aides had linked him to my cross-country journal here at Up!Scumbag HQ, telling him that he was in for a true reading treat. He was pleased that he was able to read my latest entry, but not very pleased at having to read my erotic ( Read more... ) -
Day the Sixth: The Next Generation
The chronicles of my 2001 cross-country trip continues with today's early morning post. In this installment you'll read about fierce bears, Interstate driving, and a potentially murderous hitchhiker with naught on his mind but the taste of a young man's kiss. You'll also discover which of the preceding examples I've embellished so as to hook the ( Read more... ) -
Happy Halloween!
Wow. Can you believe another year has just started to go by? It seems like just yesterday that it was 2006. It’s amazing to think that it was only three hours ago that 2007 rang her first chimes of the year ( Read more... ) -
Dragon*Con 2006 recap-a-thon
Thanks to many hours' worth of down time at Dragon*Con this year, I was able to chronicle most of the weekend's events into a notebook so that I wouldn't have to rely upon my stale memory when writing these memoirs. So enjoy my recollections of Nights Thursday and Friday.

Ladies (or pretty men), lend me your expertise.
Question: When applying a charcoal mask to mine facial features, am I suppose to slather the goop onto my face so that I can't see any skin underneath, or do I simply spread a light coating over my flesh so that my pinkened skin can be seen through the smears? My oily t-zone needs your help! -

Day the Fifth
I suppose by now you've heard the news. It's been on all the 24-hour news channels and a few of the more prominent politiblogs. I won't go into very many details (as the news agencies have their facts pretty much in order), so I'll just keep this nice and short. Yes, yes it's true: I have yet another road trip update for you to read. Please ( Read more... ) -
Day the Fourth
Day two of my Yellowstone Cavalade of Whisies was jam-packed with ghosts, creeps, the willies, and trolls. If your heart can stand the terror then read on. But it the very thought of horrible ghoulies frightens you then close your Internet now. NOOOOOWW!
