Since my last book related update I’ve been reading. I recently read on someone’s Facebook status that we should all strive to read two books per month. I immediately thought to myself, “That’s my norm.” However through November I read more than two, and I didn’t spend any less time with a book than normal. [...]
I’ve fallen into a pattern. It is the result of having a mostly-full-time job where I spend approximately seven hours of the day staring at one or the other of the two computer monitors sitting on my desk. I sit, I stare, I type some things. Ultimately meaningless, consumerist things that will not matter to [...]
Alright…It’s been awhile. Let’s get this done. New, and real, blog coming soon. How soon? Sooner than one would believe. Which I have to admit the amount of time you all are willing to believe I consider to be “soon” is bound to be an incredibly long time. I have a to-do list though! I [...]

Approximately one moon ago was my birthday. Upon that day I received some extra funds from various familial sources that I was told to use to procure any particular thing my heart desired. I managed to part with some of this funding over Easter weekend while visiting Gomez Art Supply. They are a lovely establishment [...]

I’ve been reading a lot of non-fiction lately. Most recently I finished Listen to the Echoes: The Ray Bradbury Interviews by Sam Weller, it was like sitting down and having a conversation with Bradbury himself each time I opened the book. I took away a few things from the interviews but one of the best [...]
I wrote this post with a 5 minute timer running. It was something that wife thought could be a good idea to get the creative juices flowing for the day. 2010 has been a good year. Despite the fact that when it began I was probably at the most rotten place I’ve ever been in [...]
