Hey people, As you might remember, I promised a signed copy of my first novel, Lost Gods, to someone who went out and commented on the first pile of Dark Journeys interviews. Now that I have a second to breath again, I have taken the time to find the winner. The envelope please. Wow, this glue is strong. What is [...] Hey people, I started playing around with the theme of time travel. Here is the first part of my first effort. It’s rough, I’m not heavily editing it right now, but I thought it was worth a read. I will post part two and three next week! Winking Existence – Part One I knew when my head slammed against a [...] Anyone who knows me, or who has read Lost Gods, knows how important The Hold Steady is to me. I am pretty sure they are the best band making music right now, and I often (or always) listen to them when I am writing. In Lost Gods, Coyote takes Anansi to a Hold Steady show. That concert [...] So I don’t post a lot of the stuff I do with the kids. I’m not sure why, I just never got into it, besides a few “Talking with Tots” podcasts a few years ago.

This being the case, my wife and I went to see The Sound of Music at the Princess of Wales theatre this weekend. While there I was previewing the upcoming selection of plays, [...] I have a cold. I don’t get them a lot, but when I get them, they kick my ass. I have found that, for one reason or another, I can’t take any cold medication. They all mess me up in one way or another, so I just suffer through them, hoping that it will not last [...] I finally saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of The Crystal Skulls or whatever, and I was struck by a few things. 1. I found it much easier to believe the pseudo-spiritual religiosity of the first films than the pseudo-scientific babble of this film. Interdimensional beings indeed. 2. I know the characters are not realistic, but when I [...] I am once again amazed at just how insane the music industry is. After walking into an actual store, and buying actual CDs, the music industry has found a way to once again spit in my face. For my wife’s birthday I bought her a few CDs she has mentioned wanting. One evening recent she said, “Oh, [...] My son has a small doll that he has had since birth, which we call the Tickle Fairy. Since he was a teeny tiny man we would use her long, soft hair to tickle him. It was one of the first things that ever made him laugh. As part of Tarquin’s birthday celebrations I wrote up [...] |
