I hadn’t realized that it’s been 24 years since the assassination of Romero. I remember watching a movie about the whole thing in high school for Spanish class, since Mrs. Reilley wanted us to be aware of the Spanish speaking world in more than just “Me gustan chicos guapos” terms. That woman was […]

Worldchanging is a clean looking journal looking at things that are improving the world. For me, who reads the news and wants to give up even though I am active about a lot of things, this makes me feel like I’m not alone and there are many people out there doing amazing things. […]

I used to play with pill bugs all the time as a kid, and that was the name I was taught to call them. Course, I floated around to Hinterlands and saw the biggest pillbugs I’ve ever seen.
Things I learned:
pillbugs are crustaceans
they do in fact shed their skins (no those weren’t dried up pillbugs […]

Boing boing pointed to this great piece from David Gaddis titled “Piercing”. Considering I lived for a year with someone who was a body modification buff, this is a great piece that examines reactions in silence.

Finished reading Stephen King’s Gunslinger. The book is a fun romp with excellent twists of language and plot, jumping timelines very gracefully. I admire that and followed along easily as a reader, though I’m not sure what new twists the more recently revised version would bring to light. The book also has […]

It’s been more than ten years since I’ve read a Stephen King book. Granted, this fantasy-ridden story is a departure from his norm (or at least from the horror and more real world based “twisted and horrific”) stories, but I remembered what I love about his tone. I believe his style is quite […]

Anil Dash has made yet another insightful observation. The hospitality industry is obsessed with giving us ice, and why is this?
I thought much on it, and realized that this is a pretty weird phenomenon. Even in time share places the ice machines are everywhere. That’s a tad more understandable for me, since […]

A piece I wrote has been published in my writing group’s zine. It’s fun to be able to reference a piece of my work featured elsewhere. It’s worth giving a read. Here’s a preview for Midnight, all is… well?
Lying in bed, I think to myself, “I need to sleep, I need to […]

I edit a zine for my writer’s group. It’s a small, quarterly zine featuring short work from the writers in our group.
This month’s issue is up and available for everyone’s perusal. There won’t be another one until June, so enjoy. I’d love to know your thoughts.

This afternoon I saw a movie called “画魂” (Hua Hun, or Soul of a Painter). The movie stars GongLi, and as expected is a very sad, rather tragic, and moving story. While some people find her grating, she has a great talent on the screen, and it was fun to see director Zhang […]
