lonely mitochondria seeking employment
September 23, 2004
The job search is rather daunting. I run into walls where I wonder how to best describe myself, how to put my best foot forward. This week I realized that I work much like the mitochondrion, creating energy or at least enabling others to work with more energy, establishing an efficient work space, […]

home sweet home
September 19, 2004
I wrote this in response to something written by a friend, and I thought it was worth sharing:
Home is something within you, that belonging and acceptance is something you give to yourself, and you put that home where you want it. To me, home is wherever you go back to center yourself, to reflect, […]

new comic directions
September 17, 2004
I like comics, and i like the idea of using different media to take a comic to different places. I really like what Scott McCloud was up to here with Mimi’s Last Coffee.

Sum movies
September 16, 2004
I watched The Sum of Us this evening. First off, it’s a good movie that is touching and somehow manly at the same time. Bravo. Second, it’s a good Aussie flick, and we should all watch more good Aussie flicks. Third… Russel Crowe makes a pretty good gay man.
I also took […]

the hearing on… what was that?
September 10, 2004
When I wrote about drugs in kids today I found myself wondering where in the world I would be able to find the proceedings of this ongoing hearing regarding the FDA.
While ranting at length, a friend pointed me to Congress’ publications online. (thanks Joe!)
To be more specific, what I am looking for will probably show […]

drugs in kids
September 10, 2004
Everyone worries about kids taking drugs, or kids getting into drugs. I have a hard time with the line of keeping kids away from drugs when, to be quite honest, we seem to give them drugs all the time.
The news this morning mentioned a hearing or a house subcommittee on the use […]

stranger email
September 8, 2004
I’m sure you’ve all received unwanted or at least unexpected email. We all get spam of one sort or another telling us how to boost our sexual prowess and how to increase our security and whatnot. Sometimes an old friend manages to find you out, sometimes you get that silly message saying you […]

Progress?
September 8, 2004
I’ve been trying to make some headway this week on getting things done, so to speak.
At least I finished reading a book. I was little overwhelmed by the choices offered by my bookshelf. I’ve read twelve books this year, and somehow I had thought it was much less than that. […]

Words for Writers
September 7, 2004
Though it took me a little too long, I finished reading The Forest for the Trees: An Editor’s Advice to Writers. It was a great read, and as someone who likes writing, the advice is both humbling and enlightening. Best of all, there’s that feeling that the walls that I run into are […]
