climbing out of the trenches

October 22, 2004

I have felt rather abysmal this week. Not physically sick, just emotionally unfit. Thankfully, a day of sleep yesterday and I feel better today, a little better suited to face the world. I need to be doing more, though. Sitting around doing nothing is something akin to a slow and painful death […]

fallen

October 22, 2004

I like beauty of line in a comic, and to have it be a fantasy comic is all the better. For some stunning visuals, check out fallen, and admire.

comedy vs commentary

October 17, 2004

In case you missed it, Jon Stewart was on Crossfire. If you missed it, you can check out the transcript. Better yet, you can watch it (35 Mb wmv via whole lotta nothing).
I have seen a few takes on this piece:

progress is good for the soul

October 16, 2004

Last week a friend lent me Life of Pi. I’ve been excited to get started on it, so I pushed myself to finish reading Eyes of the Dragon. It sounds silly, but completing that made me feel really good. I was struggling and putting off finishing the book for some time. […]

Eyes of the Dragon

October 16, 2004

The Dark Tower series has had me very excited, so after I finished reading the last nonfiction book I was working on, I decided to take on another Stephen King piece. This time I read The Eyes of the Dragon.
Some folks would say it’s different because it’s a more “normal” fantasy than King would […]

Northfork

October 14, 2004

I’ve been on a bit of a “watching” spree since I’ve been out of the loop for a while and enjoying a new Netflix account.
Northfork was pretty interesting since it’s so visual. The sights are stunning in a subtle way, and the movie is compelling in a subtle way. Definitely something neat to […]

October 13, 2004

Well, I have stumbled across Spamusement, which is celebrating it’s 100th strip. It’s quite funny and worth a gander and a giggle or two.

Timing

October 11, 2004

Everything is distance and timing. Once these are mastered everything else will come naturally. Great advice in fencing that applies to the rest of life. You have to know where to be, when you want to cheer someone else up you have to know exactly when to insert that word that might bring a smile […]

am i a braindead zombie?

October 8, 2004

When I work, I am a very organized person. I like to make order from chaos, I like problem solving. When everything is perfect I can get a little batty. Unfortunately, this is a constant state of being in my folks’ house. My mom is unbelievably neat (even with half the […]
