Long Weekend?

The disclaimer came from an Instagram that I posted literally a minute ago. I’m glad this picture has a place to live. I think it’s mysterious, and fun, and in the same tone as the stuff I usua...

Redrum

I don’t know why, but I’ve watched “The Shining” like, literally five times during This Modern Age. It’s always been one of my favorite movies, but it wasn’t until viewing number four o...

Auguries.

Oh, anachronimity. You know, I have a storage room deep in the American south. I still pay rent on it. And with each month it goes by, and with each rent check that I pay, I forget, more and more, ...

Cheeers to the Freakin’ Weekend.

What are weekends, again? I can’t remember. This bra just got a starring (or should I say… Supporting?) role on the Instagram, so I thought I would show it chilling out with a cold Spanish brew...

Low-Hanging House Bra?

So, one of you lovely lovelies just left a pretty cool question in the comments: “What is a low-hanging house bra?”

This, my dears, is a low hanging house bra. Every woman who doesn’t p...

Fitting In.

I don’t think I’ve ever actually gotten “stuck.” I think that kind of scenario is something that mainly finds its home inside of breast expansion stories.

Yee-Haw.

My apologies, everybody. I thought I could finally overcome the buttons on this shirt, but they are apparently stitched in with some sort of fiber that is stronger than adamantium. How dare it not ...

Notes of Geisel?

Where in the hell has this blasted year gone?

Has the whole damned thing been for naught?

Yesterday was March, and soon it’s November,

With gunpowder, treason, and plot.

Busted.

Recently, I’ve taken up a little social experiment. Something fun, frivolous, and silly to while away the time, and provide a little joy.

Here’s how it goes. Basically, if one of my Patr...

A Little Bit of Ragtime.

For no other reason than I was listening to some Scott Joplin, and decided it would pair up rather nicely. A small shred of completely stupid goofiness. Hope your weeks are off to good starts.

(Mini) Memoir Update, July 21

Hi guys! So, before I forget, one small update, just so you’re in the loop.

Originally, I said that the book is going to be printed by Blurb, using their “imagewrap” technology. This is...

Sweet Dreams.

My work schedule has been kind of jacked lately. For those out of the loop, I write content marketing copy. It can be a little soulless sometimes, but whenever possible, I try to write compelling c...

Good Cats Eat Ants

I’m not sure if any of you saw this today, but I posted this picture on Instagram just a little while ago. Within about 30 minutes, it got taken down. Violation of the TOS, with that pang of disc...

Memoir Update - July 9

Hi, guys! It’s been a little while, so I just wanted to give y’all a bit of an update on this memoir.

First of all, the actual text itself is coming along really well. I’m gonna pick ou...

“Ya Lost Today, Kid. Doesn’t Mean You Have To Like It.”

That quote doesn’t really have anything to do with anything. It’s just from that first scene in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” That movie came out in 1989, when I was about five, and...

Bring Out the Broom

The last months of spring had come and gone, and still, the leaves and dust had to come in from somewhere, and eventually, a sweep would be necessary, when she finally got around to it.  View Post

Waiting to Exhale

At some point in the not-too-distant past, we all took one breath that stayed inside of us. Usually, with the way breathing works, it's a pretty balanced thing. You breathe in, and then, you breath...

Well, a tiny little one. I have plenty of goodies coming over the next week or so for you lovely folks who are helping me create this thing.

It occurred to me that y'all might be interested in seeing the finished products! If you'll recall, long story short, a friend of mine approached me with an idea. She'd been getting back into sculp...

Effing Polytropos Buttons.

When Donald Trump got elected, I was talking to some old friends of mine in Mexico. We talked about walls, and bloviation, and how Mexicans had already adopted the slang term trompear (which basica...

Venus, Part 2

A little while ago, I wrote about the idea of the Venus. It’s frequently amazing how, if you put something out there into the aether, it eventually comes back to say hello.

Sauce No. 3 - Potentially Untimely Name?
