Well, not really, it’s hardly worth that – but doesn’t it kill you when one little issue in your daily life can so fully absorb you brain you become a worthless hulk of anxiety for days at a time? What? It never happens to you? Liar! Okay, maybe you’re telling the truth, but it happensContinue reading “i can haz breakdown now?”

can someone ‘splain this to me?
Math makes my brain hurt, I admit. But, like most of us, I do basically understand odds, or at least the concept behind them. So when I read something that makes me go “Whaa?” I do a little research, so I don’t ask and look like an idiot. Only this time, my research made meContinue reading “can someone ‘splain this to me?”
like nothing else
Writing a novel – reaching through an entire, full length piece of work right up to the end – is a feeling like none other you can imagine. Or not. I’ve just typed The End on the first draft of Ether, and the feelings are here now. There’s Elation, having just completed writing a full-length novelContinue reading “like nothing else”
pet my peeves
Yes, I have a pet peeve today. It’s people who ASSUME. Yeah, we all know what you do when you assume, so I won’t repeat it here. But another thing you do when you assume is teeve me off! So, the other day, I’m in the city and suffering from a severe low blood sugar.Continue reading “pet my peeves”
the romans are coming!
I mean, they’re already here. And I’m going to see them. Tomorrow, as a birthday treat, my sister is taking me to the Seattle Art Museum to see the Roman Art exhibit on loan from the Louvre. It’s only there until May 11th, and if we go this weekend, we can see the brass GatesContinue reading “the romans are coming!”

mr. innappropriate
I love baseball. Seattle Mariners baseball, to be specific. Sure, they haven’t exactly made it to the world series or anything, but heck, it’s baseball. I love football, too, but one of the big differences between being a fan of the two is; while I can watch a Seahawks football game and get excited, IContinue reading “mr. innappropriate”
it’s the end of the world as we know it
Well, not literally, it’s not. Just the final chapter in this overly long story from a million years ago 🙂 And I can think of nothing terribly clever to say about it. I’ve been so deeply into writing Ether lately I haven’t given much thought to anything else outside of eating, sleeping, avoiding naps, andContinue reading “it’s the end of the world as we know it”
post-nap, day 4
So far, so good. Since Monday, I’ve made it home after work and managed to avoid lying down on the couch for a pre-dinner snooze ! I’m enjoying it, but I’m sure it’s going to get harder to do before it gets to be a habit. On Monday I cleaned the kitchen. On Tuesday, turnedContinue reading “post-nap, day 4”
the end of an era
Arthur C. Clarke has passed. MSNBC I find this quote quite telling of the great man: “Sometimes I am asked how I would like to be remembered,” Clarke said recently. “I have had a diverse career as a writer, underwater explorer and space promoter. Of all these I would like to be remembered as aContinue reading “the end of an era”
