WRITING & REALITY: Morning
Black mornings promise everything, if the eyes can be believed. Well hell, there may be lilacs blooming out there now. But the air smells of snow, and the quietness speaks of change, and as I pull my robe around me … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Life as a Popsicle
This thought has been swimming in my brain a while, put off for seeking eloquence, a better way of saying it, and yet if this be my last year (or the next one, or the next), time is of the … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Much Betterer
My mood has improved with the discovery of a key that got me finally off the streets of Silent Hill and into a new area to explore, and a prime rib roast dinner with Yorkshire Pudding I made tonight. Ah, … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & WRITING: Mood
The rosy glow of the new year’s best intentions falls away like petals in a wind of grumpy mood. I’m so displeased with myself for submitting a story that wasn’t finished, wasn’t polished, wasn’t anything near what it could have … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Quality Time Together
Nice day yesterday. In the living room, Jim reading while I fight off monsters between writing stories. And in the background, every now and then we each look up and watch the bucking bulls and flying cowboys on tv. Continue reading

REALITY: Happy New Year
This is sad. Here it is, the last day of a year, and I can’t think of a single eloquent thing to say. There is a story forming in my head, and I may post that if it comes bouncing … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: PC Technology
That’s "politically correct" technology, I mean. Can’t help but smile at the Windows XP version of "Are you sure you want to quit this game?" from prior versions of Freecell and Solitaire: "Do you want to resign this game?" Clever … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Of Earthquake and Tsunami
Silently doing what I can, donating, praying, thinking. The magnitude does not relieve the grief of losing even one life. The possibility that generations, family lineage has been wiped out in villages where all who were related lived within the … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Priorities
And writing here is one of them, but there are a few gottado’s before I can sit down and tell you about my list of reading to do, my Christmas, and the acquisition of Photoshop, Illustrator, and Macromedia Studio. But … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Wishes
Merry Christmas everyone, and my best wishes for a New Year filled with good health, joy and knowledge. Continue reading
REALITY: Christmas Eve
Update: The propane man came, and I am no longer a virgin. Hey–wouldn’t you for heat? It takes five minutes of holding down the pilot button before you can fire up the stove; body heat helps. (And oh yeah, he … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Combined with Fantasy, Of course!
Willie singing "Take me down, little Susie, take me down…" And Neha didn’t care much for my cowboy music yesterday? While it is true, perhaps, that being here alone listening to Willie or Waylon (oooh-that sexy gruffness!) may make my … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA & REALITY: People Layers
Random thoughts this morning as I dress to start the day, looking at myself in new media methods of layering and what each layer means. When I was young, I wore a lot of hand-me-downs; from two older sisters, often … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Christmas Thinkings
Is it over yet–the shortest day? Today has dawned with the dawning that the days are shortest when I need them longest, just before the Christmas crunch. Traditions that I’ve clung to–cabinets of cookies produced for three weeks prior, the … Continue reading Continue reading
