Fabrications
I’ve decided the true story of my injury is very dull. I need suggestions of tales I might tell others, including my students whom I will be seeing tomorrow. Any ideas? The bruising is getting more colorful, as it tends to do. Will have to get another picture soon. Still no word on the x-rays,…
iTouch Things
I have a new computer. It has a camera. It has PhotoBooth which has some nifty effects. With the educator’s discount, I got a free (eventually) iPod Touch. It’s charging. We’ll see what it does when it’s ready. Of course, there’s still the transferring of files to do…
Publication: Book
No, not a book publication yet (although creeping to the end of the novel even now), but a very short play called “Book” because that is the central issue of the narrative. More a comedic sketch than a play, I suppose, it will appear in the next issue of Mused. Yep, the same folks who…
Happy Birthday, Mildred!
Happy Birthday, Chuck! I couldn’t find a picture of you I was sure you’d approve of posting here (hey, one of the pictures had you with long curly hair…), so here’s a picture you took in NC. Hope you’re having a great day. We had a good day with the Boojums yesterday, chatting and what…
A New Look for the Serial
Pop on over to The Mangrove Legacy to see the new look for the blog — and of course, the latest episode. I’ve added a character list for quick reference and added an image (the one there at present will probably be just a placeholder while I look for a permanent one). If you haven’t…
Baby Jane
On the way to the post office and grocery store today, I walked past a woman I have seen once or twice before so she’s probably local. The weird thing is she looks an awful lot like a latter day Baby Jane Hudson with her garish lips, raven-kohled eyes layered with blue and a thick…
Summertime and the Livin’s Easy
Off on an early flight from Albany, briefly stopping over at Baltimore. In Carolina now at Susan’s palatial home, relaxin’ as if this were something I did everyday. Kitties surround us waiting for patting. Snacks and bevvies at hand with plenty of friendly conversation. It’s good. Oh, and there’s the shiatsu massage chair (reason for…
More Moore — and More!
Part two of pal Pádraig Ó Méalóid’s interview with the Alan Moore is up at the Forbidden Planet blog (along with lots of other cool news, interviews, etc., so wander around and take a gander). I’m deeply envious that my pal Paul Hamilton is heading out to see Michael Palin and Terry Jones present “The…
