It is interesting to me how much damned time with my writing and creative works is dedicated to administration. Some of this has been created by the fact that I write so damned much, have so many projects in a state of non-completion, and am intent to actually bring them home. Ambition is also codified… Read More Friday
The weekend was defined by welcoming a new cat to the house. A tiny little bundle of fur and temporary fury called Miracle, who is a beautiful tortoise-shell. Scared cats are an interesting thing to deal with, and they do pretty much always follow this pattern of establishing and defending their territory. Slowly scenting the… Read More Monday
It’s the morning – and I am awake a hell of a lot earlier than I intended to be. Well, partly true. I knew I had to be awake, but my Saturday morning sleep is kind of the necessary energy recoup point of my week. I tend to be low energy most of the week… Read More Saturday

I’m sure the pay… Read More Sunday

There is an assumption, or rather an accusation levelled at you about your emotional state, your rationality, your intellect, and at base your entire education. The thing is, no questions have been asked, and no effort has been… Read More Monday / Tuesday
I’ve been frankly shit at keeping this rolling on a regular basis, but perhaps the sporadic nature of the entries serves as its own commentary. I have been on a Preacher marathon today – watching pretty much the whole first season – I may let the last episode slide until tomorrow. I like Hulu. I… Read More Sunday
