We brought a newbie to the game last night. She never played a role-playing game before, let alone a Vampire LARP. I made her a Solemn Vow to entertain her if she got bored. Things went wrong, I got pulled into a monster plot line, and when it was all done, I think we said…
Not too long ago, someone told me something that made me stop, think, and assess. It was just three little words. “You’ve got baggage.” That’s it. Three little words that made me really consider their validity. My first thoughts were dismissive. “I don’t have any baggage,” I thought. “I got rid of all that with…
… just went up a bit. Not much, but a bit: http://suntimes.com/output/eb-feature/cst-edt-ebert05.html (Thanks for pointing it out to me, Jared.)
Last night, I watched the original Japanese version of “The Ring.” By myself. In the dark. Not wise.
Hey folks. In case you’re interested, my first story over at Neopets went live tonight.

You’ll need…

Opened up the Principia Discordia this morning to a random page and found this… In the year 1166 B.C., a malcontented hunchbrain by the name of Greyface got it into his head that the universe was as humorless as he, and he began to teach that play was sinful because it contradicted the ways of…
So, I’ve written four stories in as many days for my new job. I’m waiting for my new agent to tell me what he thinks of my novel. I’m thinking about all the shit that’s gonna go down on Friday. And I can’t write. Not a lick. Spuh. Hate it when this happens. “Writer’s block…
So, I’ve got three — no, wait — four stories in the cue, just waiting to jump into the Neopedia. I’ll point them all out when I get the chance. It’s fun, watching the artists illustrate the stories, make pictures for my words. Sometimes, it’s exactly what I thought it would be. Sometimes, it’s nothing…
