Writing, Dreams, and the Creative Process

3/31/2006 – 1:40 pm

The more I think about this, the more curious it seems. From the comments in the previous post (for people reading this on LJ): Paul said: I heard some psychologist once say that dreams are so crazy because it’s our brain trying to make sense of a random series of thoughts and images. Trying to [...]

In My Dreams

3/31/2006 – 10:48 am

The cat’s circadian rhythms need some adjusting. Currently, his sleep cycle dictates that he wake up in the wee hours. Whether his circadian rhythm prompts him to wilfully disturb the dog, I can’t say. What I can say is that the ensuing shenanigans have woken me up most nights for the last couple weeks. It [...]

World Cup Sign Language

3/29/2006 – 9:08 pm

If you frequent my blog, you already know that I’m giddy with anticipation regarding the World Cup in June. It pains me that the world’s game has enjoyed more popularity as a spectator sport in America, and some people have told me it’s because they just don’t understand the subtleties of the game. So I’ve [...]

This Internet Thing is Neat

3/29/2006 – 12:10 pm

When I first decided to make a go of writing fiction, no one I knew ever really had a go of it. A high school teacher of mine seemed to be publishing all the time, so I contacted him to get the scoop on his career. Turns out he published just 11 things to various [...]

Wiped Out

3/28/2006 – 11:19 am

I finished editing the first third of “Castleneff” last night. Twice. I’ve got a flash drive that I carry around so I can have my catalog of writing with me, and then I sync it with my computer at home and have a couple backups. I was having problems when I moved files, though, because [...]

You Got MULCHED!

3/27/2006 – 9:58 am

If I talked smack to my yard, that’s what I’d be telling it. Yesterday was spring epitomized. Sunshine. Bird twittering. People pretending it was warmer than in actually was. Amy had some downtime so we decided to knock out the pre-season yard work. Fifty Bags of Mulch (only 20 shown here) The walkway before… …and [...]

“We’ve Only Got Ten Men”

3/25/2006 – 2:00 pm

I watched most of the Liverpool–Everton derby this morning. The first half was awful but it was good to see P. Neville score an own goal, because he’s a ponce. Stevie G. got sent off in the first twenty minutes so Liverpool played the majority of the game a man down yet still managed to [...]

And I Should Probably Mention…

3/24/2006 – 11:09 am

…you should brace yourself for more footie-related posts over the next two months. The European leagues and cups draw to a close in May and that’s always exciting. But there’s the small matter of there being a World Cup this summer, you see, and that only happens every four years. And it’s going to be [...]

Deutschland über Dämlacks

3/24/2006 – 10:46 am

So I watched my DVR’d edition of US vs. Germany, where the huns won 4-1. For those of you not in the loop on international footie, Germany lost to Italy by the same score last month and the nation was up in arms. They’re hosting the World Cup in 2 months and 6 days and [...]

Shock Result!

3/23/2006 – 1:09 pm

The United States Nat’l Team got waxed by Germany 4-1 yesterday. According to FIFA, that’s the #5 team on the planet getting done over by #22. So this is an upset, right? And it should give hope to the US’ World Cup opponents, Italy (#11) and Ghana (#50) that they might be able to upset [...]
