Spent the day working on some art for the first time in a few weeks, so that was a nice way to fill the day. This image below isn’t from anything I did today, but is an older one that I’m still happy with. Hope everyone’s weekend is going well.

I am only affiliated with an American political party (Democratic) so that I can vote in primaries. That’s it. Otherwise, I just stay firmly in the Independent category, because I’m not really a fan of politicians in general. Even the ones I’m a fan of, I don’t really like. And while I do basically just vote...

I’m going back and rereading my novel-in-eternal-progress, and… … it’s not terrible! Hooray! Maybe 2027 will be the year I finally finish the fucking thing. I’ve only been working on it for a decade now. Speedy, I am not, at least with this one. Maybe I can cut the production time on the next down to a lean five...

Just thinking, as one does, about the first and original Godzilla film (the original Japanese title being Gojira), released in 1954 as an allegory for the nuclear holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and how every adult actor in that film lived through, if not those two bombings, then all the rest of the bombings...

I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up the Blaugust momentum, but yesterday I just didn’t have the oomph to get anything done on the blogging front. It was a busy day at work, and after coming home and having some dinner, I just wanted to lay about on the sectional with my spouse and do nothing. A post a day month can...

Happy Elvis is Dead Day to those who celebrate! (Died on August 16, 1977. You have a year to plan ahead for the big five-oh anniversary next year!)

It’s been a long time since we’ve taken a road trip, and even longer since we’ve been able to spend the night away from home (you try doing that with a dog, two cats, and fifteen chickens). We figured some day we’d be able to do it though, and TODAY IS THAT DAY. Ahem. It’s only an over-nighter, to visit relatives,...

I’ve been revisiting some old archives in my writing folders, because to be honest, I’ve forgotten a lot of what’s in them. I’d say these particular folders go back about fifteen years, and friends, that’s a lot of writing just sitting there gathering dust. Most of it can just stay there, to be honest. It’s writing...

We live in the future now. There are no rules anymore. I’m too tired to post. This totally counts. Goodnight, all!

The fog coming in to work this morning was heavy, which always surprises me, living here in Maine. I assume that it’s normal for this area, but it’s still always a bit of a shock to go outside and not be able to see more than twenty feet in any direction. I’m already on the lookout for deer and wild turkeys and...

It’s morning, just after dawn, which is bad enough, but it’s also Monday, which makes it worse. I don’t hate Mondays in some existential Garfield sort of way, but it’s still a rough way to start the week. The dog is having a morning apparently, and refuses to do all of her morning business outside. She hates Mondays...
