Things to Do to Prepare for a House Guest
Buy Cherries. Remember they’re coming.* Manipulate them into a situation where they are obliged to let you take funny pictures of them. More cherries (the glacé ones not the real ones). Alcohol. Me: Wuffie liked my idea. Paul S: What was your idea? Me: Jared wants us to watch Ponies. I think the rest of […]

Dreaming the Melodrama of the Teen Experience
September 23, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
I am trashed out of my skull. No, not with the alcohol. I am not drunk. Why do people keep asking me that? I am just… not on speaking terms with the sandman right now. I tried staying in bed thinking, Sleep now. Sleep is good. Sleep is my friend. We should all be friends […]

Draconian Vendettas and Cake
September 22, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Me: My brain hates me today. It is a block of wood on top of my neck mocking me about my inability to form sentences. Wuffie: *head pets*. That’s no good on the block headiness! Or should that be headedness? Me: I don’t even know anymore. On the up side, if you don’t sleep at […]

Wednesday Poetry: Six
September 22, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
I crack my toes in the morning —languidly— and I think of you, as if beside me. That’s how the phrase turns. The nitrogen burst, like that of an upward-open eye. Pop! Could we laugh at that? And I know. I wish. To laugh in bed with you. It’s only one morning were I wake —and […]
Do Not Anthropomorphise the Books
September 21, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
Paul S: …and he really liked it. Me: Well, yeah, they’re like hilarious crack cocaine. So you told him you were a dealer, right? That maybe you could work something out? Paul S: I’ve got a couple in my bag. Me: Just to get him started. Paul S: Exactly. I have a problem with books. […]

Bibliotek Special! Chapter Five.Three
September 20, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
They were all browsing while they talked and Graham had edged away to the back of the store by himself. In his hands he had a browned, but clean-edged bound. He turned it in his hands, it was odd, but he felt no thrill in that. Bringing it to his nose… there was nothing, the […]
Exploding Dog
September 20, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
There is an online comic called Exploding Dog. It’s pretty cool. In some ways it’s more a series of connected pieces of art than a true comic. Also, you should maybe know that while there is a dog in it from time to time I’ve never seen it explode. And it’s certainly not about the […]
Monday Blurbs: The Song of Dalsarion
September 19, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
A bit different to last week’s entry, the Song of Dalsarion comes from two interests of mine: Dungeons & Dragons and writing verse. Dalsarion was one of those poor characters you roll up, make a back story for and get all excited about… which you never play. The idea for writing a verse novel started about […]
Life Advice for the Unwary
September 19, 2011
by Kandace Mavrick
I spent the weekend not working. I know, we’re all shocked. But it meant I got to spend some time reading. (Yes, that’s what I do when I’m not working. Okay, I also take naps. And there may have been a thing with a bonfire and my ears freezing. But that’s not the point.) Since […]
Icky Theory: Seriously, Piracy, Again?..
September 16, 2011
by Paul McLaughlan
Oh so much fun! … No really, I love this stuff! ~~~~~ While what I really wish to examine is the new balance of power between (hitherto) producers and consumers, firstly let us (again) visit the topic of piracy. There are a great number of studies on the topic, and I only want to briefly […]
