This. So I’m going to go back to reading about serial killers now. I would tell you why but… well, it’d take a while.

Consciousness was a little hard to come by this morning. I was dreaming about Captain Haddock. Which is a weird thing to be dreaming about. And Japanese foot-washing rituals. And something above private school girl ties. All of which actually makes less sense now I’m awake, which is fairly impressive. So in something of a […]

Me: That’s terrible. Paul S: But applicable! Me: It’s a terrible, awful joke. (Pause.) That was strangely applicable to the conversation.* Weirdly enough, this conversation had nothing at all to do with my rant about dwarves yesterday and rather more to do with the fact that I received a package that said, Instant Rockstars! on […]

I just wrote yet another synopsis for Path. It’s like I’m physically incapable of sending out another round of queries without rewriting the whole thing from the ground up. They’re also getting progressively darker. I feel quite strongly there should be more jokes in there. Possibly more beer. But it’s hard to sneak those things […]

Over the holidays I spent possible an unreasonable amount of time reading something in the internet. Okay, many things. The internet is fun to play with when you can’t sleep and you can’t go for a run. But one thing in particular. A story that someone wrote last year, posting chapter by chapter as she […]

Whenever I post something on WordPress lately it tosses a quote at me along with a remark about how it thinks I’m doing, how long the post was and some pointed comments about how it would really like to be linked to every social networking site ever. I assume it does this to everyone, that […]

It is like the ninth day of the year and I am already behind. This is ridiculous. (Certain people have said that in fact I am ridiculous and that ‘behind’ is a word I have created to define my own ludicrous theories about where I should be. It’s not that I disagree per se. I […]
