This is What Language Tastes Like

December 28, 2011 by

There’s a school of thought that suggests that the reason creative types are so known for being mad, drunk or junkies is because in some metaphysical way the crazy, the alcohol and the drugs are being translated into brilliance. People being what they are, it’s not terribly surprising that someone wondered if you could make […]

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Robot Needs

December 23, 2011 by

I think ‘eat robot food’ may be a simplification. Perhaps ‘oil’ and ‘charge batteries’ might be better. Then again, perhaps there’s super important robot kibble that I don’t know about.  

I Have Been Kind of Running on Crazy Lately

So… Me: I have decided I am on holidays. It came to me midmorning and I thought it good. Jared: Woo, holidays! Me: This means I am now procrastinating christmas things instead of work. Progress, yes? Jared: Now you can sit around on your couch all day browsing tumblrs 😛 Me: How did you KNOW? […]

The Contradiction of the Writer’s Brain

December 20, 2011 by

I have another proposal to write. So I’m trying to convince my brain that I’m brilliant while it mutters to itself in the corner about inappropriate commas and word duplication. See, I have these two completely contradictory desires — for everyone to read my work and to not let anyone see it. Which I think […]

And Then Sometimes a Plane Falls Out of the Sky

I just wrote a synopsis that gives away so much of the plot I feel like I spoilered myself. I am, apparently, never getting this right. At least it doesn’t sound idiotic. And actually includes, you know, information about the plot. As long as you read ‘information’ as ‘very little to do with the actual […]

I Make an Excellent Deity

Danni: Christening was anti-climactic. Me: Was there crying? Sometimes there’s crying. Danni: Really? There was no crying. To be honest, I’m not sure that priesty dude knows what he’s doing. Me: Perhaps that’s where the lack of excitement comes in. Also, there usually aren’t rocket launchers. Which, you know, would liven things up. Danni: I […]

This is a Blatant Lie*

Arkem: I feel like I’m getting tireder just sitting here with you. It’s like you’re projecting your exhaustion. Me: No. It’s the other way around. I’m leeching your consciousness. Eventually it’ll all be gone and then you’ll fall asleep and so will I. Unless Paul comes in here… I may or may not have spent […]

How Not to Pacify the Savage Beast

Yesterday I didn’t get to sleep until after Rick’s alarm went off at 5am. By nine I was awake again. Which makes for a grand total of 14 hours in the last three days. I just thought that I should tell you that. In case I start screaming incoherently or something. And while I’ve been […]

I Demand Retribution. Or Justice. Or Something. Will Settle For Having 2011 Back.

Rick: It was me. I did it while you were sleeping. Me: Oh come on, what are the odds of that happening? Rick: Not good? Okay, I knocked you out. Me: You actually think you could get away with that? Rick: I’m a ninja. Me: And you think I wouldn’t notice the concussion when I […]

Happy Whatever Shut Up Now

Generally I like this time of year. Everyone stops working at the same time. Except for those that don’t. And Paul S., who actually volunteers to work over the holidays. Okay, so ‘everyone’ might be an exaggeration, given I can’t even say ‘everyone in my house’… Well, I like the songs that you only hear […]
