My head is in the dark place again. I can’t quite figure out if it’s because I’m working on the second Path book or it’s why I’m working on the second Path book. Either way, I found myself in a dazed moment yesterday morning recasting a number of people I know as villains. I am […]

The Forgotten Dialect of the Heart by Jack Gilbert How astonishing it is that language can almost mean, and frightening that it does not quite.

Apart from the bit at the <redacted>. You know?) Extremely sensible summary. Here is an excerpt to get […]

Rick: What are you doing? Me: I’m insulting myself in text. Silence. Me: You’re just not going to touch that one, are you? Rick: You’re writing your blog for tomorrow? Me: …yes? Rick: It all makes sense. I have been in the middle of an explosion for like a week now. It’s making me edgy. […]

I was going to write something intelligent today. It was going to be interesting, maybe exciting and in no way related to questioning the morals of juice. But then I thought, what today really needs is invisible fight scene jokes.
