Strange Days
Why is it that the happiest scenes are always the hardest for me to write? Maybe because, in my books, happy scenes always mean the worst is about to happen.
Back to School
I’m officially signed up for my first Economics class and my first Marketing class, paid for part and parcel by the company. How could I not take advantage of that? I’m so thrilled to be in school again, I can’t even tell you. The plan right now is to just go ahead and get the
Things I Find More Than a Little Embarrassing
Standing in line at Chipotle tonight, the one right around the U of Dayton, minding my own business…. … and then! Some jocky 20-something college kid gets in line behind me. I did not notice him at all when he walked up. Oh no, I did not notice him until I smelled him. I recognized

Perspective
One of my coworkers announced today that he and he wife officially paid off their house yesterday. They’ve been scrimping and saving ever since they bought it to get rid of the payment. He’s 26 years old. He’s now doing research into investments. DIE PUNY HUMAN!!!! Um… next month, I’ll pay off a credit card?
Ridiculous Amounts of Writing
20 pages today, to catch up. I accomplished this by skipping some filler scenes and going straight for the good ones. Sadly, it means tomorrow I get to write a bunch of filler scenes. Still about 2500 behind the schedule, but that ain’t no thing. I’ll have a draft of Black Desert by the end

Really, it wasn’t all that bad. The kitchen was smallish, the closet space was minimal, and the bathroom was the size of an NYC bathroom (ya’ll from there know what I’m talking about), which gives me panic attacks. But it was right down the street, reasonably clean, and the rooms were, well, adequate. But that’s

Another One of Life’s Little Ironies
Since it looks like I’ll have my own place May or June 1, I started shopping online for my old French perfume. Afterall, living on my own means that I can, once again, use scented products without slaughtering one of my roommates! Huzzah. Arielle, my longtime favorite perfume since highschool made by Fragonard, the wonderful

Equilibrium
How come I’d never heard of this movie? It’s worth it for the gun kata alone! Wheeee! It’s like Gattaca meets the Matrix, with Christian Bale! I mean really, how could you go wrong? Or Maybe Harrison Bergeron meets the Matrix meets Gattaca meets Christian Bale. Anyway, it plays with old themes, but they’re old
