As ultimately pointless as it may be, I’ve always liked watching the Oscars with a well-formed opinion on who and what is the worthiest of awards. Back in the day, movie-going was one of our main hobbies/social endeavors, so chances are we saw most everything that was being nominated. It may have been a [...]

2010 is officially over now. I’ve been meaning to talk to you about it for months, but life got in the way. It’ll be a bit more concise now. Lucky you.
If the second half of 2010 had a theme, it was Challenge is the New Black. A couple of months ago something snapped and [...]

No, that’s not a typo or a phonetic respelling of how I pronounce nanowrimo. I’m mixing it up and doing something a bit different this year. Instead of writing a 50k word novel during the month of November, I’m celebrating National Novel Reading Month.

The cat’s out of the bag! Starting November 2nd, I’ll be a part-time employee back at infuz. Yes, that’s right. infuz.
What’s that you say? You have some concerns? I know. We all did. But don’t worry. It’s not going to be like last time.

I’ve learned a lot since waking up Saturday morning in excruciating abdominal pain.

Considering I didn’t even muster the weekly checkup posts past week 3, it should come as no surprise that I’ve failed, at least in the traditional sense, to give up “not writing” for Lent. When you get right down to it, I wrote probably half the days, maybe less, and the closer it got [...]

In the middle of the night Saturday night/Sunday morning there was a very loud boom outside. And then nothing. It was odd. Usually if there’s a crash of some sort, there are residual sounds. People yelling, debris falling, trucks backing up from whatever they crashed into, etc etc. I don’t want [...]

So…yeah. Last week was a doozy. I’m tired of making excuses and all, but man. it sucked. I thought I was going to have all these opportunities to write and get caught up, but as the week went by (and I fell and I recovered and I felt better and I took [...]

Well, crap.
It turns out that I’m much better suited to giving something up than adding something in. I can handle the “withdrawal” issues of giving up chocolate or internet, or soda (not caffeine mind you, with true withdrawal issues) much easier than forcing myself to spend 30 minutes each day writing. [...]

“It wasn’t my fault,” I’d say to St. Peter if he called me on how well I did this first week.
“I was in Vegas for the first few days. I tried, but there was so much–”
“Sin?” he’d ask with one eyebrow arched as he jotted a note down with his quill on [...]
