I have this ‘extension’ for Firefox called StumbleUpon. It gives me random websites that other people have found enjoyable. I guess it’s considered a social thing, I dunno. I don’t frequent the pages of other Stumblers; I just hit the Stumble! button on my browser window, and roam about the webverse. The first site I [...]
And some SERIOUS drooling here! Good gods almighty! I’d never go back to a computer again if I could have THIS baby! Might take a bit for the video to download, but if you’re a hard core computer geek, it’s worth the wait! Then there’s the World… Looks mighty cool. If I was a multibillionaire [...]
Wow… A whole dog race I didn’t even know existed! (Speaking of which, Iditarod begins in thirty-seven days!) Here’s a Damn Interesting article called The Association of the Dead by Gerry Matlack. Seems in some countries the proper bribery of officials can get you pronounced dead, whereupon your relatives inherit your wordly goods. It [...]
Here I sit at Coffee People, corner of SW Salmon and Park in Portland, Oregon. It closes its doors on the twenty-ninth, so this is probably my last medium Velvet Hammer with whip to be had in the downtown area. Ah, the bitter sweet memories (and I’m not talking the mocha…) My best friend at [...]

Do you know what happens when you don’t use your library card for over three years? Answer: Nothing. Man, was I surprised to discover I didn’t have to get a new card! It’s been forever since I’ve visited the library. But, it seems I’m swimming in cash in December, and scraping the rent together for [...]
Love a word count of 2301, don’t you? Two new scenes completed, and chapter eighteen is in the bag. Wanna know the best part? That’s the LAST of the new scenes! WOOT! I should have the rest of the editing done by the end of the week. (And that’s WITH the two days of day [...]
Spent yesterday goofing off and reading. Went to bed early and missed the New Year’s arrival. Ah, well. After a half hour of reacquainting myself with On Azrael’s Wings, I’ve already dumped plans for one scene, deciding to go with a different one instead. Time to get to work. I want to finish chapter eighteen [...]
