Yesterday, I really hated WordPress. Last week the newest version of the blogging software I use — WordPress 2.8 — released. I didn’t download it immediately, as I was busy with work and work and more work, but I promised myself that, when I had the free time this week, I would download and installContinue reading “On WordPress Woes”
On the Things I Did This Weekend
I went to North Carolina this weekend to attend the wedding of two of my dearest friends. So what did my weekend look like? Somehow I got out of the house Saturday morning at 3:30 without waking my grandmother. I’d forgotten just how much I liked Bryan Adams’ seminal album, Reckless. Takes me back toContinue reading “On the Things I Did This Weekend”
On the Weekend’s Insights
On Saturday I drove to North Carolina for the wedding of two friends — Natalie and Beau. Natalie I’ve known not-quite-five years; I met her in June 2004, I think on the 22nd, and I first talked to her on the phone on the 18th or 19th. She had applied for a job at theContinue reading “On the Weekend’s Insights”
On My Authorial Tendencies
I saw this on some friends’ blogs earlier in the week, and being such a follower, I decided I would play. If I were a fantasy author, who would I be? Your result for Which fantasy writer are you?… Mary Gentle (b. 1956) 15 High-Brow, 3 Violent, 23 Experimental and 11 Cynical! Congratulations! You areContinue reading “On My Authorial Tendencies”
On the Next Couple of Days
I’m about to crash. First, I’m bloody tired. Second, I’m leaving before dawn for North Carolina. I need the sleep. Two friends of mine are getting married on the beach tomorrow. It’s going to be grand. 🙂 Then, on Sunday I’ll be in Raleigh, seeing my sister and my niece. And yes, I do haveContinue reading “On the Next Couple of Days”
On Communications Woes
My computer has been mostly dead all day, and a little headshake won’t make it happy. Four years ago, a lightning strike while I was at work fried the motherboard’s comm bus. The onboard modem was a total loss, and I’m pretty sure the network port was a goner, too. I installed a PCI modemContinue reading “On Communications Woes”
On This Morning’s Writing
While I’ve talked a bit about “THOD” the past few weeks, except for this snatch of dialogue, I’ve not really offered much insight at all into what I’m writing. Except that “THOD” is not actually the title, one of the main characters goes by Freddy, the story spans twenty-five years, that sort of thing. OverContinue reading “On This Morning’s Writing”
On Twisted Presents
I have a niece. She just turned six months. I am really thinking about getting her a Care Cthulhu. Yes, I know that’s not the proper name for it. But it looks like a Care Bear!
On the Mop
Saturday was a rough day with my grandmother. However, I’ve not told the story of Saturday night. As mentioned previously, I went to Big Lots Saturday night, for no particular reason except that I could. And there’s a liquor store in that shopping center, and since I had no beer in the refrigerator, I couldContinue reading “On the Mop”
On Anticipation
After several weeks of ambivalence, this weekend I really started looking forward to Shore Leave. You know what it was? It was taking a look at the website, reading my duff biography, and writing out a new one. And then seeing some of the other people who are going to be there. People that IContinue reading “On Anticipation”
