Less Frenzy, More Quiet Storm

Yep. That’s the plot machine. Friend to the idea-less. It links to Script Frenzy, a site where members try to complete a 100 page script every April. I’m semi-committed and after NaNoWrimo, not ashamed of my ambivalence. The months that followed after I committed to Wrimo were some of the darkest in my life. If… Read more »

And Here We Go Again

Having been thoroughly trounced by NaNoWriMo I still haven’t learned my lesson. I’m flirting with Script Frenzy this year. Yes, I know it’s already begun and the foreplay should be in the rear view mirror by now. But I’m taking a different, more casual path than I took with Wrimo. I have a couple of… Read more »

Dormant? What Do You Mean?

You, dear reader obviously have a lot to learn about blogging. Like knowing the difference between a dormant blog and one that’s resting comfortably. The difference between a blog stifled by it’s own self-important meteoric rise, and one taking the time to contemplate weightier matters in life, such as Naomi Elizabeth.

But the upside is that this may distract mainstream media long enough to allow Obama to get some work done. The truth is this photo merely shows how much… Read more »

Neko Case Has Lots of Nerve

Gorgeous red-haired, big voice Neko Case is offering a download from her upcoming album. This is welcome news to those lucky souls who have sat eyes closed and let the retro reverb of her country tinged voice wash over them. If that doesn’t make you warm and fuzzy enough inside, every blog that posts a… Read more »

It’s Still Christmas

As the spate of political correctness surrounding Christmas has grown these past years, I have to shake my head in wonder. There are certainly more just battles to engage in than demonizing people who greet you with “Merry Christmas”. When fundamentalists complain that Christ is being removed from the holiday, they are absolutely correct. That… Read more »

L’attrait Des Femmes Français

Some obsessions should just be enjoyed and not deconstructed. The thrilling singe of hot peppers, the shock of cool, crisp linen, and the allure of French women for example. A closer examination would find the women of France lacking… in bras, makeup, and occasionally razors: all overrated entrapments of the bourgeoisie. Some days you won’t… Read more »
