Sure, I could come with some brilliant bit of personal insight and adventure to tantalize you with today, but, really, why keep the expectations so high? Or…I might be bluffing and simply have decided that I’m in a bit of an introspective mood this morning. If that’s the case–and I’m not saying it is–then it […]
Spacehunters: The Story It Almost Was and Thank God Isn’t
I never liked it when a story ended and there wasn’t a sequel. As a child, I wanted more. As a young adult who’s just barely old enough to know more than some of the dipshits running around today, I still want more. Well, less of the dipshits and more of the stories. I once […]
The Subconscious Pookalicious Wookie Buns & the Tale of the Asian Muse
I used to be told I was borderline crabby some of the time. People said that, but they didn’t really mean it. Nope. What they were really saying is I was downright crabby most of the time, only they were being nice because of that whole aforementioned crabby thing. You don’t poke a dog with […]
Does Writing Make You Horny, Baby?…Yeah!
Coming down sick has an interesting side-effect on me. Or, rather, it’s the medication that has a side-effect. Nyquil makes me…well, hormonal. So does Dayquil. And now that I think about it, so does Tylenol Cold and Flu, Thera-Flu, Wal-Greens Cold and Flu and just about any other general cold medication. The only other time […]
Andy Stevenson Vs. Kage Alan & the Lord of the Loins
Did you know there were actually people with the name Andy Stevenson? I didn’t, not until the last year when my Google Alerts were actually producing a number of results, especially in social media, by guys with that name who weren’t related to my book. I imagine it must be a little strange for them […]
Blame It On The Lights Down Low…
Monday is a day to fear. Why? It’s daunting. The weekend is far away. The boss has no issue with delegating crap to you because you’ve got 40+ hours to “make it happen.” Your boss, not mine. I like my boss. He brings me my favorite kind of donut when he stops by Tim Hortons […]
Cheers, Fears and the New Sedaris-Fearing-Gay-Writing Mafia
Blog, they said, and people will read you. Blog frequently, they said, or people will not read you…and instead read someone who actually does blog frequently because those are the rules we just made up since they sound wise and sage-like. Kinda makes you want to wear an old pair of shoes and put your […]
Since You And I Haven’t Had Sex (Dealing With Negative Energy)
I was going through my CDs the other day looking to make a compilation of some 80s songs that brought back very specific memories. While making my way through the “B”s (Baltimora…Berlin…Big Pig…Blondie…), Bon Jovi caught my eye. It was an album I hadn’t listened to in a long while, so I popped it in […]
Reflections of a Gweilo on New Release DVD Tuesday
Two things come to mind right off the bat. First, the friend’s mother who I worked my butt off revising the next book for passed away last night. It was long coming and somewhat painful for her during these past few months, but I hope that when the end came, it was peaceful. My partner’s […]
Premature Articulation (Or “How My Weekend Went”)
It still feels a little premature and I’m most likely getting my hopes up, but the publisher of my first book was bought by some people claiming to have a better grasp of the business. They’re reviewing “A Funny Thing…” for possible re-publication (with a new cover!) as well as the sequel for its first […]
