The Shattered Prayer

It has been a busy month. I didn’t even have time to get to my third Supergirl installment — the one in which I talk about the anorexic midriff baring Supergirl of today. I’ll get to Superhungry — I promise. But in the mean time, I thought I would take a trip […]

For all we know, in your past life you were a virgin who was thrown into a volcano to appease a fire deity. But whether or not that’s an actual fact, we can say this with certainty: At some time in your current life, you made a great sacrifice in an effort to pacify a […]

There’s a weird dialogue going on in my head. Me vs Me. Me vs this fucking toothache. And did I misspell fucking? Because my spell-checker has flagged it.

If you think for one moment the dialogue in my head is a pep-talk, you’d be wrong. Its more like a pity-party, which is why I won’t […]

The DEA had visited that day. Rock showed the agents around all hundred acres of the farm. There wasn’t a marijuana plant in site. But there were cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, beans and peas, all organically grown. Rock sent the agents home with a basket full of fresh vegetables.

That night, I sat eating ox-tails off of […]

When is it ever?

 But I do think I’m a little closer to knowing what I’ll be writing for Nanowrimo07. It looks like I’ll be working on a dual project, a fictional book with a non-fiction companion. The work of fiction is for Nano. The non-fictional work will be mostly in note form until Nanowrimo […]

I don’t think it has EVER taken me longer to read a book in my life, but I’m finally finished with that damned book about the Pilgrims. Long and the short of it? Pilgrims were religious fanatics who needed Native Americans to survive in the “New World” only to betray and annihilate […]

Last August, a woman in Pennsylvania experienced a miracle when she cut open an eggplant. The seeds were arrayed in the shape of the word “God.” Felicia Teske regarded it as a divine sign that had been sent to comfort her for some difficulties she had recently experienced. She felt deep gratitude for the gift. […]

Mojo makes fun of the place I work because we get Puerto Rican Pride Day off. He says they just invented the holiday so we could get lots of days off in November. I say everyone should be proud of the Puerto Ricans and take the Day off to celebrate that pride, whether […]

Its time once more for Rob, and I’ll be mixing them up again this week, just for the hell of it. Lets start with Bas this week:

“The future is already here,” says science fiction writer William Gibson. “It’s just not very evenly distributed.” Your job in the coming weeks, Libra, is to locate hotbeds where […]

When I talk to a man, I can always tell what he’s thinking by where he’s looking.
See, if he’s looking at my eyes, he’s looking for intelligence.
If he’s looking at my mouth, well he’s looking for wit and wisdom.
And if he’s looking anywhere else except my chest, he’s looking for another man.

Well, Supergirl was dead (along with all all these people — that Crisis was rough). But, as I said in the last post, it was hard to keep a good woman down, so it was only a matter of time before Supergirl was resurrected. Even if it was as a blob of strawberry […]

The Devil beat Johnny when they had that fiddling contest down in Georgia.

With Nanowrimo coming up, I’ve been thinking a lot about writing. Thinking about it. Not actually doing it.

I’ve decided to start naming my characters after senders of spam email. I mean, the spam that fills up my email at a rate of 250 mails per day really needs to be put to some use. […]

I think this has been the title of a post in the past, too. But on an entirely different subject.

 
See, I wrote a post today. A really good post, and thought I’d saved it as a draft, but no… some error with my blog editor erased it. I know I know… lame excuse. My […]
