Windows to the Soul

October 27, 2011

Here’s submission #3 for #nycmidnight Flash Fiction Challenge 2011.  Prompts were open (genre), a physical rehabilitation center (place) and a poisonous [sic: venomous] snake (object).  I kind of shit the bed on this one, I think.  Not too worried about it, though.  I was pretty happy that I made the cut to get to the second [...]

Thinning Out

September 27, 2011

Here’s submission #2 for #nycmidnight Flash Fiction Challenge 2011.  Prompts were ghost story (genre), steakhouse (place) and a taser gun (object).  I’m kind of ok with how it turned out, though I put it together in about an hour (just before the deadline, as usual), so there are a few places where a word or [...]

$8 Blowjobs on 14th Street

June 23, 2011

‘Tis a sad day indeed, dear reader, when I’m scraping one of Josh Allen’s websites for blog fodder.  Wait . . . no; not really:  would that I could pull it together enough (maybe read something about internet copyright law and whatnot) to set up a separate Josh Allen tribute site, but I’m not exactly [...]

Sans Motivation

June 20, 2011

Hoo boy.  It’s been 84 days since my last post.  That’s exactly 12 weeks.  Whoops.  Sorry ’bout that, dear reader. Ok, you’re over it. Quixotic Jedi mind trick. Seriously. I’m at work right now and relatively bored.  Well, not bored exactly, just kind of doing that same old deer-in-the-headlights thing with the stuff I need [...]

Another Bullshit Update

March 28, 2011

Where the frig did the winter go?  I spent a good portion of the last 3-season pining for the time when I could break my snowshoes back out, and that time’s nearly over.  Not that I can complain:  I probably snowshoed close to 200 miles this winter and bagged about 40 peaks along the way. [...]

EWR to TPE via NRT 3/1-2/2011

March 2, 2011

Ok, so here I am on a plane again, bound for Taiwan.  It’s 5:30PM ET; the plane left at 11:10AM – we’re just about halfway to Tokyo Narita.  I should probably be (or have been) studying up on my presentation materials, but instead I’ve been watching movies.  The time has passed relatively quickly.  So far, [...]

Stress: Dismissed

February 16, 2011

So here’s what I’ve been thinking, dear reader: All I really have to do is the best I can.  That’s it.  I don’t have to get everything done:  I just need to do what I can.  I don’t have to do everything perfectly:  I just need to do do as best I can.  None of [...]

Can A Honky Get Some Cheese

February 9, 2011

…with his whine? I’m sitting in class right now.  The lecture is NJ Civil Procedure.  I couldn’t find any material in my bar review outline book, so I figured they’d be distributing something at the class.  They didn’t.  Turns out there is an outline in my book, but I just missed it.  The pages of [...]

…and in other news

February 4, 2011

When I grow up and have nothing better to do than write weirdo stuff for my adoring public, I’m going to do it while listening to Led Zeppelin.  The writing, I mean:  not the growing up.  I’m currently reading The Sherriff of Yrnameer by Michael Rubens.  It’s funny as hell.  Light sci-fi; Vonnegut-ish with some [...]
