I was at Slim’s Friday night, at an upstairs table with VonChorsen and donpedro, when someone at the neighboring table tapped me on the shoulder and said “Excuse me, excuse me…” I turned around and faced her. She was sitting in a cirlce of about 8 people.
Chick1: Greetings fellow earthling!
Me: Uh, hi there! How are […]
So I’m single right now, as you’ll know if you’re close by. I lament this condition on a regular basis, but I had to admit something just the other day. I’m doing great. I always seem to buoy when I’m by myself. My goals come into focus, my mood soars into the sublime, I write […]

One of my favorite movies is “Swept Away.” It’s the story of a man and woman stranded on an island. Initially they hate each other, but over time, they fall in love. During their most […]
This week I’ve undertaken to do some one thing, every day, that will change the course of my life for the better, near or long-term. So far:
Monday: Attended the Berkeley Free Clinic’s volunteer orientation and got a wealth of information about an awesome community fixture. There are many ways I might get involved, from becoming […]
Proof!Finally, substantive proof that cats are smarter than dogs!

Enjoy! (via MeFi)
Our furnace hasn’t been working so last night was butt-cold in the house. Then it rained like hell all morning. But then the sun came out, quite unexpectedly. When I walked out onto the back steps and looked across the street at that huge building adjacent to us, its whole roof was spewing smoke, on […]
I’ve undertaken to begin posting some actual fiction here in lieu of the random rants and inquests. It’s been some time since I’ve stood up to the standards of any kind of audience, and I think it will be good exercise for me. Unfortunately, I am suffering from a kind of block. I have several […]
I’m sure I’ll post this link again in a half-a-year, but here is a link to Sept. 11th on ManiaHill, just for shits and no giggles. Just scroll upward to see the forward progression of time. I don’t wish to relegate this to memory by postng an “anniversary” link etc… This was all just yesterday. […]
I’m walking with my father through the puddles and alleyways of Damascus. He’s carrying a book and has a scrap of cloth or string of beads hanging from around his neck. It’s a lengthy procession that winds through empty lots, city squares, the marketplace… I’m breathing heavily and straining, rolling a large disc of glass […]
No headache, no nausea. Just a nice warm feeling all of Sunday. Thanks for coming, everybody, it was great having you. It was wonderful to have Como meet Don Pedro, my brother meet Juniper’s brother, Mr. Kurtz meet my Mom, etc. Katootie and Lisan had a chance to catch up. Kim and Wolfgang sparred. I […]
