I wrote this a few months ago, and recent actions by our amateur President, who is growing more senile and dictatorial by the day have led me to finally break down and post it. <rant> There is a reason why I don’t read blogs heavily. I read one recommended, and supposedly related to one of… Read More A matter of taste?
So, let me get this right. The Amateur is considering declaring victory over the Coronavirus and ending the emergency. That’s great! We can throw out our masks, and start playing sports again, kiss, hug, see our aging parents … that is such great news! Wrong. The area where I live has been remarkably untouched by… Read More Too much time on my hands
Foolsbottom splorker this fine day, hot outside cold in. Holding onto a warm beverage for leverage against insanity. Parlez vous auf Deutsch sprechen a l’Italiano megiggleschpoot. Out damn spot! I’ve lost the plot and in a spot of bother, rather. I’m still waiting for the thunderstorm that never came. Pianissimo in a fresh breeze, dry… Read More Bumbersplinkins
I’m back onto ‘Round Midnight, and I’m up to 103,300 words. Why am I obsessing about the word count? Ignoring the fact that I’m a little OCD to begin with, I have for years wandered the writing forums online and even one real literary conference with real people, where I met an agent who really… Read More Twenties, schmenties
So what is it about my YouTube profile that brings up ads for Single Russian Girls? Maybe listening to Hiromi Uehara playing jazz in 7/8 is a turn on for all those men who are desperate to see Russian babes. Why Russian? What do they have that we Americans lack? What is it that they… Read More Single Russian Girls
That wasn’t always the case. In fact, I am wearing a fluffy blue bathrobe and underwear. A few years ago, when I was stuck in my basement office, I occasionally wore less while I blogged. Now, I’m 4 feet away from a window which is looked down on by a passing roadway. If I want… Read More In case you are wondering, I’m wearing pants
My city made the national news last night for a reason that just leaves me flummoxed. There is a church on the far right … err, far east side of town that refuses to lock down. They have a huge congregation that is still meeting. They claim they are observing social distancing, but on camera… Read More Embarrassing
Backend is unhealthy. Huh? I’ve been receiving some weird responses when clicking on links the past couple of days. Perhaps the Internet has caught the Coronavirus, or maybe it’s just too busy to care. Either way, I think it should clean up its act. Hygiene is everything in these uncertain times. Speaking of which, I… Read More Unhealthy
<rant> A dick-and-a-half reviewed Alice in my dreams on the WritersCafe.org a couple of days ago. I’ve been watching him get trolled by someone who (like me) saw through his ego. All you do is tell, tell, tell, all the way through. Which is true, I admit, but that was my intention. A 26-year-old is… Read More I don’t know what I’m doing
I hate grading papers. It shows just how much of a fraud I am. I root for them to do well, but I find every error, everything that doesn’t look right to me, and I have to find a way to quantify it. It’s the content that is important. Right? That, of course, is said… Read More Seduce me
