I was chatting with my Dad about going to France earlier, and a few more things occurred to me about the trip worth mentioning. One was how….mmm…linguistically courteous? so many things were. Leaving aside the labeling in English under most menus and all major signs, at the Gare Montparnasse train station in Paris, you got […]

So I got back from France last weekend, and have been remiss in making a full report. It was cool. Not sure what else to say. There were lots of neat buildings. I navigated a strange train system and saw a lot of new birds. My mom and I had a good time. Neither of […]
In the very, very VERY rare state of feeling the need to doodle without any particular thing I really need to doodle. (Of course, now I have to go draw Dragonbreath for awhile, so that’s the end of that.) In the meantime, have a doodle.
Honestly, my greatest accomplishment today was rousting out a completely uncontrollable perennial sunflower that was flopping everywhere and generally being a very poor neighbor in the garden. Then there’s this… Some day, I will figure out that cut paper look that I want to do somehow. Probably. Mind you, once you start doing nonsensical allegorical […]

I am in the throes of travel prep in a big way. I have alerted my bank that I am traveling, bought international data plans for a month, packed half a suitcase, bought too many new clothes at REI (all of which promise to keep me dry, cool, fashionable, and able to walk to at […]

Well, it’s Thursday. My con crud is still working its way through my system, primarily in the form of a cough that makes me sound like John Keats. Here Lies One Whose Name Was Writ In Phlegm… And since there is no rest for the whimsical,* it’s back to the word mines for me. Working […]
Official stuff not up yet, but you can hear the audio at least (and see a cel-phone video of me as Giant Faceless Gesticulating White Blur!) right here! You’ll have to turn it up a bit, since it was all being taken by a cel phone in the very back of the room, held by […]
