What can you say about a movie where you're harassed by hippies when you leave the theatre? What I learned from "The Day After Tomorrow":If you're in the New York Public library and you need to keep warm, you burn invalu…
Packing, mostly. Had people come to haul off the couch. They had to disassemble it to do so. Also, Boris' favorite scratching post, aka Beth's chair, had to go. I finally got an outline off to a publisher, too. I'm hopin…

It occurs to me, in reading back, that portions of this blog might only make complete sense if the reader was someone in my immediate circle of friends who got mea…
Gods, where to begin?
Last night, I came home to find the mover's estimates. The $3900 figure was a bit higher than I thought, but tolerable. Then Beth called to ask about the numbers, and I read them off, then looked…
My life is either falling apart or coming together. As soon as I figure out which, I'll let you know.
Weekend spent writing, and visiting with friends, possibly for the last time. Depending on how things go, we might be gone in less than four weeks, though "gone where" is still somewhat unsettled. Life consists of long s…
A bit of humour(?), a bit of puzzlement...
The humour, perhaps, is the result of yet another Sorting Hat page:
Slytherin!
Have you sold out your brother or married your cousin yet? It's one or the other for Slythe…
A bit of humour from one of my favorite sites.

In Which Lizard Ventures Unto The Deep Woods
So.
This tale begins about a year ago, when Beth decided that what she wanted for her birthday was not plant gonads or lumps of carbon, but to spend a day with me. Our…
Today's thought: It is our small madnesses that keep us largely sane. (Lizard)
Headachey. And slightly out of sorts. Looking forward to a long weekend "off". Offline. Away from things. With the wife. And, unfortunately, with more writing than I'd planned on. I could have been done with this project…
Still in a blogging mood.Everything wrong with America in two words:"Marshal Law"This is, according to the execrable NBC mini-series 10.5[1], what the President declared in response to the earthquake which was the focus …
Sorry, in a blogging mood.
Things I learned from "10.5", Part I:
1)When a major earthquake hits, you're much safer doing stunts on a bicycle than running along on the ground.
2)Earthquakes follow train tracks, openi…
Pursuant to a conversation on another list, I had a very scary thought -- what if all of civilization is a giant ponzi scheme? We were discussing how much it costs to raise a child to the point where they become a prod…
Continuing the irregular random screams into the ether. Uhm. Had a slight epiphany about a game product I'm working on, which is going to require more writing than I'd planned but will make it a lot better. Still keeping…
I know I'm not blogging much, and, it's odd, because, of course, for once I have something to say. It's partially because my mind is still coming to grips with things, I suppose. The thing that I keep coming back to is, …
