Our world is just so very eventful. I play catch-up on Christmas Day as Rowan sorts photographs and we sit in front of a hissing, if not roaring, fire. The day is grey and glistening, and the news of James Brown’s death is filtering through the news services. They’re trying hard to put a good…

It’s 9.42am – and it’s what I’m hoping is the tail-end of a long, long night. My mom’s been in the hospital this weekend for gall bladder surgery and what WAS supposed to be a routine in-and-out procedure has turned into something of a nightmare. I got a phone call at 3.20 in the morning…

The quote I was thinking of every time I passed the stone fireplaces on route 40 in PA was this: “And if this black pits of a kingdom is the best you can make, then it’s a poor world. And we four can make a dream world to lick your real one hollow.” – The…

I’m so very, very tired. I really ought to climb into bed with a book and read myself the very very short trip to sleep. Unfortunately, my book’s in the car and I just can’t bring myself to go get it… so I clearly can’t go to sleep. Shit. Last week in California was one…

One of our beautiful dancing dreadlock women from our show at Indiana University. I’m desperately trying to remember the name of her dreadlock. ADRIAN! That was it… you know, so she can yell AAADRIANNN!!! Crazy. I just watched Clerks 2, and I did so voluntarily. When the first one came out in 1994, I was…

Brooke of Tinsmith demonstrating the nose whistle at the West Side Cafe in Frederick, MD. We’re on I-70, high-tailing our way back from Frederick, MD – we just got off stage, playing a great show to the denizens of the West Side Cafe. Some pretty, pretty people. It was a good night, though a tiny…

I don’t really have much to say. I just figured I’d mention that I just make sci-fi jokes and leave it at that. It’s my way.
