I had my first typewriter at five years old. I have been writing ever since. All the words on this blog are true, in one way or another. All of the art is as well. Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy your stay.

“I am not made for this,” Rivi says to me. “It’s winter,” I say. “Complaining about it won’t do any good.” “This isn’t winter,” she says. “It’s the return of the Ice Age.” I can’t argue with her about the cold. The thermometer in my car...
Well, Happy New Year and stuff. Hope none of you stayed up too late last night, doing that celebratory thing that results in hangovers and regrets the next morning. You know who are you if you did. No judgment from me, promise. It’s...
There is an ache in my fingertips that does not go away. It’s a light sting, right at the pads, and I know it’s from the cold air outside. I go out in the mornings to care for the chickens, and I find my insulated winter gloves get in...

I’m not one who ever makes New Year’s resolutions. Picking a date and announcing all the Great Things I Shall Endeavor to Accomplish in the New Year has historically been a recipe for failure, and so I’ve learned over time to just shut...
I think that I’m running low on juice these days. Actually, I am certain of it. While I am enjoying my job (hello, United States Postal Service!), it didn’t really occur to me at the time I accepted the position I am in that I would be...
It's been a long few weeks here in the woods, and the main reason is because my body has decided to try and murder me. Well, perhaps murder is too strong a word. Incapacitate is a little closer. The short version is that it is suspected...
I was reminded today from a post by twelvety that we did in fact, back in the days of photo printing from film, use a little bit of nose grease on our negatives to take out scratches before we printed the images in an enlarger. Just rub...
Here’s a weird thing that kind of gave me pause: a few months ago, I got a notification from LiveJournal congratulating me on having an account there for twenty-one years now. To be fair, I haven’t used that account in at least nineteen...
I’ve been feeling a little disconnected in a weird way from music lately, which is kind of odd, considering that I am almost always playing something during the day. I’m a huge music fan, always have been, and I think that in this world...
It's in the 90s here in Stephen King Country, and sticky outside, so honestly until I must leave the house, I'm staying inside and doing art things today. Here's a little something I put together today, to keep myself pleased. As always,...
Been working on some new art over here recently, so here's a little portrait just because. Thanks for looking, my peeps. Send me an email Latest 3 posts 15 Oct, 2025 Nose Grease Love 15 Oct, 2025 Hey! It’s Me Again! 05 Aug, 2025 Radio,...
I toss. I turn. I make myself a burrito in my blanket. I stick a leg out and let it dangle off the mattress. I say fuck it and grab my phone and start writing this post. I am not a great sleeper, at least not at night, not when I’m...
I keep having this weird little fantasy of putting together a good old-fashioned zine kind of thing. You know: printed on paper, an actual, tangible item that you can hold in your hands, with pages that you can flip through and dog ear,...
I'm not sure when it happened precisely, but I seem to have fallen off the writing wagon. Oops. It's not the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last, I know. I've been writing for a very, very long time. Honestly, it's...
