Art Present and Random News
I have a spiffy new header image up at the top of this page. It's a gift from my friend Mats Holmgren, who has a gallery here. Bless his heart, he lets me beg free art from him on a regular basis, and is going to be illustrating a couple ...

Friday is a Black Nothing Day
Okay, so I'm not exactly demonstrating the razor-sharp wit today. That could be because I had two hours sleep before going to my mother's for Thanksgiving dinner, and since then I have slept only one more hour. I made the mistake of eating mashed potatoes with lactose-icky milk in them ...

The Season is Busy in 3… 2… 1… NOW
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the U.S., which means cooking, travel, and the strong urge to take a nap. Our turkey dinner has shrunk over the last several years, so that now we'll snack on a small tray of raw veggies with dip, then for the meal we have turkey ...

I Have Spent an Eternity in the Wind
In my youth, I was always moved by music and absorbed it like a sponge. That doesn't happen automatically anymore, but sometimes something will catch my ear and I can tap into that part of me again, for a while. Barring that, there's always Winamp and my old favorites. I ...

Tarot Card of the Day
I drew this in a sadly pensive and lonely mood tonight. I thought I'd share it with you; perhaps we all need to hear it. Osho Zen Tarot: The Master (22) Beyond mind, there is an awareness that is intrinsic, that is not given to you by the outside, and is not ...

Updates - A Waste of Time?
I've been working my ass off on the blog, which is probably very naughty of me since I need to be working on moving Rending the Veil. However, I am justifying this indulgence with the rationale that I'm familiarizing myself with the CMS, of which this blog layout is a ...

I Am Seeking Your Opinions
I have several questions for those of you inclined to answer. There are a couple of different sections. Just answer what you want to, in comments. These questions are personal to me, not any sort of formal survey, but I really do want feedback. Thank you. Part one: Media Can you ...

Retrospective/Personal Philosophy Series, part 4
Well, I warned you in Part 3 that I was liable to ramble off course, and I did. I left all sorts of stuff out, including Jesi's entire time living here. lol. But we'll address that in this post, and if there's room, we'll continue into the gushing-gratitude portion of ...

Retrospective/Personal Philosophy Series, part 3
Part one of this series is here, and part two is here. It's been nearly a month since part 2 of this rambling series. So much has happened, but the main reason I haven't continued until now is that I've been suffering from insomnia and sleep issues, which render me ...

Unexpected Bliss
After my unexpected channel of Meridjet earlier this evening, I found myself in a late night chat with my friend Tim. He did some mediating between Meridjet and me at our other-house, since I've been having issues with clarity and a month-long bout of fatigue. No, this is not something ...

Crossing the Abyss, From Meridjet
Well, as I said a few days ago, I've begun posting on this new site, PeopleJam. I made one post on spirit companions, and had some very nice comments. Quite a few, in fact, for a first post. So tonight I made another. For some reason, I used the rich ...

Dragons Get Around
My daughter has me hooked on Dragon Cave and hovering over egg drops all day. I posted a table layout of all my dragons on my magick site, Living with Magick, and a bit ago I took a look at the Statcounter to see if any visitors had been clicking ...

The Essential Goodness of All People
Most of you are probably unaware of this fact, but someone very close to me has the AIDS virus. I found out about it 12 years ago, and he'd already been infected with HIV for at least a year by then. The struggle to stay silent and "in the closet" ...

Because I Feel It
I know I said no more politics, but Obama to me is more than a President(-elect). He's a force of inspiration and hope. So I made this – Banner by Sheta, photo by unknown. Now with thumbnail. CLICK FOR LARGER. Same icon as last post – because he is a call ...

An Interesting Development - PeopleJam
This is not a paid post – I want to make that clear. But it is an opportunity, for you and for me. A couple of days ago, I received an email that was not strictly spam – it referred to posts on this blog and spoke to me personally, ...

Meridjet is Dreamwalking Again
Night before last, Meridjet performed his first dreamwalk in nearly two years. My friend Caliedo dreamt that she was rushing around her house getting ready to go out, and was in a bedroom/living room sort of combo, adjacent to the kitchen. There were a few people in the kitchen, all ...

This is a non-commercial blog. I briefly considered commercializing it, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. While I do not make money blogging here, I do accept donations and I do list my services in the sidebar – not to solicit money from my readers, but to ...

I Try to Keep an Open Mind
...but sometimes I just get pissed off. The link leads to a Christian woman's blog who has a post on how "the ban on gay marriage slows the erosion of family." What. the. bleeding. fuck. I continue to be amazed at how anyone anywhere can believe that what another person ...

Since Last We Danced
I have been struggling with insomnia, a beast that self-perpetuates for those of us "blessed" with bipolar disorder. Lack of sleep induces mania, and though the mania may be too mild to be of much use, it does result in difficulty sleeping. So unlike most people, if I try to ...

Long Time No Blush
I was going to bed a few minutes ago when I decided to check my voicemail messages (3 were shown). I have my cell phone set to only let people in my phone book ring through, because I get a lot of annoying phone calls. Typically my voicemail has some ...

Insomnia Sux, and Other Complaints
I'm deeply and profoundly exhausted, snarling at my daughter and needing a vacation. I can't sleep, but I am so tired I could cry. I worked almost nonstop for several days (I lost count) getting the zine together, finally wrapping up the last bit of code in the last article ...
