Heading Home
Sorry it’s been so quiet around here–the Internet where I’m at is only available in drips and drabs… and coffee shops, mostly. Normal service (whatever that is) will return on Monday. I will be...

Thematic-ack-ack-ack
Visitors to this site (ha-ha–who am I kidding?) have no doubt already noticed that I’ve changed the theme again. I went with something very minimal this time. This is me giving up on WordPress themes....

Breaking Concentration
I’ve been finding it terribly difficult to concentrate on writing longer posts, recently. It’s not that I’ve stopped generating ideas for them, but rather that I’m having a hard time sitting down and...

Your Tongue Trips
Let’s talk about affirmations: those positive statements that one repeats to oneself which are thought, by some, to have a beneficial effect on one’s life. That’s right — the Stuart Smalley thing. I do...

Sweating Quietly
My apologies for the rather diminished production of content around here recently (remember when bloggers used to say things like that? Ah, good times.) I’ve been feeling a little out of sorts lately....

Motivational yelling
Another November has arrived, and with it another Nanowrimo begins. I myself have occasionally thrown my hat into the ring, with rather mixed results; I’ve only hit the minimum word count goal once. It...

Visual quirk
So, I’m trying a new theme, today. I liked the last one, but when I was putting up the last Person In Training post, I found that I really missed having a sidebar — it does make navigation easier....

Missing length
Hmm, I missed my self-imposed deadline for posting a long piece of writing. This is largely because the past week (and subsequent weekend) has been a lot busier than I had been anticipating, and also,...

Unlikely
From here on out (as of the previous post, in fact) new entries to this blog will no longer display “likes.” (I have also removed the “follow this blog” section from the sidebar.) Let me explain. I...

Top 5 Posts in 2012
Here are the five most viewed posts from this blog, with commentary: 1. Pile on Prometheus This may be the dumbest post I ever posted; but it had the word “Prometheus” in it during the time that the...

Three Years
Hey, it turns out this blog had its third birthday last Friday. I completely forgot — I should have written something deep and meaningful, but I was busy. I can’t exactly remember what I was doing last...

What Was I Saying?
As I’ve been known to do periodically, I’ve gone and deleted all of my unfinished blog-post drafts. It feels good… like a deep, cleansing breath. It wasn’t a slash and burn, everything must go, sort of...

Sorry To Keep Going On About It…
Yesterday’s rant was intended to get all of my frustration at WordPress.com’s themes out of my system. I had not planned on saying anything further on the subject for a little while. But alas, here we...

The World’s Too Big
I’ve been having trouble writing things the past couple of weeks. A lot of this might have to do with the fact that I’ve been feeling kind of shitty as a result of a massive cold, and the inevitable...

Plans for September 1st
On September 1st (this upcoming Sunday) my new blog will be going live. It’s not going to replace this one or anything, it’s just second blog, and it will be entirely devoted to writing about video...

Ramble On: Lack of Productivity
There’s a pile up in my WordPress drafts folder again, the effect of which is that Odd Lots is looking a little unloved, these days. The two most recent unpublishable efforts are a new Doubter’s Diary...

Happy Thanksgi–Oh…
One of the least cherished, yet most regularly observed traditions around here is the one where I end up being sick on Thanksgiving. And hoo-boy, was it a doozy, this time around. I’m still recovering,...

You’d Think I’d Learn
I’ve been blogging for about a decade or so, but I’ve somehow managed to forget some important things about it. Like, for example, don’t try to write a reasonable-sounding post when you’re upset about...

A little housekeeping
This is probably an unnecessary post (aren’t they all?), but I try to be upfront about any site changes I do, so here we are. It’s no big deal, really: I just removed the Smoking and Doubter’s Diary...

Lost Weekend
I did not have a lot of items on my to-do list last weekend, but damn; I got practically nothing done. I meant to buy some shoes, but what the hell is going on with shoes, these days? Why do they look...
