  • Trauma

    I am unclean. The dirt will not wash out. Earlier, while working on my story, there was a hair sticking out from one of my keys on my keyboard. I looked down and was suddenly and completely disgusted by the filth beneath the keys. So I started to clean my keyboard. I probably would have…

  • Meme Day

    Thanks, Filby, for this lovely meme. Go to Google image search and type in your name or handle or whatever. Fun stuff. This is not me, by the way. Click it, though, and visit my evil twin. He needs a goatee, damn it. Here, for those curious, is a recent photograph of myself. While my…
