This--now yesterday's, I guess--morning, I woke up on the couch without quite understanding how I'd gotten there. I had a distinct memory, in fact, of going to bed relatively early, and being asleep b...
Just Gone Hump-Day 21 Aug 2013 | 09:38 am
Day Four of Steve's "staycation." We've managed to do some of the small things we wanted to, but almost none of the big things. It doesn't help that Cal is still sick, with a juicy cough and a rash al...
How I Am 13 Aug 2013 | 08:55 pm
Perhaps you wonder what's been going on with me. At the moment, I seem to have some sort of cold, which sucks raucous ass; my throat is grindy and scrape-y and I'm coughing all the time, I wake contor...

It Is Machines!: Kneale's The Road and Morris's First Person 30 Jul 2013 | 11:42 pm
Good news: managed to start working on "Scarlet Town" again. Got some really good ideas about what's missing, like A) magic (not that there's none, but there should be more, some of it done by Chess, ...
You Flatter A Poor Woman 25 Jul 2013 | 09:07 pm
