Last week sucked. I’ll write more about it in the future, but it was tiresome, annoying and for most of the week I wasn’t getting home before 1 am, and Wednesday I wasn’t home until 3 am. So yesterday, I did nothing but read and watch movies with J. It was probably the first day …
I’ve just posted a new play over on the Stage Plays Page. I’m going to be writing a series of 10 minute plays, primarily because there are way too many 10 minute play festivals and contests and most short plays suck. Specifically, there is a tendency on the part of those producing short plays to …
The first time I heard Diamanda Galas was in a car, driving through the fog at 2 am, listening to her Plague Mass being played on WRIU. Freaked me the fuck out – wasn’t sure if I was hearing a human or a demon or an angel. I’ve seen her live twice and both times …

Recently, I came across Escape Pod & it’s sister site PseudoPod and have been, for the most part, really impressed and delighted with all the stories I’ve listened to. I feel like I’m reconnecting to the joys of short fiction, the fun of coming across new and different ideas, and of being surrounded by stories. They …
