Ahem. Right. Rapier wit, indeed.
I haven’t been idle, however! This has just been crunch time at school, and [...]

I’ve had a number of people ask me a question I should be quite capable of answering, yet for some reason I’ve yet to come up with a suitable response. Why, they ask, haven’t you finished writing a book? It’s a fair question. Contrary to what you might read here, I’m a fair hand with [...]

Generation X provided us with nothing if not a rich variety of entertainment options with limited technology and a limited budget, and few films that have achieved cult status amongst those who grew up in the 1980s exemplify that fact as thoroughly as The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Those of you [...]

To someone on the outside, I must look more than a little strange. The site, the whole look at feel of it, is designed to convey a message – that I’m a bit of a geek. Or maybe more than a bit of a geek, absolutely a geek. And it’s true, too; it’s been true [...]

The clouds rolled in from the west, a rippling ocean of mile high waves crashing against one another in a maelstrom of destructive force. Lightning flashed in its depths; explosions of thunder pealed through the sky, the roar of a furious dragon setting the very air aflame with blinding bursts of power. The [...]

Have you ever climbed Mt. Everest? Parasailed across the English Channel?
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Is your life interesting?
If you haven’t seen the commercials for German beer Dos Equis, you should mosey over to YouTube and check them out. The ads star actor Jonathan Goldsmith, whose career is long and [...]

If the President of the United States can do it, why can’t I?
For those who have kept up, I moved the blog away from The Simon Project and started using an old domain I had sitting around, the one I used for blogging way back in when online journals were new. That’s change number one. [...]

Only five days in and I’m already playing catch-up. The last couple days have been a little less progressive than I’d like, but the world, has a whole, has been pretty busy, and it seems doubly so around here. It’s fine, of course.

Hey guys… I’ve been really busy with NaNoWriMo for the last couple weeks, first with preparation and now with the actual writing, and I’m having a blast. With Her Most Incredibleness’ help, there are fifty chapters outlined, and I finished the rough draft for Chapter Four yesterday. I’m in the middle of Chapter 5 and [...]

These last couple weeks have left me little time to write at the project much. I know… I said I was going to try and post at least a little every day, but I should have known better before I said it. In any case, Her Most Incredibleness and I are ramping up for this [...]
