I walk like a trapped wolf on a path of cement. I hung the sidewalks like I'm sniffing for blood. But I'm looking for escape. Or I'm looking for the sun. I'm looking for that place east of it and west of the moon. I look for it in books like I look for it … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 43
I am one of those people who always writes to music. I never, never write without music playing. In fact, I'm listening to music right now. I actually listen to music pretty much constantly. I guess I just like life having a soundtrack. Like I live in a musical. Anywho. I generally listen to movie … Continue reading Soundtracks by Mood: a Comprehensive Guide
Did that body-switch in Wonder Woman 1984 make sense? No. Did I ignore it just because I was happy to see Chris Pine back as Steve Trevor? Yes. 2. On the subject of movies, can we talk about that 5-hour long factory scene in Attack of the Clones? Did anyone else get either hard the … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol. 42
Well, 2020 is over folks, though that doesn't mean this year is going to be infinitely better than the last (don't mean to be a Puddleglum here), and if it's not, we can't say "well, it's 2020" anymore, so what are we gonna do??? What are we gonna blame it on now?? But anyway, with … Continue reading 2020 Wrap Up: the Year to End All Years
Hello 2021. Though I'm writing this in 2020 #timetravel 1. It's Christmas day, and my room is sparkling white. I guess all the white paint and white decorations have paid off, because now with the snow falling in swift fluffy flakes outside, every touch of green and every bit of concrete buried, my room feels … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol 41
Good morning. Or good afternoon. Or whatever time of day you are reading this. But congratulations. You nearly made it to the end of 2020, a year no one saw coming, or at least I certainly didn't see coming, since I wrote this piece of gold at the beginning of the year: "2020 is cool. … Continue reading Mission Accomplished, Burn Out NOT Avoided
Merry (almost) Christmas!! December turned out to be a super wacky month, but in the last few days I FINALLY was able to settle in and work on Christmas-y stuff like wrapping presents and what-not. It's almost the end of the year (thank GOODNESS) (though also like...maybe not get our hopes up for 2021??? Maybe … Continue reading Christmas Adam
"Twas the week before Christmas and all through the house, everyone was panicking, even the mouse" (Actually I'm not panicking, just sort of like "Christmas....is.....NEXT WEEK???? WHAT??) The holidays usually bring a rush and even with the weirdness of the pandemic, things are still busy, or maybe for you it has nothing to do with … Continue reading Creativity is hungry, give it a snack
1. "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas." December 1st. A snowstorm hits. 6:30 am the sun is still sleeping, but it's unusually bright outside. A familiar brightness that tells of long cold nights and shorter and colder days. Wet snow has covered everything. Orange lampposts and porch lights reflect back in the snow, … Continue reading Saturday Morning Post, Vol 40
*We're gonna pause here for a second to talk about my two missing blogs in the last two weeks. My Unannounced Hiatuses were unplanned and I totally meant to post this blog on Saturday but then Friday blew by and that night I only had energy to watch the Mandalorian *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH* and then go to … Continue reading I’m dead, but at least I got cool music
