There’s a remarkable thing about the passage of time as you get old: it seems like everything is going faster and faster, but really, when you take it in perspective, it’s actually going incredibly slow, but your attention to life’s little details is both more refined and yet lazy. When you were a kid, ( Read more... )

In other news, book writing goes slowly. Another attempt shall be made momentarily. But first I must feed the catsharks and get some caffeine into this bloodstream of mine. Or is that blood ( Read more... )

Okay, strange title. Genesis. White Mountain. Trespass album. Go listen to it. Protean masterpiece, rough bits and all. Every track is lovely.

I’m trying to re-engage this novel I started. The idea is so shiny, I can’t put it away, but I can’t seem to figure out where I’m going with any of the parts. I ( Read more... )

So it’s me and a coffee and Thomas Dolby’s Map of the Floating City this morning. Soon it will probably be How To Destroy Angels. I’m thinking about maybe spending the next few days writing and recording an EP of solo keyboard music. I’ve never really done that before. It’s too late for Christmas, but hey ( Read more... )

PBW2
Wrote up a manifesto for creating a new process for PBW2 in 2015. It’s hald manifesto, half actual plan.

I’ve been a little negligent of a lot of things lately, including this blog. It’s a combination of things, really.

Thomas Dolby this morning, in case you’re wondering.

Been pretty quiet these past few weeks. Still hurting over the loss of Lucky. Extraordinary, really. You don’t expect the death of a cat to hit you like this is hitting me. I was pretty broken up over Charlie, too, but he’d only been with us for about a ( Read more... )

So it looks like we’re going to need that camera equipment AND a new (giclee; ‘HD’ pigment ink) printer to reproduce limited series of both Dawn’s work and my abstracts, which, to be frank, don’t reproduce particularly well in any other medium. So, where Dawn wanted to run a low key crowdfunding campaign ( Read more... )
