I want to talk about the way I’m feeling right now, but the fact is, I’m depressed for reasons that don’t seem substantial to me. That’s how depression is. It’s often out of proportion with the levels of sadness you are feeling versus the adversity you are actually facing. Depression lies, is what I’m ( Read more... )

So I’ve finished the third issue of The Anvil. *pats self on back*

I can’t seem to decide what to work on now that I’m taking a break from the paper.

I have a novel that is nowhere near finished. only half started, really.

I have a few different ideas for a record I want to make, but can’t find the time ( Read more... )

Okay, I’ve been a bit negligent these last couple of days. Busy busy busy.

First, I have four paintings I have been meaning to get to work on. Actually, Five, but I’m not sure if I’ll be restarting the big one, since the initial pass at that is less than satisfactory, and I’m trying to decide if I want to ( Read more... )

So yesterday’s announcement of Steve Howe leaving Asia comes with news that they’ve already found his replacement, young Sam Coulson, whose name sounds vaguely familiar, but whose playing I haven’t heard (that I can recall).

Good Morning, Macketeers,

I don’t really have much to say today. I just thought I’d pop by and say good morning, and remind you that I’m selling music and fiction these days, and I’m making plans for a few new projects to keep me from noticing how few sales I’ve had so far.

First up is an art project I’ve ( Read more... )

Good Morning, Mackrophiles,

So I’ve been tweaking the album when I should be drawing my submission for the Stinson Mural Project. I’ll be stopping shortly and getting ready to go do laundry and cat-sitting at Mom’s soon. But I’m feeling that urge to just get the album done and post it and get it out of my ( Read more... )
