Filking Strong
I usually don't post here much, as I've mentioned, but I just want to publicise some of my newest filk songs.
All the songs mentioned can be found at my filk blog.

New blog: moshez.wordpress
So! Here is a public announcement.
I am moving my main blogging to http://moshez.wordpress.com
Sorry. It was fun while it lasted, but the SUP insanity seems insane indeed, and I am jumping ship before it gets *too* crazy.

Parkour vol. 2: the adventure continues
So, I am continuing on my voyage to become a traceur. Today's workout was shorter than tommorow's: my body is letting me know this is too much stress. Tommorow will be Moshe'Z official "day off", with no running. I think I need to rest...but nonetheless it was fun, and I discovered many cool places around to Parkour in. I am still taking it easy ( Read more... ) -
Running by the woods in the cold evening
The art is lovely, harsh and deep

Novel ideas
They say that novel ideas are a dime a dozen. They are completely right. There are a gazillion. Through writing, I've thought of several -- Night of the Loving Dead (necrophiliac and zombie save the world from an evil necromancer), National Crime Writing Month (a NaNoveller is using the forums for ideas to commit unsolvable crimes) and It Takes ( Read more... ) -
NaNoWriMo experiences: an interim summary
I have finished my 3rd and "officially last" NaNo novel today. I am starting to work on a novel called Space Debris which is pseudo-NaNovel: I am going to include it in my word count (via the old familiar trick of "then he read a novel which went like this") and I'm going to attempt 2K a day but I mostly started it in November so I won't stop be a ( Read more... )
