Why yes, I did have an uncle who was pot-bellied pig, how did you guess?.
Shh, I’m killing fishes with my mind.
You want to see my stitches? I show you them.
Happy New Year already, now will you shut up and let me sleep this off?

I’m not posing for any more pictures, so you better make this a good one.

Me and my shadooow…

Turn the damn heat up already!
Have you ever really looked at your foot… ’cause I find it fascinating.

We lost our white cat to cancer on Dec 9 2009—5 years ago today. I was too heartbroken for captions and just posted pictures. She was a dear old thing and we loved her very much. 2014 update, have added a few pictures below the original set as I stumbled on them looking for these.
Added 2014

Updated: This was inspired by Scalzi’s pranking of Wil Wheaton (link below) and perpetrated by my friend James (link in comments) with the support of a rather large cast of unindicted co-conspirators. It is also made of awesome.

Lately I’ve been posting a lot on Facebook and Twitter about vivid and bizarre dreams. Someone asked me where I get these things, and I thought that since the answer is writing related I’d toss it up here as well:
Unusual density of cross-linking in my neural networks. Or at least that’s the operating theory as it’s strongly in sync with family medical history. It’s part of why I write. When I’m writing a lot, I don’t remember my dreams much at all and when I do they’re almost always about the story I’m working on and useful to moving the story forward. When I’m writing less, my dreams tend to be wildly uncontrolled and extremely vivid. Since I’m currently in wait and see mode for which project is next up, I’m not really writing and the side effects are starting to get me.
