A Weird Nostalgia (VEDA Day 4)

Hello Rebel, and welcome back to my life.

So, a couple of days each week, for about an hour at a time, I get very busy shipping all of the print books that have been ordered by Amazon each week.

It usually consists of unpacking some boxes of books into other boxes of books, but only after signing the books inside, because all books I sell through Amazon are signed.

The Los Angeles Vacation (VEDA Day 3)

We went on a vacation to Los Angeles. Here's as much of it as I filmed, which, as per usual, wasn't enough.

Scattered, Splattered Attention (VEDA Day 2)

BIG takeaway from a week's vacation in Los Angeles: the city (and maybe other cities?) take your attention and splatter them all over the place. It makes it hard to focus, and might be why I had trouble focusing when I lived there.

No-Cut Confessional (VEDA Day 1)

I'm on my way back from a "vacation" to Los Angeles. It's made me think a lot of slightly uncomfortable thoughts about why I moved out of that city in the first place. Here's those thoughts.

Booktubers Don’t Want Free Books?

Hello Rebel, and welcome back to my life.

Today I need you to bear with me, because I’m going to complain about a very first-world problem. Okay? And I know it’s a first-world problem. I recognize that. But I want to talk about it anyway.

It is very difficult to give free books to Booktubers. And book bloggers. And bookblrs, which is apparently what people who run Tumblr book blogs are called.

I Got A Guitar

Hello Rebel, and welcome back to my life.

So, I can tend to be a pretty expensive person to shop for on my birthday. I’m sure it stresses my wife out a little bit, although she’s very good about trying not to complain.

But this year there was only one thing I wanted, and I was very happy to tell my wife that I was pretty sure it wouldn’t be very expensive at all.

I Am A Glasses Person

Hello Rebel, and welcome back to my life. I did get a haircut, thanks for noticing.

No, but of course, something else on my face is different. That’s right. I’m growing my beard back out.

Turns out I thought my wife really liked the goatee, but we had a conversation last week, and I said, “I’m glad you like the goatee better, because I find it very fetching,” and she was kind of silent for a really long time.
