Where it’s at
Atman, at track 10, is neck-and-neck for my favorite song on this album, Hora Zero, and it has a similarly wonderful zippy energy.

Other times just hearing a new song, or an old song in a new way will bring to mind a character and inspire a new scene, or a new story.

TARDIS & the Epic ToDo List
What’s not to love about the TARDIS? In this case, nothing. And because I’m always on the lookout for interesting craft projects (craft defined as ‘stuff I make with my imagination, and then my hands’), the Ladies At The Office … Continue reading →

To Begin Again
One of life’s most difficult things, I have noticed, is to begin again when others are watching. For me it has always been much easier to garner my private failures and tell no one when I try again, harder, ever … Continue reading →

Change Your Life in 3 Steps
Your life is a metaphor. If you don’t like what it says, how things are going, you can change your situation. And whether the things you don’t like about your life are rather small pet peeves, or huge and horrific, whether the … Continue reading →
