Writers Gotta Get Read
I made it on a top ten list. Made the number one spot on a top ten list. About to say Hot Damn and treat myself to some chocolate-covered almonds.
No, wait.
Hot freaking damn.

Bryan Fuller Is Galactus
This is why the internet is a dangerous place. Think on
this: Angela Bassett and Rosario Dawson as captain and first officer in a Star
Trek series. Read it again, dammit, ‘cause you ain’t heard me. Rosario Dawson… and Angela Bassett… and Star
Trek.
Read THIS,
then join me in my ready room.
Reality…can only handle so flippin’ much because the
imagination is constantly poking at it.

The Same Place Twice
Bad things happen. They have always happened. There has
never been a single day otherwise. Dinosaur laid its eggs; turned around, they
were gone. Oog created a family unit. Lost half to predators, half to sky.
Lightning. No clue in his primitive brain that the fire it left was the
world-changer he needed. Oog simply went away. But we found Oog's paintings in
a cave. Oog preferred a mix of dark

Threesomes
I've got 3 books out. This makes me happy. Each is
different, each is lovely, each is me, each is not me. If I were a more patient
man willing to jump the flaming hoops of traditional publishing --which I will
with other projects, I'm sure-- I'd have released them via the caring hands of
Random Penguin or some such, but these 3 are me, myself and I.

Random Zombie Bits for A Tuesday Afternoon
Zombies would have to learn to be fast eaters.
Would Rush Limbaugh make a Zombie lose its appetite?
Zombies clearly have brain activity, and since they've got a jones for brains, shouldn't they be eating each other's heads? A lot easier pickings than going after fast, dangerous prey like the "living."
Would there be groups saying "Pray the zombie away"? I think not. That'd be ridiculous.

I'm A Mer-MAN!
When I was a kid I thought I'd grow up to be a seeker of
mysteries. I'd go off with a camera to find what I could find about the Loch
Ness monster, about Bigfoot, UFOs, all kinds of excellence. If I found
something I would share it, and if I didn't I'd share that too without any
attempt to mislead. Fast forward to now and the plethora of bastardized
"explorer" shows and I realize, wow, what a
