Genre & Literary
Using the ampersand there because I’m tired of seeing the “vs.” Too? I keep thinking I’m done with this discussion, this rabbit-hole, this time-suck. But then I stumble across something like this, and it rings true in a way I’d never considered: That’s from American Grindhouse. And, that freedom Jonathan Kaplan’s talking about there, that’s …

Carry On
There’s a line in Dan Seals’ “Everything that Glitters (Is not Gold)” where the narrator, a rodeo guy, is talking about his horse: Old Red he’s getting older And last Saturday he stumbled But you know I just can’t bear to let him go That always kind of breaks my heart. And, I’m not in …

Real, or Memorex?
I’ve always figured that the many-worlds interpretation was neat, maybe even gives some other theories a get-out-of-limbo-free card, but pretty much useless. Not because we’ll likely never prove or disprove it—that’s always a weak reason for dismissing a possibility—but because it makes all human action meaningless: if each branch-point goes both ways and I’m functionally …

Freddy’s Not Dead
And, are these even kind of in order? Well, not sure about the video game, I guess. Either way, this was a lot of work. A lot of very worthwhile work. Thanks: I would look up the Jason-version—I seem to remember a pretty cool one, to the tune of . . . Drowning Pool, maybe?—but …

Ghost Town Writer’s Retreat
Think I’m gonna have to make this an annual thing. Great time this long weekend, starting with me getting to my first panel late: It was “Haunts & Nachos,” but really it was Travis Heerman and me just answering any and all horror questions we could for an hour, whilst it rained and stormed outside—this …

Past Couple of Weeks
have been full of events. Feels like I haven’t been wheels-down since Denver Comic Con, about. Had three deadline stories to jam down along the way, and trying to finish a novel besides. But, of course: wouldn’t have it any other way. Anyway, at Tattered Cover Lodo . . . last week, I think it …
