Starman: Sons of the Father

Reply

Tonight, I finished the final entry in the Starman series of trade paperbacks. I’m at a loss. I’d been anxiously awaiting the last trade to show up at the shop. It did last week. I had dinner with a friend, so I didn’t make it by tonight to see this week’s haul. It’s a good thing, because I might not have finished the trade. It’s a bitter-sweet ending, both to the story and to my reading adventure of it. I’d been anxiously awaiting the conclusion of a story I didn’t … Continue reading →

Oh What A Life

Reply

Had to go to the dermatologist today. Adult acne, oh what fun. I guess I was lucky not to have any severe breakouts as a teen, but it doesn’t get easier as an adult. I really don’t have acne in that sense of the word anyway. Normally nothing breaking out, just sealed up acne bumps on my ever-more-exposed forehead. I’ve been going since December. I’ve gone from medicine at night before bed to twice a day. Today was a chemical peel and stabbing exercise. Back in two weeks for a … Continue reading →

Falcon Five-O & Photo Fun

Reply

Have been experimenting with photoshop the past few days. Some stuff was just fun. Other stuff I felt like I turned out some pretty good work. And the best thing even if no one else agrees, I had fun doing it. If some of it actually defies logic and sells, then all the better. Do hope some will check it out and let me know their thoughts, though. Meanwhile, I received Falcon Five-O‘s current CD today. I’ll try to do a real review later, but suffice it to say that … Continue reading →

More Photo Fun

Reply

Found another place to display some of my photography. This site I can still make use of some of my lower resolution photos because they’ll only print images up to the best size for that particular image. Hence, most of my stuff, which I know will print well at 5 by 7 is, in fact, showing up as available up to that size. I’m trying to post multiple images of subjects so that someone could, hypothetically, buy a grouping. I’m going to try to update my site to have some … Continue reading →

Photos For Me

Reply

I posted a couple of my larger pictures from London last April. I didn’t take many at a very high resolution, but the guy at the site checked these out and felt that size-wise, they could work. He also mentioned possibly making some sort of option where the photographers could select the largest size something could be printed at. I think that would be cool. I’ve got some pictures that I like that I think could make decent small prints, maybe greeting cards? The neat thing about the site is … Continue reading →

All the News that’s Fit to Print

Not much new in the last couple of days. Slowly getting my bedroom put back right. I started painting it two weekends ago. Instead of just doing a plain old paint job, I decided to do something “fun” since it’s taken me four years to finally paint the room where I lay my head each night. It’s got an old world yellowed look going for it. I’ll take pictures when it’s actually completely straight. It’s funny how one thing leads to another leads to another leads…. well, you get it… … Continue reading →

Spring is Coming?

Reply

Came home from work today determined to get in some outside time and exercise. I really feel like spring is coming just because I got to wear shorts outside! It was a little cool with the wind, but after ten or fifteen minutes, that feeling passed. While I was home, it was close to 80 degrees. Hard to believe that a mere 100+ miles can make this much difference, but this time of the year, it’s a phenomenal difference. I came back to the same gray days I left, but … Continue reading →

Sitting in traffic this morning, it occured to me how much the traffic in Atlanta has to say about the lives we lead. Even in the short five mile commute to work, there are people constantly jockeying for position. People who can’t wait their turn at the light, cut through parking lots to get ahead. It’s all part of the corporate lifestyle – people fighting for their little piece of the American dream. If it means I have to squash you to get it, I will, don’t worry. So, the … Continue reading →

I awoke this morning to the site of a sprinkling of snow and ice on the cars and grass. I was not expecting this to say the least. While pretty in a way, I’m so ready for spring that it sort of crushes the hopes. It also started me thinking. In writing, water is always supposed to be a symbol of cleansing. Often at the denouement of a movie or a book, a character will be drenched in water, symbolic of washing away the sins of the character. What then … Continue reading →
