I’ve been in many boring meetings in my time as a faculty member, and before that I spent much time in occasionally boring classes. Somewhere I developed a doodle that I find to be a lot of fun, and hopefully you’ll find it interesting. It’s the graphic version of the Surrealist’s automatic writing exercise. There,Continue reading “Surreal Doodle”

Broom, Broom, Sweep You Must…
Where can you reduce clutter in your life? I’m really good at decluttering. When my wife died, I had to clear out an incredible amount of clothes, books, furniture, sewing machines, craft items, and fabric. (Hundreds of pounds of fabric…) Then I moved and had to clear a great deal of my stuff from theContinue reading “Broom, Broom, Sweep You Must…”
Dash to the Door!
Come up with a crazy business idea. I think my idea of creating a new theatre group is crazy enough, so I’m hard-pressed at the moment to come up with something else that’s crazy or crazier. But I wanted to springboard off today’s prompt and talk about someone else’s crazy business idea. My fiancée’s ex-husband,Continue reading “Dash to the Door!”
Deja Vu, Again?
I’ve often talked to students about how no experience is ever truly wasted, and that ideas and experiences often return in a useful fashion. I was a DJ in college and in commercial radio, and so doing a podcast and being a DJ in Second Life naturally followed. My experiences making films when young resurfaceContinue reading “Deja Vu, Again?”
Huck!
Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it? Looking at photos of my youth, you can often see me posing with a Huckleberry Hound doll. He was my constant companion for a few years. And then, at some point, he just disappeared. I asked my mother about allContinue reading “Huck!”
With Civility, Of Course!
In what ways do you communicate online? My answer to this prompt, found in the title, is possibly not what the question intends. But if we had more of that, the world would be a better place right now. As for what means or apps, I use: buckle up—there are a few! Of course IContinue reading “With Civility, Of Course!”
Chief Cook, Bottle Washer, and Baby Machine
Think back on your most memorable road trip. The title of this blog post comes from a line I heard years ago. I talked about the whole event on my podcast, Audio Chimera, in an episode with the same title, so I won’t repeat it here. I exhort you to go listen to it forContinue reading “Chief Cook, Bottle Washer, and Baby Machine”
Scamchat? Snapscam?
I recently reactivated my Snapchat account. I forget why. But almost immediately the scammers started to try and connect with me. And since I like to play with them, I said yes! One of my favorite things is their poor use of the English language. This is the easiest way that they tip us offContinue reading “Scamchat? Snapscam?”
Who Wants To Be Immortal?
What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life? Well, don’t we all? Doesn’t the desire for longevity flow through te veins and neurons of almost all humans? Aren’t we fascinated by vampires and other immortal creatures for exactly that reason—we all want to live forever? Of course, our genes haveContinue reading “Who Wants To Be Immortal?”
The Future’s Passed
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? I have a lot of both paper and computer files that contain enough notes for me to use to write full time, eight hours a day, for another lifetime (at least). Sadly, I’ll never get the chance to do that unless IContinue reading “The Future’s Passed”
