"I Have Words on the Brain"

The TWITO paperback now has a new cover, based on Narrator Jack's original design for the audiobook. Thanks to Bill Rood and Rachel Rood for the additional design and reformatting.

Flying or Falling?

It's often hard to tell. You can do both at once -- metaphorically speaking.

Search Party

Here are a few recent search queries that brought seekers to this temple of scribomania.

agent cooper

My favorite quote of his: ""It's not so bad as long as you can keep the fear from your mind." Amen. Runner up: "You know, this is - excuse me - a damn fine cup of coffee."

I'm sorry, but this is a PG blog. Try searching for this phrase: ""Shellac the shillelagh".

cadillacs y los beatles

Not a good combo, mi amigo. Try el psychedelic Rolls Royce y el Mini y los Beatles.

humour and twist in much ado about nothing

Yep. That about sizes this place up.

what is a blateroon

Someone who babbles senselessly. Is that a Jeopardy! question? What are you trying to tell me?

coffee/god sighted

That is almost how I feel after my first cup in the morning. (Also see first entry above.)

the feeling of rattling in the head

I'm tempted -- that just might be the new name for this site.

Much Ado about NOTHING

I don't know why I don't draw anymore. (That's one of my masterpieces above.) I'm not really a visual artist, but I do find the act of drawing to be quite meditative. My philosophy about it is that one can and should draw anything: a shoe, a shirt, a coffee cup, a pineapple, a housefly, even last night's Chinese food carton. But I haven't done it in a while. I've sort of let shutterbugging take its place. But snapping pictures is anything but meditative. It's both a lot more analytical and a lot more dependent on luck. So I think I'll draw something this weekend -- and then maybe take a picture of it.

It's All Too Much

Take the concept behind the Sgt. Pepper cover, expand on it exponentially, and you too might come up with something like The Picture of Everything. Sit back and let the evening go.

Fish Food for Thought

More clip-art philosophy by me (and Lewis B. Smedes). I'm trying to think of names for these two. Suggestions welcome.

Red Eye

Local artists have created works of art on utility boxes along Central Avenue in the Heights section of Jersey City. This is how my eyes feel, sometimes, after a long day of staring at a computer screen. (Click the pic if you want a real eyeful. And you can eyeball the other boxes here.)
