Just a quick philosophical question for you younglings today: If "getting lit" means getting wasted (i.e., trashed), why do we assume that downing so much alcohol that our breath can light an open flame from thirty paces is the epitome of a good time? I mean, if I've drunk enough that my drunken antics go from being entertaining … Continue reading Get Lit

Behold, A Finch!
I love my camera. I also love that the birds here in Kentucky like to be photographed. They're like the Kardashians of the bird world.
I Got Nothing
Feeling a bit melancholy today, so I went ahead and started listening to music from the Final Fantasy series. You know, that game series that pretty much shaped my formative years (okay, Final Fantasy III and beyond)? Yeah, that one. Hey, speaking of, if it's called Final Fantasy, why are there fourteen games in the … Continue reading I Got Nothing
Motivate Me, Sir!
One of the roughest parts of getting through a day is the realization that not matter what you do, nothing seems to motivate you. Soda? Not working. Exercise? Not working. Two ounces of coke off of a prostitute's ass (okay, metaphorically, but still...)? Not working. Though I'll forgive Charlie Sheen for the advice. He really … Continue reading Motivate Me, Sir!
I'm in this book, so the usual disclaimers about an "unbiased" opinion are in place. However, Barb pretty much nails how I felt about the book, so no harm, no foul, I believe.
Just a quick mention of a book review I did this morning. Go have some fun with it (I know I did).
In A Groove
I think I'm starting to get into a groove here with both writing, working and reviewing. Somehow I found the energy to juggle all of them while pretending to have this wild and crazy life. I wish I could claim it's been enlightening, but really it's just a lot of Pepsi. My heart really won't … Continue reading In A Groove

They’re Makin’ Me Famous
A really cool review of Lawyers in Hell over at the Otherwhere Gazette. Enjoy!
Holy Crap Jason Survived Another Con
Ah, time for the semi-annual "Holy Crap Jason Survived Another Con" After Action Review (henceforth to be called AAR because, well, I'm lazy). For past AAR's, click here, here and here. I rolled out of Lexington a little later than I thought I would (expected to be on the road by 0900, was really on … Continue reading Holy Crap Jason Survived Another Con

See You
I'll be leaving for MidSouthCon tomorrow morning, so this'll be a short update. Don't forget to get your free download of Janet Morris' Beyond Sanctuary today. I don't know how long it'll be at Amazon for free, so you should run and grab a copy now (just in case). No news on the publication date for anything … Continue reading See You
C-4 and a Smile
Brief note today since I'm still feeling under the weather. Only seven more days until MidSouthCon. Looking forward to meeting lots of new people and establishing new contacts. I've been sitting on the publishing sidelines (as it were) for the past two years, and I think it's time to venture back into the madness of … Continue reading C-4 and a Smile

Olympic Sport of Procrastinating
There is a male cardinal on my bird feeder right now, tormenting my kitties. He chirps, they chirp back. The brainwashing has begun. Excellent... Received my first royalty check last week and (I'm rich! Rich! Bite me, haters! Muwahaha!) can now buy myself dinner. Yeah, really. Authors don't generally make a lot of money, you know? … Continue reading Olympic Sport of Procrastinating
