Something on the Wind

November 7th, 2007 · No Comments

The Dark is Rising, but not my spirits.

May 22nd, 2007 · No Comments

I’m reading an interview of the scriptwriter who adapted The Dark Is Rising, and I just want to cry.

My job is draining every bit of wonderment out of me. Originally taken because I was pretty sure it was an easy(er) way of getting into the studio and perhaps even having a creative outlet for the shows we air, it’s now become a nightmare of customer service and sales.
The one thing keeping me sane [...]

You want dreams? Have some dreams

May 11th, 2003 · No Comments

I’m going back as far as I can remember.
I”m with a group, and we’re competing against another group…. something about doing yard work, fixing the house we’re all stuck living in until the end of the contest. I’m told by my team leader ( a very handsome guy ) that our mext ‘mission’ is [...]

Update.

November 5th, 2002 · No Comments

Yes, it’s been a while.
Hard to write when you’ve got someone sitting right there, pleased to hate you.
Anyway, with that unpleasantness out of the way, and no I haven’t heard anything since that last posting, life goes on, as it were.
7 days until the Foreign Service Oral Assessment.
I’ve started a novel. Yes, a novel. [...]

1. If you could only choose 1 cd to ever listen to again, what would it be?
My God. Couldn’t happen.I’d wither on the vine with just one piece of music. If I could only ever choose 1 cd to listen to ever again, I’d choose nothing.
