Lost and impatient

I’ve been reading people’s complaints about Lost and feel I must chime in. After all, if there are to be this many detractors, someone has to come to its aid.
Lost has, since immediately after season 1, completely gone off the rails. I don’t mean that in the sense that story or suspense has become too [...]

There are words to describe <redacted to protect anonymity>.  You will find them in the following word cloud.

I’m sure you now know why I couldn’t post that on Linkedin…because they would yell at me.

Disappointing Days

Laziness set in quickly.  Then, boredom.  Then, I got yelled at by my wife.  And now I’m trying harder.
That sounds much harsher on my wife then it should.  She didn’t “yell” at me, per say, as much as read an essay by George Orwell about the downfall of writing and excerpts from a book about [...]

Just received word from the phenomenal Josh Elder that the proposal deadline for the Reading With Pictures Anthology has been bumped back to December 15th.  So, if you were longing to write, draw, ink, color, and letter your own comic about education or work as a team on one, you still have time.
It’s great exposure as I [...]

A sign of things

Some quick notes before I get back to work…
We’re nearly at our 1 month mark, here in Korea, and considering purchasing a wireless router as a reward.  Wouldn’t that be swell!  Anyway, it’s Friday afternoon here, nearly late night Thursday for those in the U.S. und Ahh, and I’m thinking about relaxing over the weekend [...]

‘Still Alive’ by Jonathan Colton, perhaps?

It has been some time since my last post.
After two computer problems, two visits to the Apple genius bar, being sick for a week, packing, and flying to the other end of the world we’re alive.  And that’s figurative and realistic…or something.
We’re here in Songpa-Gu, Seoul, South Korea settling into our second apartment in a [...]

Things are moving fast out here in Denver, so I’ll make bullets of the current.

We’ll be moving to South Korea by the end of this or early next month to teach English to children.  We’re both really excited as this means we’ll be able to teach, save some money, and attempt to ride out the [...]

Then what does Colorado have?  …mountains?  Let me see them…all right, you win this round.  Keep tuned to the Now? section for pictures of our many adventures!
We’re in the Denver area, hanging out, attempting to not count our chickens before they’ve hatched, and look for work.  As it stands we haven’t found much on this [...]

Well folks, the time is nigh.  A week from today we fly to Colorado to begin our eventual move to Pasadena.  It’s an exciting and extremely stressful moment in our lives as we’ve only been married two weeks now and started to get a handle on life as a couple.  Now its time to throw [...]

Its been some time since I’ve posted but I can’t apologize for that. Things have been crazy. Planning, the trying on of clothing, and writing of sizable, novelty checks that turn out to actually be worth what is printed on them have all come and gone. Today is the day.
As it stands, [...]
