Read More..>>Arts and Farts and Crafts Week 1: Writing - “Tar and Feathers”
We’ve decided to take a more “mixed media” feel to our artsy-fartsy challenge (once called “Writer Wrong”), so I’ve decided to call it “Arts and Farts and Crafts” in reference to one of my favorite films.
Next week’s medium is PHOTOGRAPHY. The theme is OUTDOORS. If anybody would like to play along, create some [...]
Inspiration
I am writing again. And not silly blog-writing, either (although that will continue at my normal, leisurely clip). I’m going back to my training in creative writing and actually putting things down on paper.

In my increasing efforts to branch out from my ever-multimedia-saturated posting, I’ve decided to also review things that take shorter to digest (er…ingest). Food. And what better way to start than sweet, delicious candy? And what better candy than…
Gummy bears! Specifically, Wolfgang Gummy Bears! I got these puppies (not really puppies) on Easter 2006. [...]
Self-Inflicted
Chunks of tender beef deep fried with batter and sautéed with orange peel and scallions in spicy sauce.
My best friend was a self-mutilator. A cutter. For years, he would draw and trace, trace and retrace the lines on his arm with a kitchen knife. With the silver and shiny blade he would rip at the [...]
