More books than time
I have frequently fretted about my to-read list, which is topping 300 books, and I can’t even manage to read a book a week. At that rate it’ll take me six years to finish the books on my list right now, which multiply exponentially as each day passes. Right now I’m reading The Little Guide [...]
Sell anything
I don’t want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don’t want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that. — [...]
Pale Horse, Pale Rider

Working on other things.
Hey look
My Marquesan tattoo was chosen as a favorite in a slideshow by the heavily-tattooed music listings editor and art director at the Houston Press. My life’s work is now complete.
The red pen
Read two short stories yesterday for my creative writing class. The first, “A & P” by John Updike*, was awesome and most excellent. I highly suggest you click that link and read it. The second was “Stitches” by Antonya Nelson, who happens to teach creative writing at U of H. Here is some of my [...]
True dat
I don’t believe in total freedom for the artist. Left on his own, free to do anything he likes, the artist ends up doing nothing at all. If there’s one thing that’s dangerous for an artist, it’s precisely this question of total freedom, waiting for inspiration and all the rest of it. — Frederico Fellini [...]
