A book can travel a long way with a person, physically carried through space, and psychically, carried in one’s mind.
I recently finished re-reading, Dhalgren, by Samuel Delany, for, perhaps, the fifth time. Dhalgren is definitely one of those books.
Below is a picture of my old copy, at one time duct-taped together, now left [...]
Thanks to the magic of craigslist, we got a used ps2 and a stack of games this holiday. That’s Sony Playstation 2 for those who aren’t up on the lingo—including me, until recently. The ps3 is now all the rage, so an old ps2 is easily and cheaply acquired. Remember, a game that was fun [...]
I have mentioned before our love of the free, open source drawing program for kids, Tux Paint. Lately, Paul and Sophie invented a new game to play using Tux Paint: Supermaze!
But first, to give the non-initiated a quick tour of Tux Paint, here are some pictures, made by Luc, [...]
A recent conversation with some writerly folk yielded a plethora of fringe culture art references from steam punk, to webcomics, to you-name-it. As a result I ended up reading all 1000+ comics at Questionable Content.
I highly recommend–it’s like watching Friends only with grunge, swearing, and indie music [...]
I have previously posted about my severe disappointment that CBS canceled my vampire PI show “Moonlight.” (Moment of silence here, in remembrance of Mick, or in hatred of CBS, fielder’s choice.)
I love getting really involved in a story, which I certainly have done with Moonlight. But lately this one has [...]
Writing is easy: all you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until the drops of blood form on your forehead. –Gene Fowler
In the midst of our summer domestic abundance, my writing is sucking the big one.
To shore myself up a bit, I’m reading a short book called Art & Fear [...]
Well, I didn’t read it because it doesn’t have any words. But The Arrival, by Shaun Tan, is about the most beautiful and moving book I’ve seen in years.
Go get it at the library or buy a copy–get a new one so the author [...]
When the kids were little, I loved carrying them. I figured they were only going to be small enough for a few years, so I better snuggle them up while I had the chance, before they were going going gone, before they were big enough to carry me. So I never put them down. It’s [...]

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.twitterage
