Valkyrie
“She was one of those giant broad beamed Scandinavian giantess warrior women types; the fucking Russ Meyer buxotic women, you know what I mean: WOMEN with breasts and hips like we don’t have anymore. Oh my god what was that horrible- what is this god awful frightened 14 year old Continue Reading

sketch
Sat in on an art class at the Torpedo Factory, last week. Mostly tried to keep quiet in the back of the room, so as to not remind the teacher I hadn’t paid to be there. Did some sketches while I was there, though. Better than I expected, after so Continue Reading

Rules for dating (especially for “nice guys”)
In no particular order, and open to frequent revision: Rule 1: Forget everything you’ve learned. Forget whatever you saw on every TV show, movie, fairy tale, or webcast.

But those are some of the points that floated to the surface, when I consider the whirlwind stew of crowds, panels, badges, Diet Cokes, swishy skirts, feathery hairpieces, earplugs, DragonCon TV, people-watching, masquerades, escalators, fountains, cheers, novelty tee shirts, kilts, stompy boots, steampunks, goths, fairies, mostly naked people, Krispy Kreme Continue Reading
