Angus, Thongs, and Full-Frontal Snogging — something, though not neccessarily a review

smokingpen | January 30, 2009

I started and finished reading Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging yesterday. Wait! That is not entirely true. I started it a couple of days ago, didn’t really find the time to work on reading it, started it last night, and a handful (or less) of hours later I finished it. And with that, I have [...]

The Problems with Traditional Print Publications

smokingpen | January 27, 2009

First off, I updated /story with a story (of sorts) titled Eighth and Vine. I will be making visual changes to those pages so… at present it doesn’t require anyone to log in to see it. Not sure if I will keep that rule alive as I don’t want to monitor people signing up and [...]

Generic Updates

smokingpen | January 26, 2009

As I wrote that title, I had images of growing up in Texas and going to the H.E.B for food and then heading down the generic isle that was filled with white boxes, black lettering, ingredients, and a barcode. Because teenagers aren’t all that creative, one of the things we ended up doing was putting [...]

Back into Politics

smokingpen | January 23, 2009

I have decided, for the past little while, to pretty much say nothing in regard to the political discourse the nation is going through. This is, in part, due to the rather obvious change in nature of the voting public with an African-American president, first lady, and two children. Though, I do have to say [...]

A Comment on the Death of Comics

smokingpen | January 22, 2009

Tor.com, repurposed to be a user friendly experience where authors and editors come together to present a series of articles, stories, links, and insights into all things fantasy and science fiction has an article the other day on the death of comic books. Specifically, one example of the impending demise of the comic book as [...]

Driving Around Town and Ending Up at the Library

smokingpen | January 21, 2009

Woke up way early this morning, before the sun was up, played with Camper while Erin got ready, then gave Camper to Erin while I got ready, and then started the car, put Camper in the backseat in the base I moved (this morning) from Erin’s car to mine, and then drove through town in [...]

Inauguration Day

smokingpen | January 20, 2009

Yesterday Camper turned four months old. Granted, that is nothing in adult, older than 25 world; but for someone who is almost literally living every day as though it is the first, Camper is doing remarkably well and is happy and is changing like one would expect a baby to change. Yesterday also marked one [...]
