General Stuff Fridays Wanda was always missing the good stuff. If anything spontaneous happened she missed it. Her friends were approached by security and invited backstage at the last Hottest Toys concert – while she was in the bathroom. She was always the 108th caller to any contest MIX 107 held. She always showed up [...]
General Stuff Fridays: My friend Ami’s clan was a laughingstock, but she wore her family’s colors proudly. Where the rest of us wore earth colors, colors taken from our natural fibers, our animal skins and furs, her clan dyed wool to be brightly colored. They did a bad job of hunting after that, bright red [...]
General Stuff Fridays People think that there’s one Sandman who puts people to sleep and gives them dreams. Nope. Dreams are fabricated by humans; but once they’re dreamed, if they’re not harvested by the dream keepers, terrible things can happen. They make songs about how your dreams can come true, but do your really want [...]
General Stuff Fridays Jenna never liked the songs about fools being in love. A fool being in love was a delicate matter. Your cleverness falls when you’re in love. Your bias toward the object of your desire may force you to be kinder to them when a stinging barb is needed. And your general mentality [...]
Patrick is an old man who lives in a brand new house. He made sure the house was built on sterile land – actually had a dark shaman sow it with salt before he built. He wanted no chance of anything living, or anything that had ever lived, to rise from there. The house was [...]
General Stuff Fridays Why don’t we do allegory and satire anymore? I mean, Animal Farm was a classic allegory, and if I’m not mistaken, today’s political and social climate pretty much begs for allegory. Why aren’t people writing more of it? I don’t really have experience doing it (but we know how to get experience, [...]
General Stuff Fridays What amuses me about people is how much we emulate Aesop’s Fables. Take the weather. We are all convinced that whatever weather we deal with is the worst, and that anyone else who has to deal with less than we do is a complete wuss. Take Southerners and snow. We don’t get [...]
General stuff Fridays: And again we have a promo for a podcast that doesn’t exist! This week: MIMECAST!
Pie week continues! General stuff Fridays: Those who say that food is not love have apparently never eaten pie. Pie is warm. It crumbles in the right places, but always has a foundation that is deceptively strong. Inside it is soft, whether it’s meat or fruit or custard, and it is something that you just [...]
General Stuff Fridays: I’ve speculated what the police/army would do if the world became a lot more peaceful. And I just realized it. They would form militias to cover the “*police” terms we come up with. Grammar police, thought police, chocolate police, if something needs to be regulated and protected, these people will protect it. [...]
