As I write this wee post I’m sitting here staring at walls and walls of boxes. To be honest there is a small threat of tears. I’m moving, yet again (to be fair it has been a year this time, not three months) onto greener, less roommatey, more special man friendly pastures and while it’s [...]
Means very little time to write. It’s looking like a super busy summer here in the studio. Being this busy always leaves me with dueling emotions. On one hand, YAY! Lots of work (We’ve talked about this, I go batty if I have idle hands) on the other hand, I think “Oh lord how will [...]

That’s not to say that I’m about to spill out a poem from deep in some valve of my heart, not my style. [...]

Oh sleep. One day I rue your existence, the next I’m sending flowers and calling you until your message machine is full and my only recourse is to stand out side your window at two in the morning with a boom box pumping Peter Gabriel. Please come back, sleep. I didn’t mean it.

Okay, I’m going to be a bit of a jerk today. How? I’m only going to post a sketch, since I’m up to my eye balls in work. So, until I have a bit more time to post some of the goodies brewing in the studio you will have to settle for this — A [...]
