Too much sleep last night, and how often do I get to say that? I'm groggy, but from sleep, not insomnia. Days off, I end up with all this random crap, instead of actual journal entries. Day like these, my journal entries must consist of the random crap that floats through my days, or they will consi...

Painfully not awake. Thank you, Monsieur Insomnia. We saw Watchmen yesterday, and I loved it, almost without reservation. My only notable reservation was My Chemical Romance's (gag) horrid cover of Dylan's "Desolation Row" blaring during the first half of the end credits. But then Zack Snyder redeem...

My husband asked what to get me for Christmas and I said a day. A day to get this out-of-control hair cut. A day to have these wild brows waxed. A day to have a makeover and actually match my foundation to my skin. A day to slowly walk through the mall and touch fuzzy sweaters and try on cool jeans....

We're starting a new every-day-or-so post here at Cinematical which will look back at some of our favorite scenes in film; the ones that stand out, make you laugh, make you cry -- quite literally the scenes that make the movie. Of course a great film probably has more than one great scene in it, but...

An especially unnerving dream this ayem, and I've not been this dreamsick in——I don't know——weeks. I'm trying to focus on the sunlight in my office, the music, the coffee, these words. Anything but the events of the goddamn dream. I think the micro-vacation has turned into a nano-vacation, a...

A hard rain last night, which got rid of a little bit of the snow, and made an utter glacier of our driveway. And the temperature won't rise above freezing today. Yesterday, I did a very satisfactory 1,732 words, and so finished my second piece for Sirenia Digest #38, "The Belated Burial." Vince is ...

I am moving on Friday and braving perilous roads to haul my crap up North again.Zee and Squigglz are busy or out of town.And frankly we need the day off from the wanky bullshit that's been going on lately. So for one day... and one day only...Friday is Rules Free. Except for Troll Posts all the othe...

I fled the house yesterday. I'd not been out since the snowstorm began on New Year's Eve. It begins to show, after a while, the not going out. I look in the mirror, and it shows. Spooky and I bundled up (mid-thirties F out) and headed away from the city towards Conanicut Island. We passed bright rin...

Gay music and video from NewNowNext.com Logo TV produced a video about the possible effect that national "call in gay day"  may have on  the nation. The 24-year-old manager of a downtown Seattle coffee shop is taking the day off without pay, intending to volunteer at the Northwes...

I did manage to determine yesterday that a) I spend far too much time on the journal (1.5-2.5 hrs. per day, on entry composition alone, so say 45-75 hrs. per month), but b) it has become indispensable as a means of self promotion. Without it, the books would get little support, and without it, Siren...
