Anyone who knows me well, can testify that I am endlessly amused by the little things in life. I was working on a query for THE 5 6 RULES TO SURVIVING AN ALIEN ATTACK ON MY SIX YEAR OLD SELF (new title is pretty amazing right?!) When I got a text message. "Alejandro" was all … Continue reading Alejandro, Alejandro, Ale-ale-jandro

For The Love Of Macs
So I got a new computer over the weekend. I went in anticipating buying the older 2012 Macbook Pro and upgrading some of the features. Dropping $1800 on the retna 13.3 inch Macbook Pro was just a bit out of price range. Until I walked into best buy and found a perfect condition (minus a … Continue reading For The Love Of Macs
A little game of catch up…

Coreyography
Coreyography by Corey Feldman Dream A Little Dream's psychedelic story has been a long standing favorite in my DVD collection. If it was ever released to Blu-Ray, I'd be all over it.

This of course is failing to calculate time for gas, food, and endless bathroom breaks or when the car started to leak fluid. To say the least, we had some time to kill. However, as much as I would … Continue reading Ready Player One vs. Armada
Las Vegas Writer’s Conference 2016
The Cheetos in this hotel don't taste remotely the same as the Cheetos I buy at home. The truth is, I have a soft spot for them, particularly when I'm writing. It's like coffee in the daytime, wine or whisky in the afternoon, and Cheetos. I know how that sounds. Honestly it's not that often … Continue reading Las Vegas Writer’s Conference 2016
Fool Moon

Hillary Clinton Won
I’ve never personally experienced what it’s like to be a wealthy white man, a poor black man, or even an immigrant in our United States. the closest I've come is writing fiction. I’m fully aware that those are extreme generalizations but that gets to the heart of what I can speak too. I’m a woman. … Continue reading Hillary Clinton Won
Sinatra
February 1, 2016 Sinatra, The Life by Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan This biography qualifies for my 2016 reading challenge as the “book I own but never read.” I’ve owned two copies of this book, hard back and audio, for many years now but I never ‘found the time’ to read either. I think in … Continue reading Sinatra
