• A Clunky Year.

    Someone made a flippant comment the other day that 2016, as a number and a year, was just weird. This stuck with me a little bit, and, after some consideration, I have to agree. It’s hard to find a certain finesse or appeal to the numbers themselves as a whole, and it got me thinking…

  • Color Me Stoked.

    See that picture there? It’s from the first page of a Disney Princess coloring book that I colored the other day. Yup, the other day, not decades ago when I was a kid and coloring was cool. Actually, it’s kind of interesting that adult coloring books have completely exploded in popularity, and, as a former…

  • Everyone always reflects on what they did and didn’t do in the previous year, what they plan to do in the next year around this time, and I’m no exception. I’m just spreading my reflections out like butter to help me keep a good pace with daily postings. Today, I’d like to look back at…

  • The Books I Read in 2015.

    Anyone who has been following me for a while is likely to know of one particular goal I have every year that I consistently fail to accomplish: one of these day, I will reach my goal of reading 100 books in a year. Last year was again not one of those years. I didn’t even…

  • Last year, I had the opportunity to feature some of the stories featured in the premier volume of the World Unknown Review, but, this year, I decided to take it a step further by inviting my fantastic authors to do an interview with me so we can talk about these stories that caught my attention,…

  • MMXVI.

    Happy new year, everyone! Today is the first day of 2016, and, while time is really just an arbitrary construction of the human condition, I’ve always been fond of a new year. I like order and clear demarcations for deadlines and goals and what not. I like looking back on the past 365 days and…

  • Making this announcement is a little tricky at the moment because I have a cat shoving his face into mine wanting to cuddle, but the word must be released! The 2015 World Unknown Review is now available and ready for your perusal and enjoyment! This year’s volume is really fantastic (although I suppose I’m a…

  • World Unknown Review Cover!

    Since Luther mentioned it, I thought perhaps I’m a bit overdue for showing off the cover to this year’s World Unknown Review. It’s hard to believe that it will be available in ten days from today! I’ve received the proof and the cover looks damn good in the flesh, though I might do a little…

  • Holy Macaroni.

        See that? That’s a giant thing of vegan mac’n’cheese that they had at work yesterday, that I got to take home because apparently I was the only vegan working yesterday (and there are a few of us; it’s an international health food store, it’s to be expected).  The photo doesn’t do it justice.…

  • This is a post I’ve been meaning to make for the past week or so, but therein lies the unfortunate result of working in a grocery store before one of the biggest food holidays of the year. Amazingly, I managed to get today, the day before Thanksgiving off. I’m not complaining, especially since that means…
