I never even thought of that. Yes, me as a naked aurora.

Childhood's End

I've hunted clockwork tigers,
sailed the fizzing soda sea.
I've scanned the gumdrop shore,
heard the songs of Hon-a-lee.

I've climbed up licorice mountain,
that rises black from redvine vale.
I've sailed on a piece of cotton cloud,
and fled the banshee's wail.

I've trod the nightmare reaches,
where the bogeyman won't go.
Fought the fabled yeti beast,
'crost himalayan snow.
I've scewered...

I saw The Cooler today.

It was one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever seen.

Do yourself a favor and see it.

Stories about gambling make me intensely nervous...

Is that a falcon?

A new year - a new entry.

This year holds a great deal of promise for me, I think. I just need to get the cash flow regularized.

We're presently in the Year of the Sheep with a Water aspect, but the New Year, which will turn on January 21st / 22nd will be a Year of the Monkey, Wood aspect.

Translation: Hang on to...

I could use some wild in my year, I think I'll only hang on with one hand.

Thanks for the compliment on my eyes. I rather like them myself, given that they help me to see and all.

I need any kind of cash flow at all, except the kind that flows AWAY from me, if cash could just flow towards me I'd be a happy camper.

Spent the last week or two acquiring various projects for next year at a gaming convention in SoCal. I managed to snag a design position on the RPG sourcebook for Christian Gosset's Red Star which is an awesome industrial/fantasy rendering of the Cold War.

Christmas approaches with swift footsteps and nothing is wrapped, though all is purchased.

The sky is the color of blue that I usually only see in my dreams. Dark clouds are lolling on the horizon, but the sun is shining brightly over the still wet, fresh smelling streets.

It's a beautiful day.

Apparently, it's Journal Poetry Day - I had no idea. So, here's one of mine:

Reality

Scream and the world laughs at you
Laugh and they'll leave you alone
life takes a measure of
all of your treasures
and revels in all of your woes

Yell and your neighbors gibber
rage and they call you stoned
the spinning Earth has lost
all mirth but may...

I'm going to get to work on Oz. YAY!!!

I can talk about it too much, but it looks like I'm going to work on a new writing/game project next year on a fairly dark/gothic version of Oz - the fantasy country, not the prison show.

The streets of Santa Cruz smell clean and a large rainbow is playing over the bay, between the breakers...

Here comes the rain again...

So the rain stared somewhere around 3 o'clock here in the southern Bay Area of Cali and pretty much hasn't stopped since.

It's lovely.

How many cultures in our world are driven by rain? Both lack of it or an abundance of it set off a cascade of effects with reprecussions effecting hundreds of millions of people. There are more...

I used to live by the ocean at one point to on Sumner St. I remember how good and bad the ocean would/could smell. I miss riding my bike down to the harbor. Then I lived on Emeline and let me tell you I DON"T miss all the fucked up bums that walked up and down that street. I remember one time coming home and a woman asking us for a quater cause she just killed someone and need to make a phone call. Uck. I love it up here so much better no more homeless freaks all over.

Ahh yes I remember how wonderful downtown SC used to be before the quake. I remember the lights at Xmas time down there and all the shops. IT never was or will be the same since the quake. I still miss it though.

I miss the tree-lined "cavern" that Pacific used to look like.

I just saw Bad Santa -

Go see this film. Right NOW.

{If you have a macabre/dark sense of humour that is.}

I think it is going to be a new holiday tradition for me, along with A Christmas Story and Scrooged.

Anonymity = potential cruelty? An interesting point.

Ok now go see ELF, I laughed my ass off to it this afternoon. The funniest movie I have seen in awhile. My critters loved it too, so it is something the whole fam can see.

The Day After Thanksgiving -

Is that not the lamest name for a holiday ever conceived? We don't have a name for the friggin day other than "Friday" nor, to the best of my knowledge, have we ever had a name for it.

But I say, call a spade a spade - let's call it:

Consumerism Day!

Go forth and spend, spend, SPEND!!! Nevermind that...
