Things I wrote

  • Injection

    I finally picked up the first volume of <em>Injection</em> by Warren Ellis. I am a <em>huge</em> Ellis fan, as I've been working my way through all the comics he's written and I'd heard good things on the Twitters about this latest series so I was excited to read it.

  • My Pantry

    I don't know about you, but I like food, and I <em>really</em> like cooking good food. So I often spend weekend afternoons reading cookbooks. I'm usually getting ideas, planning what I want to cook in my head, and daydreaming about the perfect pantry and kitchen set up.

  • Hild

    It took me a while, I came back to it after leaving it, but I finished <em>Hild</em> yesterday morning.

  • Dogs Songs

    I am a dog lover, through and through. And a few weeks ago when standing in the Powell's on Hawthorne, I saw Mary Oliver's <em>Dog Songs</em> and had to have it. It's a slim volume, mostly made up of poems, but there are a few short essays as well. And it is lovely.

  • Success defined

    My friend Jonathan Snook recently wrote and asked what does success look like. He's also been tweeting quite a bit about it as well and it got me to thinking.

  • The Glass Sentence

    <em>The Glass Sentence</em> by S.E. Grove is a great rollicking adventure featuring the story of Sophia, the niece of one of the renowned cartologers of her age. The world has gone through a great disruption and it has thrown all the various places on Earth into different time periods.

  • Etta and Otto and Russell and James

    This was not an earth shattering book, but it was a really great story to get lost in as we began our vacation.

  • Paper by FiftyThree

    In the process of making Paper work for the iPhone, FiftyThree was actually quite daring, they rethought the entire app and so with the new version there were quite a few changes on the iPad version as well.

  • Embassytown

    I finished China Miéville's <em>Embassytown</em> the other night just before going to sleep. This was yet another book where for the first part I wasn't too sure what I was reading, but wow, the end grabbed me and I couldn't put it down.

  • Low

    Last weekend I finally read the first volume of <em>Low</em>, an interesting series that is set far into the future where the sun is actually burning up the surface of the earth, so all the people have moved into the depths of the Ocean.

  • Old school

    Lately I've been putting what energy I have to give into some old school ideas on the web. Instead of jumping on the latest and greatest social media community, I'm reverting back to some things that have been around for a long time.

  • Hawkeye

    I read the first volume of <em>Hawkeye</em> last night. I'd been on the hold list for quite some time at the library trying to get it. And now, I'm in love.

  • Several short sentences about writing

    Just over a week ago I started reading <em>Several short sentences about writing</em> by Verlyn Klinkenborg. This book is already changing the way I write, the way I think about writing&mdash;it made me want to learn sentence diagramming. Strangely surprising.

  • The Paper Magician

    I ended up reading <em>The Paper Magician</em> by Charlie N. Holmberg. If fit the bill perfectly, it isn't a great book, but it was delightful in many ways.

  • The Girl in the Road

    Yesterday I finished reading Monica Byrne's <em>The Girl in the Road</em> and, to be quite honest, I'm still sorting through what the book was about and if I liked it.
