• Seven Sins: Part 4 – On Gluttony (BSG fanfic)

  September 18, 2010

  Every night, Leoben cooks me dinner. He hums as he puts the meat into the oven. Sings off-key as he drops vegetables in the pot. Sometimes he bakes. The smells waft towards me, and my stomach growls. His baking reminds me of Aunt Giulia, when she came to my mother's house and made us cookies.&hel...

• Surfing Entropy and Other Partial Truths

  June 3, 2009

  It's been a while since I've updated here, and I admit now that I am using this forum because I know it is one that people I know don't tend to read. I've spent the past two years getting my MA in Lit/Creative Writing, and now after all of this training, I feel less capable than ev...

  There's a feeling inside me that isn't translating into the stories that I have promised to my teachers for my creative projects. It's the undertone to "Without You I'm Nothing" by Placebo and Bowie, and "Hollywood's Not America" by Ferras. I don't know what it means. There's a story building in ...

• Holy BSG!

  April 4, 2008

  So I sat down at 10pm Friday with my mom, bag of Nuts to You popcorn on my lap and a bottle of water in my hand, lights off, feet on the coffee table, sweet glow of the flat-screen TV filtering through my glasses, ready to experience an hour of television many months in the…

• Happy Valentine’s Day from BSG

  February 13, 2008

  I couldn't find a BSG Valentine's Day gif, and so instead of doing something useful like the 75 pages of reading that's due tomorrow, I figured, why not make my own? Enjoy :)   Love to all!

  I realize that the voices in my head are not my characters, as they ought to be. Right now, the voices in my head are my doubts. The voice that looks at everything I do and says, "crap", "not good enough", "unimportant", "uninteresting", "unworthy", "useless", and a host of other adjectives that ...

• For Auld Lang Syne: Happy 2008!

  December 31, 2007

  At this moment, 2008 spans out before us in a radiant ribbon of potential.  And looking out at the next 365 days, I am reminded of the fantastic opportunity that every moment presents, to recreate ourselves and our destiny, to chart a path of our choosing, to take those first steps, and...

  December 22, 2007

  My birthday was the 21st, and so this is a little late.  Usually I write these recaps on my birthday, or the day before.  But like much this year, I'm running behind. I was looking at my entry for my 28th birthday, and I realize this year has many of the same issues, except in…
