I wrote this poem tonight while I mused upon the fact that nearly everyone I know has been watching the Olympics. Except me. I won’t say any more by way of introduction or explanation. I believe the poem speaks for itself.

Blood in the Rain is the short name of my music page at iComp and the podcast too. The long name is Blood in the Rain, songs of love and death by bama. Why? I have no idea. Well, that’s not strictly true. The image of Samurai Gabrielle fighting in the pouring rain to gain […]

Gotta a couple of things to share with you tonight.
First, the new look: You may notice that the banner on the pages has changed (again) and this time, and for the first time in all my years on the web, the banner looks like a piece of art, created by an artist. Well, it […]

Greetings, Xenites! My mind has been filled with words and images from The Path Not Taken and The Reckoning this weekend, watching both eps for the XWP In Review series.

Ah, yes, the perks of inheriting a small sum of dinars that allows you
freedom and the wherewithal, for, albeit, a limited time, do the things
one wants to do. My dad came into some dinars and made a […]

around and visiting websites and blogs and talking with other Xenites at
forums, and by revisiting the show itself by occasionally viewing and
reviewing the DVD set FlamingStar sent me. But now that I’ve got my new

Well, 2008 is certainly off to a bang! In January I bought my first ever brand new car (and she’s a beaut, lemme tell ya!). In February I got to see a dear friend I’ve been longing to see. And March has been every bit as momentous. Just last Sunday I had a hard […]
