Shift

May 12, 2009

August 24, 2008

For my three readers that stop by on a quasi-semi-regular basis, you’re probably stunned to see a new post here. It’s nice to be surprised every once in a while, isn’t it? The thing is that writing has been on my mind lately, and I’ve been pondering and cobbling together bits of a story that [...]

April 29, 2008

Yes, yes, yes. We all know you’re a much better person than I am. We get it. “‘Charlie Rose’ by Samuel Beckett“ — Ha! Samuel Beckett, indeed.
