I had a different post scheduled, but this matter is heavily time sensitive. Jill’s The Minäverse is on sale now on Amazon for 99¢, until the end of July. A few facts: 1. The HTML entity for the cents symbol is ¢. 2. I had to Google whether the cent symbol came before or after … The Minäverse On Sale for 99 Cents
A monstrous cumulonimbus storm cloud I took near my bus stop. I had to stop into the store for a bio break before heading home. If I had downed so much water on the ride home, I may have not seen this. The Lord provides.
Some book reviews I’ve left on Goodreads. Kim I’m sure this is an excellent book, if I could understand it. Kipling stuffs it to the gills with so much colloquialisms and British-Indian cultural in-jokes that I may as well be reading Greek upside down and from the back. Much of the humor and significance is … Hella Book Reviews, Part 1
In addition to the Pale Blue Scratch review, Ivana also did an interview with me, about the book, writing in general, and a new book I’m working on (!!!): Where did you get your idea for Pale Blue Scratch? I was toying with the premise of an odd couple-type pair of sleuths trying to track … Interview Up at Diary of Difference
The story below is a work of fiction. A trained actor with an endless parade of stupid ideas. He would voice the most ridiculous, unrewarding ones and immediately criticize them before his friends could. “Here’s one: I’ll transplant to a different part of the country, out of the Valley. No one knows me. I’ll pull … Story: Something Persuasive
Ivana over at the Diary of Difference blog reviewed Pale Blue Scratch: I was lucky enough to be approached by Jay DiNitto himself, and he sent me a copy of his first novel – Pale Blue Scratch (you can read the e-book for free here) in exchange for an honest review. This is a book … Pale Blue Scratch Book Review
Why: 1. haven’t I heard about this until now? 2. does this interest me so much? 3. does Wikipedia have a rinky-dink few sentences about it, when the article itself describes it as “a major turning point in the history of clothing?”
The story below is a work of fiction. Visiting her relatives is her secondmost hated event. They stumble over to her with their ethnic hair and diabetic knees. Their collective scent isn’t unpleasant but borderline inhuman; it triggers her disgust reflex. She leaves when she wants to. Trips to the grocery store are degrees worse, … Story: Despair in Two Parts
I collect and read books because I want to have a few damn things in my life that I don’t have to recharge, restart, reboot, silence, shut down, troubleshoot, buy a cover for, update, upgrade, adjust brightness, adjust volume, adjust notifications, insert an SD card into, clear cache, ignore spam calls on, replace, repair, pay … Photo: Books to Read
When life hands you lemons, you grind them into thirds so they can go with the normal trash. It’ll save yourself a trip to the dump.
I made the Pale Blue Scratch ebook free for download over at Smashwords, and removed it from the Kindle store. Amazon doesn’t give the option to make your ebook free by default, so you have to request that they make it free, and it doesn’t always work. I don’t have the time or energy for … Pale Blue Scratch Ebook Now Free
The story below is a work of fiction. Another semester and another set of students, shining bright like Kubrick tiger eyes. He has enthusiasm for the job despite the contagion protocols of the classroom. They’ve all got superpowers but there’s no defense against the enemies we can’t see.
I hate writing book reviews, but this one may prove to be useful, and perhaps important, in the future. The last time I read The Minäverse, I compared it favorably to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. This was a mistake, not because neither were favorable, but because it bears little to Hitchhiker’s except for … Book Review: The Minäverse by Jill Domschot
Similar to the Primal Energy Bites that I posted a while back, though these ones have a different feel to them. I’d post the original recipe, but as all recipe sites go, there’s way too many ads and scripts running on the page; I don’t want to subject you to that. It crashes my mobile … Recipe: Paleo Vegan Energy Spheres
From Saturday. I was feeling pretty terrible the whole time I was there, due to an oncoming illness, so I didn’t get as many photos as I wanted. It’s a pretty open atmosphere and people are always willing to get photographed but as a strong introvert it takes energy for me to cold approach strangers … Photos: Tekko Con 2018, Pittsburgh
I suppose there are further parallels between the two, but I don’t bother with the news enough to draw them.
This was originally posted on the Radix Fidem forum. I recently read The Cross Examination of Jesus Christ (Randy Singer), about the trial of Jesus under Pontius Pilate, and a few of the milestones that lead up to it. The middle chapters were a mix of Gospel readings, and commentary with personal anecdotes. They were adequate if … Were the Pharisees Hellenized?
Just when I thought everything in music had already been done, this comes along and drowns that idea in an ocean of wasabi. I want to burrow into their discography and nestle there until Shogun is ported to Xbox One (which will never happen). They have another video where they play atop a stratospheric tower, … A Traditional Japanese Rock Metal Nagasaki Tsunami
Add me if you’d like: [email protected] Wife had one that she didn’t really wear any more, so I took up the mantle. I don’t need one, for sure, but it couldn’t hurt.
There’s been more than one philosopher who have posed the hiddenness of God as an argument against His existence. If you’re a strict materialist, it makes sense that you would expect sense data, at the very least, of God to begin a framework of proof for God’s existence. Some skeptics argue that an ideal God … Someone Steal This Book Idea: The Obvious God
