Tonight (tomorrow morning, technically), book 6 of Rowling’s Potter epic is released. I’ve heard that some people released early today and that many are taking this information quite badly. Amy and I will be at Chapter 11 books in Gainesville for some hoopla surrounding this event. We’re taking care of pictures, and getting a copy… Continue reading Book 6 of the Harry Potter Saga

No Surprise to the Scientologists
village voice \ Disinformation \ Mystery Scientology Theater The ominous tagline in early trailers for the alien invasion blockbuster War of the Worlds was "They’re Already Here" – but any learned Scientologist could have told you that long ago. As you may have heard, WOTW star Tom Cruise is a 20-year veteran of the Church… Continue reading No Surprise to the Scientologists
Blue Nails
I was supposed to have gone to the gay pride parade in Atlanta to shoot a video for one of the food vendors. A friend asked me to come make a commercial for him while he was there, though we never got our plan straightened out in time. I has told several people at work… Continue reading Blue Nails
Good Morning, Sunday
As I write this, I’m winding down to sleep after a strenuous day. I played in Athens today at Kidsfest as mentioned previously. Although no longer or hotter than last year, we were in greater demand this year. We played almost 5 hours continuously. That’s a lot of skin slapping, and we were all beat.… Continue reading Good Morning, Sunday
Happy Father’s Day (cont.)
When I finally got around to a time that I could possibly finish up this post, it was too late. Father’s Day turned out to be exhausting. I did get to play a video game for about 20 minutes. Balthazar and I played “Knights of the Old Republic” on the XBOX – well, Balthazar played… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day (cont.)
Happy Father’s Day
What does a dad do on Father’s Day? My first inclination was to shirk all responsiblity and play games all day. I’m thinking that this is in stark contrast to the role of “father,” so how could I spend “Father’s Day” as a bachelor? So I spend the day as super-dad instead. So far, I’ve… Continue reading Happy Father’s Day
Population Limiters in Effect
I read Darren’s comments on an article regarding the cancer-causing agents in red meat. Not that anyone has said there are carcinogens in steak, but there seems to be some sort of accusatory game going on. I’m neither a vegetarian nor a carnivore, but rather what humans were meant to be; omnivores. Darren is too,… Continue reading Population Limiters in Effect
**Censored**
I’m involved in a comment thread with another Flickr user involving the appropriateness of an image I’m displaying for all the world to see. Being a father and an artist, my perspective is somewhat jaded on the issue. As compared to an advertisement strategy of Calvin Klein’s where young children are poised in their underwear,… Continue reading **Censored**
Wernk Graaar Eurrrrr!
I’m headed out to play Chewbacca! I haven’t worked on my noises as much as I should, but I was getting funny looks at the office when I tried. At any rate, perhaps the spirit of Wookies will infuse my voice when I’m in full gear. It’s going to be fun – time to scare… Continue reading Wernk Graaar Eurrrrr!

Yang is our Great Pyrenees who came to us by way of Raven’s death a few months ago. She shares many characteristics with Raven. Some are exact opposites, while others are very similar. The opposing qualities we toss off to the fact that she is Yang, while Raven was the Yin. One such similar trait… Continue reading Protein Morsel
