in which there is something like resolve

  Resolutions are bullshit. Okay, maybe they work for you, but they only half- work for me. Every year, my Resolution Number One is “Don’t Die” and so far I am acing that. But when it comes to going to the gym four times a week, swearing less, taking underwater ballistic ballroom basket- weaving lessons [...]

in which there is an ending, a beginning, and a new adventure

The news is true: The Sanguine Gryphon is disbanding. In January 2012, Cephalopod Yarns is beginning. I’m spending tonight caught between two places, in limbo between 2.5 years of hard work and a future of new adventures. I don’t know what to say tonight. This is hard, because it is both an end and a [...]

in which there is disclosure

To be honest: I’ve been avoiding you. It’s been a long and challenging few months; challenging in a mostly positive way, but stress is still stress, and I haven’t had the words to really articulate what I’ve been experiencing.
