This is my Blogzine: a jump back to the baser levels of writing to appreciate the entertainment that goes down easy and with flavor. This is more the dive bar than brasserie of blogs, so it contains serials, narratives, and stories of easily digestible media. Pull up a stool, read my independent press with your cheap beer. You'll find stories of Amsterdam, a love of pulp, horror, and stage with jumps from academia to ice fishing. This is my freewrite. Enjoy and share in the disabstraction.

Happy End of 2008
Eventful times this year, to say the least. In small, personal ways and also in large, global ones. I'm thankful for the home my family is building, I'm thankful for all my time with my beloved Factory Theater, I'm thankful for the first steps and sounds my son is making, and I'm looking toward 2009 with a nervous excitement. Jack Bauer will be back to help ease Anxiety Mondays. We will have a new administration in the United States; right now, I'm profoundly happy for the change and hopeful that the Obama presidency justifies the immense amount of faith invested in it. There's great uncertainty about financial stability, there's many challenges and worries to face, and many good people were lost this year. But the days are getting longer, the temperatures will eventually start rising, and the calendar begins anew. Happy New Year and let's see what comes next.
