Dezrah Writes Love On His Arms

Here’s what I did instead of a blog today:

Please share.

NaNoWriMo 2009 – Dezrah Edition

     Here we go, the first entry in my own little version of NaNoWriMo. I’ve tried (and failed) at writing a novel for NaNoWriMo on at least 3 separate occasions. This is due mostly to a) my pathological inability to finish anything I start and b) my unremarkable inability to write convincing dialogue. I won’t [...]

Bad Times- Presidents of the United States of America

I just heard this song for the first time this weekend, and it affected me in a real way. I thought I’d share it with all of you:

Lyrics:
1, 2, 3, 4
You never had rabies
You never gained weight
You never drank poison
You watched what you ate
You never came home with a terrible scar

“Freak School” announced!

Skeptics, magicians, fellow freaks and geeks, I’m calling out to you all. TAM7 is coming up, and it looks like the financing I thought I would have isn’t going to work out after all. I am bummed, but optimistic. Bummed because this was going to be my first trip to TAM and it looks like [...]

250 things about me.

I’ve gotten the same “tag” that most of you have gotten. The “tag” asking you to write 25 random things about yourself. A list of 25 things is a cute little excercise, but not truly narcissistic enough for someone like me. Don’t believe it? I’m going to prove my self-absorption by posting 250 rambling, semi-coherent [...]
