Last night, after our show, we played a song for a couple of Ike refugees. One of them was wrote for Billboard Magazine for 15 years or so. When the song was finished, he had that look on his face. I went up to him, and he told me how good our sound was. With […]

If ____ Wins, I’m Moving to ____!
It’s official. I’ve now heard people on both sides of the political arena say if their candidate doesn’t win then they are moving to another country. I think it’s absurd to even say jokingly. But then I like satirizing the absurd, so I thought of a fun game to make fun of all candidates. Yup. […]
I Love Making Up Words
I was reading a story I wrote a long time ago. I think I posted it in my LJ a while back. Don’t remember where. I was re-reading it tonight and saw another word that was listed as a “misspelling”. But what’s a misspelling if you’re just having fun with the English language, AND it […]
Dream the Impossible
I must confess that I don’t believe in the word “impossible”. It’s my Amway upbringing. I have a bad habit. Every time someone starts telling me what they dream about doing, I begin telling them how they can make it happen. I know it’s just a dream. Some people like separating dreams from reality. I’m […]
Political Cynicism
When it comes to politics, I’m a cynic. For the most part, I know who I want to vote for in the next election. What is disturbing to me is the lies the candidates are telling to sell their points. Recently, I started reading The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris. In it, Timothy tells […]
Be On Time
I was reading Seth Godin’s latest blog on Time, and how it is “the #1 most overlooked secret of marketing”. I’m not sure where my sense of timeliness came from. In the 10th grade, I won $100 because I was the only person with a perfect attendance. I never skipped on classes. Maybe it goes […]
Marc Weeklies: Everything’s Better with Pirates
My body is so out of whack. Acupuncture really is fascinating. I never thought much about the way things affect my body. I’m not even sure what is doing what to me, but I have felt physically off since DragonCon… not sick… just off. Fortunately, I am taking good care of myself with lots of […]
DragonCon 2008
This was, strangely enough, one of my most-fun years at DragonCon. I think it had a to do with the fact that Brobdingnagian Bards were such late additions. We were accepted only two weeks before the show opened. However, Andrew and I already decided we would attend the con nonetheless. We expected it to be […]
Ren Fest Awards Update
Yes. You WILL notice there are some missing categories this year in the Renaissance Festival Awards. I cut down some of them due to time constraints and redundancy. I could probably cut out a couple more, but should’ve spent more time thinking about what else to cut before starting voting. Oh well… In any case, […]
