I know Hollywood, and sometimes I write about it. Producing beer commercials was some of the most fun I ever had as a producer.

“Cutler had a lighter, quieter, sparser approach to the weird, macabre and illogical than the majority of surrealists. The darkness is transmuted into mischief and the savagery into play. There is melancholy in some of the poems, even despair, but it tends to be counterbalanced by the charm and daftness.”
—Rhys Hughes on the sublime daftness of Ivor Cutler

If a lion attacks
Stoop swiftly
Pick up two medium sized rock stones
And insert them deftly up his nostrils…

As promised, 2026 will be different.
Due to the declining state of the writing biz and the country, I will be practicing creative privacy.
I will not be selling anymore new fiction.

(That'll make sense when you listen!)
Speaking of movies, my current favorite might be Two Plains and a Fancy https://vimeo.com/321503927
It's a Western comedy for people who are kind of woo-woo for #geology.
Asemic ‘Pataphysics ~ A Visual Primer O/0
The vectors of irony transcribe the shadows of doubt.
Still, over the years, many light-limbo hypotheses have combined the interstellar and supernova hypotheses, resulting in a variety of phenomena, including destructive bones.
Moreover, metacognitive experiences, such as the singularity, entered the realm of irony next to a tango of affordability and uncertainty. In other words, these categories revealed an internal pathological linguistic simulation of electron polemics.
