Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
They say that virtue is its own reward. Well bad behavior tends to be self punishing. Ate badly. Probably could have gotten away with one or two bad meals. Five bad meals later and I put some weight back on. Edged just back over that obscenity deleted threshold again. But we won't be there long.... Continue Reading →
Eastern Promises (2007) - This is one of those movies I'm "supposed" to like. It's directed by David Cronenberg, the critics generally love it, the movie won a couple minor awards, received several larger award nominations including a Best Actor Oscar nod for Viggo Mortensen. It didn't make a huge amount of money but enough... Continue Reading →

For me a critic's opinions are worth very little if I don't understand where they find their foundation. Some of my most reliable critics are the ones with whom... Continue Reading →

Spinning - Michael Baron (2011 - The Story Plant) When I flipped this one open and saw the author being compared to Nicholas Sparks I almost closed it again. No insult intended to Mr. Sparks or his legions of readers. Just not my cup of tea. But I was between books and really needed something... Continue Reading →
Sigh. So I guess I should be encouraged. I survived a week surrounded by Easter candy (which I ate, let's be honest) and it's been a rather down week emotionally for me. And despite that I didn't gain a pound. At the same time I didn't lose any either. I keep hoping to get through... Continue Reading →
