For the curious, my long absence has come largely from the fact that I did indeed finish my classes, after which I relocated back home to California. I managed to keep myself going through that grueling hardware class, and ended my final semester of the two years I spent at TCC with a 4.0, which…

So it’s been a good while since I’ve made an update, and I apologize for that. In the last few months, school has gone from interesting to abysmal, and most of my free time has been devoted to language study. When I first went to college over a decade ago, it was with the desire…

Amid the flurry of life-related craziness, school worries, and language study, I have somehow still managed to find time for two things: videogames and publishing fiction. I’ve got two new ones for you today. As of today you can find me in Pantheon’s new anthology Gaia: Shadow and Breath and the first issue of Despumation.…

As some of you may know, I’ve recently returned to studying Japanese.

Hello, Stress. I haven’t missed you, because you never go away long enough to be missed. Thankfully, my heart is still feeling well, despite complications with the drugs they have me on, but that leaves me more time to focus on mundane stresses. School is mostly busywork this semester with no real challenges, I’ve been…

Sometimes I need a reminder as regards not just the beauty of the world, but the beauty of its tapestry, the spun consequence of those things we use the inadequacy of the English language to describe: darkness and light, mortality and the spirit. (Dress them up in fancier terms and they suffer no less for…

I don’t relish having to come here and make the following post, in part because I don’t like acknowledging—much less discussing—my physical issues. I don’t suppose this makes for the most compelling of blog posts, either. But if I’m honest, the real reason for my reticence is that I don’t want to think about all…
