TFMA

TFMA is dead. Long live Bookruptcy. Having exhausted my resources trying to bail out the boat in which TFMA had gradually been sinking (apparently a lost cause, according to my personal experience and my helpful-but-hopeless host), it became clear that a change was needed. That change is Bookruptcy, the website where you find yourself now;…

I’ve had a blog in the works for a while now that requires more time and attention than I am currently willing to give it, so instead you have this marginal, semi-justified excuse instead of something thought-provoking. I’ve been writing. I suppose that much is a given, but I’ve really been writing. At least 2,000…

All right; I know I haven’t posted anything in a short while, even after acknowledging my inconsistency in the last post. This can be attributed to two of my best friends tying the knot up at Patrick’s Point in California, which necessitated more travel since I had been asked to write a small piece to…

For those few who may have been concerned about my near-complete absence from the blog, rest assured that I have not fallen off the face of the earth as reported. I’m still clinging desperately to the edge of it, which as it turns out is somewhere around N 28th and Decatur, not too far past…

Over the last few years I have found myself debating whether or not I have any use for or trust in the concept of eBooks. While anyone can acknowledge that having your books in a digital format saves on shelf space and makes them easier to transport, are there other advantages? Are there other, less…

Finally, I’m south. After much travel, aggravation, inspiration, and diner food consumption, the move is officially over. I’m now a resident of Arlington, Texas, and my feelings about this, while generally positive, are mixed. I’ve had a couple weeks to settle in (I apologize for the lack of updates—it’s been a busy time) and have gotten…

I read this article last night, and though I’ve been meaning to post a blog about the end of my trip to Texas, I wanted to post this now because I found it fascinating. The comments people left under the article were even more fascinating than the article itself, however, and it’s to any number…

I haven’t updated TFMA in some time now, and for that I sincerely apologize. It hasn’t been due to a lack of desire on my part, just a rather extreme deficit of time and energy. I’ve been gearing up for a move to Texas after a lifetime spent in California, and it’s turned out to…

It’s past midnight, I’ve had far too much Chinese food, far too many cigarettes, and am nearly comatose after watching The Jacket. I’m still in a mood to celebrate despite the event being a few days gone now, and I’ll eventually get to why, but bear with me. Also, when this blog turns into a…

2010 is over. I don’t know what exactly to say about it, now that it has passed us by, but I’ll say this: it was long. And it was short. And it was really great, except for the horrible parts. Which sort of made up most of it. I don’t know exactly how all that…
