Untitled Pretention Pontificated by a Passive Voice June 22, 2006
Every journey needs a theme song. This is the one for my "Clarion My Wayward Son" podcast, with more than enough literary jokes to get a prospective student through the six week Clarion workshop. Was also included in a 2006 podcast episode of Mur Lafferty's "I Should Be Writing" while I was at Clarion.

A Star Wars parody-song, exploring the heart and soul (or lack of) of Jabba the Hutt. Slugs have feelings too. Last heard in RealAudio G2 on my old Star Wars fanboy page ("The Emperor's New Clothes"). Written and recorded in 1998, when we were wee undergrands, and before the prequels came out, creating continuity-inconsistencies with this song.

Remember when the infamous "blue screen of death" was from your Nintendo Entertainment System and not from Windows? One of the ways I made money for college was buying "broken" Nintendo systems, cleaning them up, and selling them at a small profit. When that proved too time consuming (and pathetic on a per-hour wage basis), I started selling these instructions about how to fix them up. And now I just give the instructions away, because that wasn't so profitable either.It doesn't take any knowhow of consumer electronics. It just takes getting rid of all the dust. Here's how to get your Nintendo Entertainment System and game cartridges working again. Please excuse dated references and, more importantly, please note that I no longer keep around any Nintendo products, so I probably won't be updating these cleaning instructions again.

Guess they call it a "blog" now, but that's such a blog-ugly word. It just sticks in your throat like a blog up your blog, you know? But...I've been doing this thing since November 1998: an online journal, which has evolved over the years from a pseudo-writing-log to essays and reflections on creative life to whatever it is now.
