Oct 5, 2023: Places I Want to Visit in Tbilisi Before I Leave


Pepperboy – Tbilisi, Georgia – 1:40pm So, I received the news that I’m pretty much accepted into stunt school for the 2024 intake; I just need to do a video call to finalize the details, ask/answer any questions, and sign a contract. Which means… I’m moving to Norway next year! Wow, let that sink in. […]

Oct 4, 2023: I’m Genuinely Happier Single Than In a Relationship


My Humble Abode – Tbilisi, Georgia – 10:55pm So, what prompted this topic, that title?

Sept 20, 2023: Dribble, drabble


Today’s short fiction mission: “Your goal as a writer is to give your characters goals and then prevent them from reaching those goals. The goal is to be mean.” -Mary Robinette Kowal I watched a short lecture by the science fiction author (and puppeteer!) Mary Robinette Kowal. She breaks down the key difference between novels […]
