Ahoy, peeps! Checking in on a Sunday evening – again – after the madness of another busy-but-fun weekend. I took Amelia for her first trip to the world-renowned (seriously!) Indianapolis Children’s Museum, and it was awesome! Not only did she have a great time (and gets free admission until she turns 2, whoo-hoo!), I had [...]

Howdy-ho, neighborinos! I want to devote this entry to two exciting things that happened yesterday, in order: we had Amelia’s first birthday party, and I was nominated for multiple Dead Letter Awards! First, the party: my little angel is turning 1 year old tomorrow, Valentine’s Day, and we had her first birthday party yesterday. It [...]
We’re either alive or a lie; I’m done with the middle ground.

November 30, 2009: it was exactly one year ago today that my first writings saw the professionally-printed page. My first story, a 4000-word, quirky little end-of-the-world tale entitled “The Nuances of Disassembly” (still probably my favorite title I’ve ever came up with), began what can only be described as a whirlwind year of activity for [...]
Manipulation’s on my mind; expectations will be defined or defied.

I had big plans, man. I had huge dreams. Dreams of writing a monster blog entry this week, to tell you all about the amazing 2010 I have had. It was going to be a fun-filled retrospective, all about welcoming my first daughter on Valentine’s Day, about how great it’s been to watch her grow, [...]
Your life is a cannibal, and I’m afraid I won’t get out alive.
Posted: November 6, 2010 in About my writings, Ameli(a)orationWell, I’m definitely not Backstreet, but I am back, all right! I can’t believe it’s been almost five months since my last blog post. Insert standard “where does the time go” rhetoric here. Fortunately, I have been given a way to help make sure that I stay more routinely involved in posting blog entries, thanks [...]
The mannequins attack, but nobody’s looking that bothered…

Well, my free time as a new Dad has been fairly minimal, but I suppose that was to be expected, wasn’t it? Between helping Amelia during her formative first few months in the world, taking a new position at work, and all the extracirriculars that I try to squeeze in to my life (more on [...]
I never thought I’d end up playing straight man to a tin can.

I’ve been told that, with a brand-new little one and all, I’m going to have to start watching less zombie and horror movies and more “family-friendly” fare. While I have no problem watching the “G’ and “PG” rated stuff with the growing baby girl, I definitely do not subscribe to the tenet that my scary [...]

Okay, time to write a blog post, for a couple of good reasons: Amelia has fallen asleep on my legs, and I dare not move lest I wake her and incur the wrath of the Late-Night Wiggles. Soooo, I won’t be heading to bed any time soon. I seem to have hit a case of [...]
What an absolute whirlwind that last week has been! As most of you know by now, my daughter, Amelia Margaret, was born at 12:05am on Sunday, February 14th, at a complete surprise to her mother and I, as she was six weeks early. I have sat down to attempt to write this blog entry a [...]
