“A Small Book of Whimsy” Excerpt

I wrote a book. Its on sale at Amazon, but I want to remove it because its not formatted well, my cover art was done all wrong, and basically I dislike everything I write once I spend a moment to consider how badly it's written. This is the Prologue... that I forgot to place in …

A Crappy Poem – And Okayu Sings

A Crappy Poem – Don’t Read Overwhelmed by love and you walk in and I see you and I cry in my heart because you are there and I am here and we are always together. Overwhelmed by this emptiness when I turn to an empty bed and smell the sheets are losing the scent …

My Little Bird Friend

There is a little mourning dove who has been sitting on my balcony for around two weeks, that I have been feeding and giving water. She's become my little bird friend. There used to be two mourning doves that would sit on my balcony, but they had stopped coming by around a month ago, until …

Musical Love from #HoloEN Debuts and AMAZEMENT

I had to watch all five V-tuber debuts in the last couple of days. I think I owed it to English speakers everywhere. No, haha, I was just curious, and soon I was enthralled by two performances in particular: the rap piece by Mori Calliope, and the smooth city pop of Gawr Gura. I don't …

What Should I Write About Next?

Down the Hololive Rabbit Hole – OkaKoro and such…

Learning Japanese – V-Tuber Style

I don't know Japanese.  My son has a basic ability to understand and read Japanese; in fact, he's been getting really good.  And, he told me why.... He started telling me about V-Tubers and I wasn't sure I'd want to watch anything they produced.  It seemed silly.  Animated people?  What is this, Gorillaz?  (Yes, I …

Down Time, Oney, and A Music Video

How do you spend your free time?  Down time?  Do you need to chill in your comfiest pj's or sweats, eat something you know you might regret, but enjoy it anyway? You need to have that warm and cozy drink - though right now you might need a cold brew because of the crazy high …
