 Howdy. I'm an unapologetic nerd, amongst other things. I'm a teacher, illustrator, writer, gamer, comic reader, dad and husband (no particular order). All, or at least most, of my blogs should fit into one of those categories.

• Teacher •

I actually said the phrase "okay everybody, look at the dancing squid" today. Yes, that sounds dirty, but it wasn't a euphamism or anything - an actual dancing squid was involved (an illustration of one, anyway. Real ones are too inky).

I love my job, especially on days I can say things like that.

• Writer •

I posted a new story to my website, The House of Usher, called Gingerbread. Check it out if you have a chance.

• Comics •

Was talking to my friend Tom today, and we were admiring the comics of the 80 nostalgia boom. I suggested making a comic based on the 70s "Time for Timer" cartoon shorts that were supposed to be somehow public service messages, but instead caused millions of children worldwide to carve square pieces of cheese into little circles.



• Husband •

We have a guinea pig (after buying it, found out it wasn't from Guinea, wasn't a pig. What a rip.) Hopefully it doesn't lead to problems like this parrot did.

• Gamer •

Oh my. Bought World of Warcraft. Thought I didn't have any spare time before now. I'd quit playing, but, y'know, Roger my dwarf hunter is only 11th level…

Sigh. My wife now thinks I have yet another obsession.

She's right.

'Night all

Hello! By orders of Mr. Terwilligher I am giving you many eprops. Plus, I'm a crazy eproper.....so you were probably bound to get some from me eventually. Thats kind of creepy, sounds like its a virus or something. Anyway, any friend of his is a friend of mine. Actually I take that back, but you seem nice enough.

Holy mother of all evil time wasters, how did you stop playing WoW long enough to write anything? Also, hi. That one guy sent me.

dammit, should've known the "hanker" comment would've been taken.  I can still say "when your ten gallon hat's feelin' five gallon flat..."  but it's not the same, is it?

I saw a post below this one, so I don't know if it's too late to say "welcome to Xanga," but welcome anyway.  I want more dancing squid posts if you're taking orders.

it appears you don't really need an eprop or a comment, since you've already got more than i ever got upon first starting xanga.

Thanks to everybody who posted. I am indeed new to Xanga posting. Kudos to terwilligher for pointing people this way. Hope you enjoy this, and future, inane ramblings.
