I have lost my temper

Posted by Brendan on June 29th, 2006 filed in biography, calling bullshit, parenthood

Seriously: today I was [...]

Posted by Brendan on June 27th, 2006 filed in snark

It’s been raining all week in Philadelphia, and the forecast is for more of the same. As I was driving in to the office along the Schuylkill Expressway, I couldn’t help but notice how high the river had grown. Although the surface looked calm, the speed of the water was betrayed as it [...]

I’m sitting at a table at Dahlak, an Ethiopian bar in West Philly. Byron, who helped me with my plumbing, is sitting across from me at a different table. Byron looks like a skinny male version of Della “Touched By A Morbidly Obese Angel” Reese, and sees himself as a bottomless well of [...]

Act 1. Scene I
SCENE I. An urban place.
Thunder and lightning. Enter three disgruntled Lefties.
First Lefty:
When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
Second Lefty:

First Lefty:

Brendan Calling is now up, but I haven’t blogged there yet because I don’t understand wordpress.

Test

Posted by Chris on June 22nd, 2006 filed in meta

I had once intended to write an entire novel while having to urinate very badly. I wanted to see how that need affected the style and tempo of my work. I had found, for instance, that when I’m writing about a character who’s in a Ph.D. program and I don’t have to urinate badly, I’ll [...]
