Writing Books Reading http://bibliomancy.blogdrive.com/archive/26.html Mon, 30 Oct 2006 05:06:58 GMT I finally decided to get around to posting the second batch of my writing for subter.com, as it is no longer available archived there. We are up and running again in a new form, stop on by to see what's what. As always, the new issue will be up on the 2nd of the month. Happy Halloween! http://bibliomancy.blogdrive.com/comments?id=26 http://bibliomancy.blogdrive.com/archive/25.html Mon, 30 Oct 2006 05:06:16 GMT Falling Back on the Familiar… By the fifth of each month, I’m faced with the challenge of thinking of something new to write about. Then, after deciding on my topic, I let it mull around in my head for a couple of weeks, until suddenly my deadline is nearly upon me and I find I must spit out something of interest. So far, I think I’ve been pretty successful. Even if I do tend to procrastinate, I enjoy the process and the outcome a great deal. I love the feeling that my mind is working away to craft an interesting combination of letters and words, and when the time is right my...

Then you, my friend, are a prime candidate for the fairly new sport of Geocaching. Perhaps the treasure you’ll find really isn’t very valuable, but the experience and exercise you’ll get is. What is Geocaching? Someone hides a cache and logs the coordinates onto the website Geocaching.com. You visit the site and make note of the coordinates, follow them with your GPS, and look around until you find the cache. It’s as simple as that. ...

March is now upon us, and that can only mean one thing – time to gear up for St. Patrick’s Day! If you’re of Irish descent, there’s no question that you’ve been looking forward to this day since last March 18th. If you’re not Irish, at least you can pretend to be on the 17th. St. Patrick’s Day is a chance for everyone to tip back a Guinness, eat some corned beef and cabbage, wear green, and most importantly listen to some of the world’s finest music. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we are blessed with one of the best Celtic punk bands you’ll ever have...

Just look at some of the most popular things in American culture today. Millions of people live and breathe for NASCAR – a “sport” in which people drive supercharged automobiles in circles for hours, burning up the earth’s dwindling resources at a breakneck pace. Recently, Texas Hold‘em Poker has become all the rage. Professional card sharks meet for a battle of wits, bluffing skills, and fancy mirrored sunglasses to see who will walk away with exorbitant sums of money for a...

Every so often, we read or see something that opens our eyes to the wider world. Lately I’ve been reading a book that really got me thinking. Not like that’s an unusual thing, but I started thinking in some different directions than I most usually do. Have you ever stopped to consider how different other people’s life experiences are from your own? More often than not, it’s easy to be caught up in our own doings and limit our focus to the world closest to us. Sure, we watch the news or read the newspapers, and have a...

There will be several here in the near future, and the zine is up and running again after a short (much needed for everyone) hiatus. Starting with this article, my column was called Secrets of the Broken Angel. Now it has no title, I just write. Enjoy! Just the other day I opened a fortune cookie to find the following message ~ You will make many changes before settling satisfactorily I thought it quite fitting, considering my plan to write about change for the first issue of the newly reincarnated...

I'll be reincarnated in another form beginning in February of 2006. See you then! The Internet reminds me of a giant loose-leaf notebook, with billions of pages. Every day new pages are added to the notebook, and old pages fall out. When you open the notebook you might find an old favorite, maybe a random oddity or gem, or even something horrible. Occasionally you find that one of your favorite pages has fallen out, never to be seen again. Some of the pages cross-reference other pages, sending you...

It worked!!! http://bibliomancy.blogdrive.com/comments?id=17
