Why I Quit Facebook(for less than a month)

cae — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:30:12 +0000

I’ve long had a love/hate relationship with the internet. When I find some part of it inspiring or useful in a constructive fashion, I love it. When I find myself just sopping up its fatty gravy, I hate it. The problem is realizing which is which while online … My first introduction to something even [...]

#35 At the Bunkers

Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend, WA. Usually, I hate graffiti. In that vein, I’m not all that thrilled with this – it’s not about the art, it’s about the placement. I have the same issue with tattoos. In any case, I liked the execution of this, if not the location of the canvas.

I Never Graduated …

I never graduated from preschool. I never graduated from kindergarten. I didn’t graduate from any of the elementary school grades. Back when and where I went to school, after your sixth grade year, you attended “junior high school,” not “middle school.” I made the transition from grade school to junior high but … I didn’t [...]

The Corey

A couple of years back, a friend sent me a picture message on my phone of the top of a fire hydrant that had “The Corey” cast in relief upon it. I was intrigued. I’d never seen or heard of such a thing. He’s sent me an image of another, since. This last weekend, I [...]

The Worms

“Esther discovers a worm on an old, hated quilt … and then the world.” The Worms first entered into what you and I would think of as reality through a quasar catalogued as 3C 279. Quasar 3C 279 does not exist for this purpose nor had it been used so prior; it was just [...]

Lost and Foundry – Pt. 2 I, Patineur

cae — Mon, 27 May 2013 11:30:59 +0000

(Part 1 of “Lost and Foundry” can be found here) The longer I worked at the foundry, the farther I rose up in ranks – whether I wanted to or not – and it wasn’t just because of my abilities. First there was the appointment to head of Monument Sprue, a change that mainly involved [...]

#34 – Jimbo, Dokuro, & Haino

cae — Thu, 23 May 2013 11:30:25 +0000

My friend, Jim, nabbed me this cool, old, glass, skull snow-globe thing and brought it up on one of his infrequent but always welcome visits. It had long since emptied itself of water and the glitter inside had melted together at some point, the plastic confetti had clumped. I don’t know if it was from [...]

Lost and Foundry – Pt. 1 All Sprued Up

cae — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:30:24 +0000

In the mid 90’s I found myself in a very precarious position: the husband in a married team of new parents, unexpectedly locked out of their business by their silent partners for suspicion of embezzlement. While this presents a story all on its own, suffice it to say that our business partner’s accusations were eventually [...]

#33 – Citipati Thangka

Citipati (“two skeletons – charnel lords) In Tibetan Buddhism, the Citipati, a pair of intertwined, ecstatically dancing, male and female skeletons, are ascetics who were so lost in meditation that they they were robbed and beheaded by a thief without ever coming out of their trance. Their symbol is meant to represent both the eternal [...]
