Run, Runner! This film was beginning pre-production just as I arrived on this world, on the first day of March. When it was released, I was walking and just starting to run. Later on, in my early con-going experiences, I heard a story about a time when DC's SWAT team was called into a SF… Continue reading It’s an Older Joke, But It Checks Out

Anger is an Energy
"Stay angry, little Meg," Mrs. Whatsit whispered. "You will need all your anger now." For those who don't recognize it, this is from Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle In Time. It's an important thing to hear, especially for the young (alas, I'm no longer in that group), and for women, and people of color. Too often,… Continue reading Anger is an Energy
So I Turned Myself to Face Me
First, because he caught the sentiment in a bottle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbnJo88kuP8 Another year has clicked away. This one starts with a few changes for me. But there's one, regarding my writing, I have to announce now. As far as the IRS is concerned, I am a freelance writer. Yep. Self-employment taxes start if you earn $400… Continue reading So I Turned Myself to Face Me
The Last Jedi: A few thoughts
Artwork by the amazing Phil Noto. Seriously, this man is amazing. Just to throw out my bona fides regarding Star Wars: when I was a kid, my family would find me under the table with my original Kenner action figures. Everyone would ask me what I was doing and I'd say, "I'm off with Luke… Continue reading The Last Jedi: A few thoughts
Have Yourself An Upgraded Christmas
Once again, I reach a time of year where I'm reflective. Luckily, the day job has been doing its level best to keep me busy, making sure all my energy is spent there and not on frivolities like everything else in the world. But, moments of introspection still creep into my head. I need to… Continue reading Have Yourself An Upgraded Christmas
In the Heat of the Sun: Desert Noir
Film noir. Two words which conjure images of unshaven men in fedoras, dangerous women in evening dresses, rain-slicked back alleys in America's cities, and... prospectors in California mining towns? And yet, I'm starting to find the arid lands outside of the great noir settings hold just as many people making bad decisions in a desperate… Continue reading In the Heat of the Sun: Desert Noir
The Ticking Clock
The Ticking Clock By Andrija Popovic (C) 2017 Andrija Popovic 4:19 AM Eastern Time. Every morning, an hour and a half before his alarm was set to go off, he awoke. His eyes snapped open. He took a deep breath, almost gasping. Reaching out, he touched his snoring wife's form to one side, and his… Continue reading The Ticking Clock
It Was A Day
It Was A Day by Andrija Popovic (c) 2017 Andrija Popovic I'd just returned home and downloaded into my standard body when Theta pinged my personal network. "Hey? You centered yet?" "Gimme a bit. I'm still synching." My work body, designed for zero-G work, rested comfortably in the wall transfer closet. I shook the pins… Continue reading It Was A Day
Armored Trooper VOTOMS – “Orange Crush”
So, I made an Anime Music Video for Armored Trooper VOTOMS set to R.E.M's "Orange Crush." Update: Click on the Red Shoulders to watch...
Babooshka & Delirium’s Mistress at Tea
Often, when I write, it's downstairs on the couch. Usually there's a cat attempting to knock my iPad out of its Qwertkey keyboard. Often there's sun spilling through the blinds. But always there's something playing on YouTube. Usually, it's music. Today, it was about music. I threw on a 2014 BBC documentary on Kate Bush… Continue reading Babooshka & Delirium’s Mistress at Tea
