A Community of One

I'm reading this Star Wars comic right now, Knights of the Old Republic, and it's really good. Most people, if they want to write, they want to write something revelatory, but this makes me feel like I'd rather write entertaining schlock. If I could learn how to start a story, I'd be half on my way, but I haven't written even a small bit of fiction in a while.

This comic is really good though. I love the games it's based on, as they represent a sector of the Star Wars universe not fitted with the cement shoes of 30 years' baffling, sprawling, and often boring continuity. Hm ... I'm a huge superhero comic reader, so that statement feels hypocritical.

Devouring Greed

Have you ever thrown up and just felt 150% better? I just did. I'd made a late dinner of mediocre tempura (my first time making it,) and two hours later I was thrashing in my bed like I was going to die. After regurgitating a good deal of the meal, I feel even-keeled.

Life is goooooood.
