This is the Lair of the Mind of Riotimus. Reader beware. Tuesday, January 02, 2007. In the mail indeed. In the end, the lovely Elyena and I decided to send WotF a short story trilogy that we called. I'll give you a complete rundown of the incident statistics ( /- 25%). Smackdowns (the pre-Captain): 2. Smackdowns (someone else): 5. Cleaning up the baby: 2. Groupthink (the product of a mob of people) actually leading to something good: 1 (I know you're skeptical, but it could happen). I also sent out ADIS ...

This is the Lair of the Mind of Riotimus. Reader beware. Sunday, December 07, 2008. Friday was my final day with my mega-corporate employer. As I packed up my cube and exited the building I was filled with memories of the seven years I spent with them. One day, a year and some-odd months ago, I was doing inside sales at a location. One of the outside salesmen was near my desk and asked, “What are you doing with that white hat? Or should I say yellow? Because of my previous counter experience I was put on...

This is the Lair of the Mind of Riotimus. Reader beware. Wednesday, January 03, 2007. The Problem of Metallica. Or “Oh yeah, this is my favorite album.” So I was listening to …And Justice for All. And thinking, “Self, this has got to be the greatest album Metallica ever did. IT’S MY FAVORITE.” Me, listening to the down-tuned clean riffage in. And thinking, “Self, this has got to be the greatest album Metallica ever did. IT’S MY FAVORITE.” Me, listening to the first minute of. Off Garage, Inc. And thinkin...

This is the Lair of the Mind of Riotimus. Reader beware. Tuesday, September 24, 2013. Reflections on My Archive. One day in the recent past, I had the realization that I have a blog. It came on me suddenly, like I would imagine some memory would return to an amnesiac, shocking and poignant. I wondered what I had written. I only had the slightest of impressions as if I were catching a glimpse at some previous life. I decided to read back through. I took from those friends, family members, and fellow write...

On the west side of the grocery store a row of parking spaces nestled in between the Old Highway overpass and the wall of the building. After Jack Jackson finished his business in town he headed there to meet some friends. 8220;It’s abo...

This is the Lair of the Mind of Riotimus. Reader beware. Friday, April 15, 2011. C S Lewis Makes Me Cry. But not in a good way. R. The Way it Goes Sometimes. But I know what you mean. Im not a fan either. 11:41 PM, April 17, 2011. I just finished a nearly-two-year project that I started when my dad got sick. It has been painful in many ways. 2:39 PM, April 18, 2011. I have never read any C.S. Lewis. Yep, you heard me. Not a single word. 8:16 PM, April 18, 2011. Youre probably better off that way. :).

This is the Lair of the Mind of Riotimus. Reader beware. Sunday, February 10, 2008. Twenty-Five Albums - Take Them or Leave Them (Hint: Take Them). And Justice for All. 8211; I have addressed the problem, as I see it, with Metallica here. 8211; Forget “Your Body is a Wonderland.” This live album is power-trio blues-rock in the tradition of the Jimi Hendrix Experience or Cream, and is a strong album for any musician with interests in the blues or incredible live performances. Scenes from a Memory. 8211; I...
