Dreams - Cat

Dreams - Cat

A curious dream that felt more like a memory.  I dreamt of a white cat that accompanied me everywhere, eyes of green and a sanguine languidity to her every motion.  We sat and talked for a long time, of dejection, and fresh fish.  We walked long through a jungle of concrete, abandoned and quiet, where mildew and rain were friends, where the shuffle of gravel and the calls of gulls the symphony of our motions. 

Drabbles - Sword and Glass

A warrior holds a shard of glass and a sword.

The sword to carve a new tomorrow.

And the shard of glass, a memory of yesterday.

Together the only things that might save his soul today.

I often like to say life is a series of meetings, and partings.

Well I believe the cat is officially out of the bag...I have news for those whom care: I got accepted into a design school in Vancouver, which startlingly begins July 1st. All month I've been hurriedly packing up 8 years of my life in Edmonton and preparing for the move. I leave Edmonton this Saturday and I won't be back for probably at least the two years that my program is.

I have a little time the rest of this week if people want to grab a coffee, catch up or otherwise, but I'm rapidly running out of time. Thanks everyone, and I am sure I'll see my friends down the winding road of life.

A vivid dream I remember well, with arms wrapped around my chest I could just barely smell the scent of her.  It was a moment outside myself, as I felt the contact of someone so other and akin to me.

22 Rules of Storytelling - By Emma Coats

From http://io9.com/5916970/the-22-rules-of-storytelling-according-to-pixar

On Twitter, Pixar storyboard artist Emma Coats has compiled nuggets of narrative wisdom she's received working for the animation studio over the years. It's some sage stuff, although there's nothing here about defending yourself from your childhood toys when they inevitably come to life with murder in their hearts. A truly glaring omission.

Don’t go into churches. Technically the rule was a lot longer than that. Don’t go into churches, community halls, schools, gyms, basically anywhere that during the outbreak had been coordinated and repurposed as a treatment centre. Malls could be bad, the university area was bad, there were lots of such places that were a bad idea to get too deep into.

That’s your watch.

Undelivered - Steeple

Undelivered: Steeple



I remember clearly, we were walking alongside one of the tanks, and we heard that nose, that "Ping".  A sniper.  Somewhere.  I looked on ahead and above the town, there was the church, and a steeple.  And the captain, he looks at all of us lying down and he points at me.

"Steeple!"
