Check out this beautiful DM Silhouette poster compliments of Nicolas Bannister, created for super fan Chris Kwak.  If I were ever to do a Dark Matter comic book, he's the only artist I would do it with. Man, social media grows increasingly tiresome.  I'd drop facebook if not for the fact that doing so would…

Thanks to everyone who offered up instances of their experience with rude and/or embarrassing behavior at meetings.  This could all be fodder for a new series.  Keep 'em coming!

Walk-ready! Flower power. Reacting to the sound of that treat in your pocket. Who's the pretty girl?

Akemi's artwork featuring many of the pugs she follows on instagram.  Trying to convince to do a book. Okay.  I've limited myself to two desserts a day (not including chocolate which, of course, can be enjoyed freely throughout) and I already feel more energetic.  I don't believe I've lost any weight yet, but I only…

My attempts to secure the first dose of a vaccine have proven fruitless.  I've checked out two different sites offering appointments at a few of the clinics in the area.  One helpfully informs me that there are no appointment slots available.  The other unhelpfully doesn't even offer me the opportunity to proceed past the "choose…
