I’m a Cat Trapped in a Dog’s Body – Thoughts from September 24 and October 8, 2023
September 24, 2023 Flourishing in my own filth is the first thing I typed for this Thoughts paper. Where do I go from there? There’s only one place to go. I’m going where I always go. Here we are in my usual talk of wondering when the world is going to stop being so predictable.…

Christmas Games – Thoughts from December 20 and 21, 2022
December 20, 2022 Patti came to work with me today. On the way, we talked the whole time. Sometimes we put on a podcast and listen to that, but we were both Chatty Cathies and never really listened to anything but each other. It’s good to know that after 25 years of marriage we can…

Brian Explains Toys – Thoughts from December 25, 2010

Brian Explains Boredom and Change – Thoughts from October 15 and 22
October 15, 2010 Brian Explains: Boredom Some people have a hard time being alone. I am not one of those people. I can be alone for hours and I always find something to do. The hardest part for me is deciding what to do. I guess this makes this an anti-explanation of boredom, but I…

I’m Working on It – Thoughts from May 11 and 19, 2004
May 11, 2004 We had my mom over for Mother’s Day on, strangely enough, Mother’s Day this weekend. Our newly finished kitchen can be used to make shrimp, etc. We also had a Mother’s Day celebration at Patti’s mom’s house. I nerded it up with “the boys” most of the time. We were looking at…

Longing to Create Something in the World – Thoughts from April 12, 2004
Far from being happy about life, I sit. This sentiment has worn me down to a fine point. I hate the world and want it to bleed. I want to bleed. It’s only in typing these words that I realize I have not expressed the last sentence except to myself. Don’t worry. You can kill…

Valentine’s Day – Thoughts from February 17, 2004
I have a thought. Well, that’s good, Brian, because this is the place for such things, being as this is the Thoughts 2/17/04 paper. Let’s go! Okay! Oh yeah, this is 2004. This is my first Thoughts paper for 2004. This is not to be confused with my first thought of 2004. 2003, I hardly…

Bad Neighbors – Thoughts from February 27 and March 18, 2003
February 27, 2003 I’m almost done with my Storyboarding class. It wasn’t exactly like I thought it was going to be. It hasn’t been bad; it just hasn’t been as creative as I had hoped. We’re doing two scenes from Kim Possible, a show John, the instructor, works on. One is a talking heads scene…
