Further Confusion 2019 is this weekend, and every year it sneaks up on me just like this. Lulled into a false sense of normalcy by the end of the holiday season, I start to get into a pretty good groove when suddenly the third weekend of January taps me on the shoulder to remind me … Continue reading Further Confusion 2019

The first major convention of the year will be held at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center starting this Thursday, January 11th and closing down on Monday, January 15th after five days of furry fun.

(Fandom) My Mental Health Game Plan for FC 2017
Further Confusion 2017 begins tomorrow! I'll likely be in downtown San Jose Thursday evening registering at con because I completely spaced on pre-registering like some kind of silly guy -- hopefully the wait won't be too terribly long!

(Personal) What Happened in January?
January 2016 was an extraordinarily busy month; everything just took off like a rocket, and it was all that I could do to hold on.

(Personal) A Glance Back, A Stare Forward
Further Confusion 2016 is in the books, and I for one am quite glad it's over. Not because the convention was terrible (it wasn't) or because there's something great on the horizon (but there is), but mostly because I have this small hoard of memories to treasure and sift through for the next few months. … Continue reading (Personal) A Glance Back, A Stare Forward

Further Confusion 2016!
Folks, it's that time again -- the time when downtown San Jose is suddenly flooded with bizarre people descending onto the Convention Center to engage their weird hobby. The volleyball girls are back! Oh, and also Further Confusion is coming up this weekend. Of course I'll be there -- just look for the portly black … Continue reading Further Confusion 2016!
January 2013 Goals: How Did I Do?
At the beginning of this month, I set a pretty ambitious set of goals for myself. I had planned to write or rewrite five short stories -- two stories for friends to try out a commission scheme I had dreamed up, and a rewrite of three 'fluff' short stories that I felt I could do … Continue reading January 2013 Goals: How Did I Do?
