I watched a lot of TV, I did a lot of laundry, caught up with email and talked to some friends. I was having a great day! Just what I needed. A little R&R and some "me time" to round out the weekend. I guess I'm becoming a little domesticated but doing laundry and other menial jobs really sets my mind at ease lately. I am *not* looking forward to next week....
What is the nature of fantasy? Is the landscape of the imagination populated with only those erotic ghosts so far beyond the realms of the day to day that we become submerged in our own romantic idiom? Or does the frisson come from the knowledge that the fantasy could actually be reality and is just tantalisingly beyond the outstretched finger tips? I know w...

They nurse each other through broken hearts and listen to the other's lustful adventures, eventually creating their own mutual experiences. A sensual woman of 24, Iris indulges her erotic and epicurean tastes, and she has the intelle...
It's been a long night, the stench of beer, sweat and merriment conquers the atmosphere. Avalanches of white foam cascade down onto the dance floor creating a blanket of glistening white amongst the rabble of the dancers. Traith keeps himself secluded from the proverbial herd, preferring his position propped up against the corner of the Sea gate bar. His spo...
"I think I'm going to go take a bath," I say, arching my back and stretching my arms over my head. The comment rouses my sleepy companion, Bane, from his spot on the couch. "...Hmm?" He opens his eyes and sits up, looking around. "What did you say?" "I said, I'm going to go take a bath. Go back to sleep, Bane. Sorry I woke you." I laugh and walk off to the...
Nap after school today. I dreamt like this: I'm at Lizzie's house. She's sitting there in her stupid little chair in the living room and she's just annoying me. Just babbling on about any such shit and it's really on my nerves, and not because she's an annoying person. She is, of course, believe you fucking me, but it's because I can see myself in her. I ke...
Most people would think travelling the world would be exciting, you've done it for so long you can only think of it as boring..... Another flight another, crowded airport, another meeting, another identical hotel! You sometimes even lose track of which country you're in, this it you've returned to England and you're able to use the flat you own in London, af...
It's a warm spring evening on the beach. Not a sun-bleached, golden California strand, but a mottled grey Pacific Northwest beach—the silvery sand is mixed with galaxies of small rocks and stones, polished round and smooth by countless years of tumbling in the sleepless cold water. Large driftwood logs, stranded at some long-past high tide, form a palisade b...
I used to visit them occasionally. They were close family friends, and were warm folks. I do not know exactly when, but slowly I started getting attracted towards Jia. Her looks, her smile and her conversation, everything would make my heart melt for her. I wonder if she knew it at all that I was dying to be close to her, physically. After each visit, my ye...
Your Friendly Neighborhood Handyman, which was the heading on the fliers I had placed under the wipers of probably 100 cars over the past few weeks. I had been a trained tradesman for my entire adult life, and thus well qualified. I wrote that I was 62 and transitioning into retirement, yet wanting to stay somewhat busy, giving me reason to shower, dress and...
