Tomorrow's Problems Created Today Solved Yesterday

About Me

I write ultra violence and science fiction. I'm very occasionally paid very little for the SF and never for the UV. I generally earn money by mixing drinks for the bourgeoisie.I keep a blog at The Grumpy OwlI also have a menagerie full of winged apes, lion-headed ostriches, gryphon-headed eagles and other bizarre curiosities that will excite the imagination and purge the spleen. But I never show this to anyone as it upsets the creatures and turns them totally off their pickled eggs.

My Interests

Utterly destroying the world and cute lil' kitty cats.

Television:

I don't care for television. I have one but it doesn't get a single channel. This bothered me for about two days and I was about to go buy rabbit ears. Then I realized that life is much better without that noisy, condescending garbage. I didn't buy the rabbit ears and I'm not going to. Fuck television. If you watch it, you're inferior. And you probably know that. So now you're weak too. Congrats.
