The Center of the Universe
What bothers you and why? It bothers me when I am not getting attention. I like attention. I crave attention. It’s probably an overstatement that I want to be the center of the universe, but I’m not so who knows. Gazillions of adoring sentient life forms would be fun to try. An alien species sends…

Letters and Calls
I have had a busy day. Along with my usual blogging, art, and scripture study I have also written several letters to debt collectors and made phone calls to a list of Elders Quorum members. To top it all off I drafted a promotional page for a new satirical religion. Don’t worry though I’m not…
