Instead of all the other fascinating things I was going to blog about today, I put it all off in favor of this crap. Apparently, after a beer and a writing-group critique, I'm prone to feeling like I'm getting old. I'll be 29 next month, the final year of being in my twenties. I tend to avoid the getting old feeling because many people assume I'm a lot younger than I actually am, and therefore I feel like I'm a lot younger than I actually am. And usually I don't like this feeling. But at the same time...29. Geez.

I write. I create. I put some of that here. Read at your own risk. If there were an ampersand code for a little skull-and-crossbones, I'd totally be using it right now.
The term "aqua fortis" was the alchemical nomenclature for nitric acid, a necessary component in etching onto zinc plates for intaglio printmaking. I now use copper plates and ferric chloride almost exclusively, as they are much less toxic, but I still like the sound of "aqua fortis."

Hey, I just turned 30, so I know how you feel. I'm nostalgic for 29 right now. :)
The funny part is, Rob is loving 30. Go figure.
The suck of turning 29 is that in about three months you will start thinking about the fact that soon you will be 30. And then you will get all hung-up over the milestones you set for yourself to achieve by 30. So all of 29 is lost worrying about 30.
Or maybe that's just me -- I turn 30 next month and STILL I'm not president of Cuba.
