Because every good mystery needs a dinner scene. Friday, June 27, 2014. It Only Takes One Yes. Something wonderful happened this week: After more than three years of editing and revising my mystery manuscript, A Matter of Taste. After sending out over a hundred query letters to potential agents, I have now entered into a representation agreement with a literary agent: Erin Niumata. Of Folio Literary Management. In New York City. How I feel right about now. Okay, so this was taken when. On another blog, w...

You can order a signed print of the mural here. Saturday, April 12, 2014. Its been a very Hawaiian week. Which isn’t all that surprising, given that I’m living in Hilo—perhaps the most “Hawaiian” of all the locales in this state. And the Three Mountain Alliance. The workshop took place at about 5,000 feet, on the Pu‘u M...

Up today is her dad Marios famous linguine with clam sauce. . The flat shape of linguine (“little tongues,” in Italian) provides the perfect vehicle to soak up this luscious sauce.

Sunday, April 19, 2015. Album Review: A sneak peek at the new Canibus and Bronze Nazareth record Time Flys, Life Dies.Phoenix Rise. This years local SXSW festival was a mostly low-key one for me but I did have one eventful and exciting evening. It began with an experiential marketing promo for one of my favorite films from last year, Interstellar. It was about as amazing as I could have expected, especially when the Interstellar. Shortly thereafter, sitting in a truck parked near the Interstellar. For th...

A Building Roam: Examining James Joyce/Stephen Dedalus' Esthetic Philosophy (part 1)
http://www.abuildingroam.com/2010/07/examining-james-joycestephen-dedalus.html
Sunday, July 18, 2010. Examining James Joyce/Stephen Dedalus' Esthetic Philosophy (part 1). Which details Joyce’s own life from childhood through young adulthood in a prose style that grows more complex and intelligent as the character does. He is also a philosopher, at times outlining his own philosophies and theories through his characters (mainly, his alter ego Stephen Dedalus) and this is especially so in Portrait. Proper vs Improper Art. Joyce first distinguishes between proper and improper art.
