Nerdery Week Is Coming!
Hello friends of blog-reading!
Sometimes an idea strikes you and you have no choice but to pull off the side of the road, hop out of the car and shout to the heavens:
“BY JOVE! THAT IS BRILLIANT!”
Sometimes the ideas aren’t that great and you kind of shrug a little bit and say ‘eh’ while you make a left …
It’s My Lucky Week!
Hi everybody.
Well, this is going to be short because I just realized I’m going to be very busy this week. Very busy SPENDING MONEY.
Also, I’m going to be quitting the writing thing as of today. Yeah. It was a pipe dream and kind of a waste of time if you ask me. Really, who wants to read books …
Shorty
Favorite Travis quote of late:
Me: Travis, we need you to take some of this cough medicine. C’mon, now.
Travis: No. Not the red stuff!
Me: Why not?
Travis: The red stuff makes me feel silly.

Everything’s Comin’ Up Zombies
Today feels like a zombie-kind-of-day, friends. How so, TKT?I’m going to break it down for you.
- I feel like a zombie today. Since I’ve got a 2 (almost 3!) year old who comes in contact with a handful of other kids on a daily basis, he picks up all sorts of fun germs/colds/etc. I got his cold and it
Sausages!
That last post was long, eh? Sorry about that. Sometimes I need an editor.
A lot of times I do.
So, to keep it brief today, I’m going to drop a link in here that has brought me all sorts of entertainment this morning. Now, you gotta know I’m not normally a link-posting, YouTube referring kinda guy. It’s gotta be …
Firefighter Tales Vol. 1 – Stand-by for Steak
You know, I really, really wanted to do one post a day from Monday thru Friday, but I came up short one post. But, if you’re paying attention, you’ll notice I cheated. I rolled back the clock since this happened on Friday night. You dig?
Presenting… (what I’m sure won’t be a regular feature since I have the attention span …
Swiper, No Swiping!
He’s not feeling good. It’s cold out. What better way to spend the night than sitting downstairs watching Dora the Explorer on DVD?
Side note: I’m starting to sense some recurring themes on this show.
- They always have to get from Point A to Point B.
- They always use that goofy Super Map guy to get the job done.

Rejection + Comments = Love
Like a lot of things in my frantic world, this is long overdue.
I got a rejection card from Houghton Mifflin, oh…a month or so ago, but I just didn’t have the heart to talk about it. And it’s not because I had all my last hopes for THE SHORT BUS JOURNAL riding on their thumbs up or thumbs down. …
Band/Album Generator
It’s Activity Corner here on Tappity Tappity!
Here’s a fun thing to do. Seriously. It’s addicting like Orange Tic-Tacs and giant bricks of crack cocaine. (Or so I’ve heard…)
Instructions:
1. The first article title on this page is the name of your band.
2. The last four words of the very last quotation is the title of your album.…
Landmarks, Goals, Progress & 100 Pages
So, I hit kind of a big landmark last night and I’m pretty excited about it.
Despite the urging from my Nintendo Wii to go out and play Super Mario Galaxy for an extra hour, I pushed through and hit the 100 page point on my editing/red-penning of GOODHALO. While that might seem like nothing to most (or all) of …
