Tulip moved through the streets at a steady, even pace.  The sky had lightened to a luminescent pre-dawn grey and the ruined Midtown slid by on my left, dark against the pearlescent backdrop.  My blood armor had turned coal-black, its magic gone. It crumbled away at the joints with the motions of the horse, breaking

American “Bulgogi” and Russian Morkovcha

Cooking, Fun POST A COMMENT by

Oh noes, it’s a cooking post. I promised you return to a somewhat normal blogging. Today I offer you two recipes of Korean origin. These shouldn’t be mistaken for original Korean cuisine. It’s more of American/Korean and Russian/Korean fusion, but they are yummy and cheap. Bulgogi. When pandemic started, I bought a bunch of chuck

Family, Just Life POST A COMMENT by

On July 12, Kid 2, whom some of you know as “Brandi,” sent a video of herself squirting hot sauce into her mouth followed by “Look at this, I can’t taste or smell anything.” This has never happened before in her entire life, not with colds, not with flu, not with any infection she’s ever

Scythians

Fun, TV and Film POST A COMMENT by

Ryder POST A COMMENT by

The masochists won the poll. The priests of Moloch now have a name – komer (sg) kmarim (pl.) I sat inside Alycia Walton’s office behind her desk. The door was open and the light from fey lanterns in the hallway drew a long rectangle across the floor. The rest of the room lay shrouded in

Ryder POST A COMMENT by

I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. Of all the potholes to walk into. Luther chuckled. “Take your time.” “How?” “You see the nature of magic and the traces living beings leave in their environment.  I perceive the specifics of one’s magic, but only when I meet them face to face.  To me, everyone’s power
