the blink times

Just a brief orientation before you folks can peruse the rest…

After writing at my old place for some years, I felt it was time to pack up and search for greener pastures within cyberspace. As much as it held some of the sweetest memories, the site suffered from a dire excess of typos and bitching. So to all my dear members of the ‘Inaugural Gossip Society’, we shall strive to keep our fun within the confines of our coffee tables.

Upon brooding on the infinite possibilities of my blog’s direction, I finally decided on the page that appears before your screen. You may have noticed that I’ve brought some old entries over and re-animated them for the modern audience, so hopefully everyone may see an improvement in style and typography. There will be the usual staple of reviews, opinions and fiction, with the content skewed towards certain topics which have become a part of my life. Most of the stuff will be made available to the general public, but if you do harbour an incessant urge to find the juice behind the private posts (and parts), just drop me a polite message and I will get back to you when I’m in a pleasant mood.

Up next: acknowledgements and additional contact information.

This site’s proudly brought to you by Mr Aeturnus Lau. He runs a small but dynamic firm that delivers ground-breaking concepts at unbelievably low prices. Occasionally, I write copy and donate ideas. Most times, they’re nice enough to NOT throw the drafts back into my face.

In case you might wonder, I’m a ronin writer (like the warriors of feudal Japan, I am not attached to any editor or creative director). My areas of research include comics, toys, anime, psychology, philosophy and Uma Thurman. If you do have a dime or two to offer, you can ask for a portfolio at this address:

So enjoy the rest of the read, and don’t forget to blink if your eyes get too dry.
