Moody Moods

Off

Big snowstorm today. Made driving really bad for my car (sans snow tires). I’ll have to get them put on sometime this weekend.
Did the arty thing, and spent last night chillin’ at the Moody Blues Café (or the “Café Café”, since the sign on the front of the house says as much). Great place. It’s the main floor of this house on Regina St. that sells books, coffee, cakes, and a huge assortment of teas. The tea is scattered about on the main table, each blend in a different, unmarked container. The owner is best described as a little hepcat German lady, who’s always wearing a beret. She often talks quietly about crazy things she used to do in far away lands, and about living in “the commune” with a bunch of interesting people. It’s a mostly University crowd there, and once or twice, I thought I was trapped in a dream, much like in “Waking Life“. Sometimes people get there and are compelled to talk like pseudo-intellectual students. Myself included. Sometimes you can’t help it.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
