Mel’s Diner

Off

I’m at Mel’s. I’m cold. It must be 5 degrees in here.
I was up early this morning. R needed a drive to work, so I’ve got all this time to waste before going in. So I stopped in at Mel’s for some breakfast. The morning crew doesn’t know me, so I had the option of getting something *other* than the regular: Mel’s vegetarian, over medium, brown toast, and tomatoes. I got my regular anyway, but forgot to add “old style potatoes” and a bottle of Tabasco.
FYI, the new style homefries are terrible, like eating big chunks of half-melted wax.
I should probably head in a little early, just to make sure all the fires are put out from the blackout last night, but I was there really late, and I really hate troubleshooting printing problems and nebulous, sporadic network issues. Unfortunately, the two people who actually designed the network are away on holiday, and I’m the remaining resident expert.
Maybe I’ll just sneak over to HMV or Second Cup for a bit. Then I’ll head in.

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.
