Bloke Back from England

Off

Friend Toxin just got back from the U.K. On the weekend and he’s been staying with me until he moves on to other points west and south. Some would say he got away just in time, what with this morning’s terrorist attacks in London. Apparently he was also in NY just a week before the 9/11 attacks. I worry about whatever city he’s eventually headed for.
He did bring some nice things with him; among the stash was the usual bag of unusual potato crisps — this time, a sweet Thai chili and coriander flavour. It tastes just like the BBQ flavour you’d get here.
Also among the stash was a bottle of French absinthe, and last night we each had an absinthe cocktail (or whatever you’d call absinthe and water over ice). I didn’t put any sugar in, like you’d see in the movies, but I didn’t have a fancy slotted spoon like in the movies. Yikes, not exactly a drink of choice, but I can see how it would be kind of refreshing on a hot summer afternoon. I think I’ll put it on my list of things to learn to like. Also on the list are Bread and Butter pickles and Adam Sandler. Actually, no, Adam Sandler’s not on the list.
Also in the pile of loot was a “Bat Boy: the Musical” T-shirt. Now. *that’s* a find.

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.
