The Dreamscape Universe of An Aspiring Scribe

"One describes a tale best by telling the tale. You see? The way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. It is a balancing act and it is a dream. The more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory. The most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless. The tale is the map that is the territory." --Neil Gaiman, 'American Gods'

I'm a 21-year-old college student with dreams of being a professional writer. As you can tell from this blog, I certainly have the ego for it!

Strumming Along

I did it! I bought my first guitar today. A great deal at $450... for a $599 instrument, plus gig bag. There's a little music shop (mostly guitars) on Broadway and Collingwood called Westcoast Music; friendly people, not a big chain, and they sell mainly a Vancouver-based brand called Bayou. I got a pure acoustic, solid top, steel string. And some complimentary picks. Here it is:



I still need to get a strap and a tuner, but after that I'm set to go.

Well, there's still the bit about learning how to play...

Be seeing you,
