Are You Still Watching?

February 8th, 2023 Let’s talk about Netflix. I’m going to take a break from my topics this month to address the announcement that they will no longer allow people to share their passwords. The reactions are what you would expect: people claim it’s a bad move, and Netflix itself will be hurt after they implementContinue reading “Are You Still Watching?”

SKP 2023: Online Writing & Unproduced Work

February 1st, 2023 Welcome to February. It’s just as damn cold as yesterday. It is also a brand new monthly topic on my Sleeping Kitty Productions 2023 calendar: Internet Writing & Unproduced Work. And I’m going to start with a big question: Why the hell do I do this? By that, I mean: what isContinue reading “SKP 2023: Online Writing & Unproduced Work”

Cave Paintings

January 30th, 2023 One of the fun aspects of documenting memories and recording our own personal histories is the potential that you can inspire yourself. Scrolling through your past from your present, sometimes you come across the right time at the right time. In high school, I decided to create a mural. I didn’t knowContinue reading “Cave Paintings”

Lost Boy

January 26th, 2023 I was drama club president. This probably comes as no surprise to you. I have but a few more essays for Origins month, and there’s no way I can talk about where I came from without mentioning the theater. For most of my school career, I was a little lost in theContinue reading “Lost Boy”

The Triumph of Never Growing Old and the Spirit of Never Giving Up

January 10th, 2023 “Dennis, Steve and I think you will be as great as Walt Disney but you need to know all the big WORDS! We hope this will help. Be creative?” – Inscription from a thesaurus I received in the early 90’s, from my Aunt Jan and Uncle Steve My obsession with Walt DisneyContinue reading “The Triumph of Never Growing Old and the Spirit of Never Giving Up”

Dennis’ Faves of 2022

January 4th, 2023 Looks like we’re trapped indoors another day, which means there is no better time to share what I enjoyed in 2022. This isn’t a “Best Of” list; this is the stuff that captivated and moved me, and the comics, TV, and films I looked forward to throughout the year. A ton ofContinue reading “Dennis’ Faves of 2022”

SKP 2023: Origins

January 2nd, 2023 Happy new year, friends. I decided to start this month on the second to give you all a day off from my bullshit. Every month this year I’ll be sharing posts based on a theme, with most of those themes being a creative project of mine. January’s theme is simple: origins. MyContinue reading “SKP 2023: Origins”

Sleeping Kitty Productions 2023

December 31st, 2022 Hello there. 2023 is a big year, as far as celebrating my (lack of a) creative career goes. It marks both 10 years of publishing books (a novella called Them, on April 1st, 2013), and 20 years since I released my first EP under the name The Next Step (Tangled Cords, onContinue reading “Sleeping Kitty Productions 2023”

Take A Picture

December 30th, 2022 I can’t get over this photo. It might be my favorite one of her. So, we made it? We survived another year? Survival is subjective, and not everyone makes it out alive, including the live ones. Parts of us we used to find essential rust or fade away; we discover new partsContinue reading “Take A Picture”
