I’ve always been a fan of costume parties. They’re a window of oppurtunity for us escapists to step into the world under another guise. And one of my favourite guises is Frodo Baggins – or just about any old hobbit. 😉

On the night of the soirée, one of the Catwomen (there were at least 6) asked me a profound question along the lines of, “Why Frodo, Johnny why?”

To which I wanted to quip, “Idiot. Why not? No one would ever dress as Frodo. This is a Hero & Villian’s themed le partay. Who would ever think of dressing up as a poor, helpless little hobbit? Everyone would be dressing up as a generic hero, like Batman or Spiderman. And I think too highly of myself to think of such a literal interpretation of this party’s theme. Coming as someone as understated as a hobbit would be pure GENIUS.”

But in truth, I uttered, “Well, um. I look more like a hobbit than an elf.” Read more

‘The Chronicles of Ballard’ is my little experiment where I try to tell a story through Twitter. It’s been in the back of my mind for the past 3-4 months and so decided to give it a shot. Basically, I made up a character named Ballard who goes on an adventure in some fantasy land and records his tales through Twitter.

No idea how long I’ll keep this up. It could go on for months or could end in a few days. haha.

Anyhow, follow Ballard on Twitter. If you don’t have Twitter, you can follow him through his RSS feed. Otherwise, more info about the whole thing here.

A t-shirt one day, perhaps.
