Neptune, Love and Longing

A friend of mine wrote a poem that I love. It’s a haunting poem, about lingering love.

Fellow Neptunians, lend me your ears…

I’ve been thinking about disillusioned Neptunians. Well, really about disillusioned and bitter Neptunians and this comes to mind: Lilies that fester, smell far worse than weeds. -Shakespeare’s Sonnet XCIV The Bard has something for everyone, no? I don’t know the nitty-gritty of the iambic pentameter or the blank verse, but that hasn’t hampered my enjoyment [...]

Guest Post – Understanding Neptune in Love and Relationships

I’m a regular reader of Dawn Bodrogi’s blog The Inner Wheel. Her work is awe-inspiring, not only because of its depth and attention to detail, but because she approaches it with great seriousness.

Sure, I got time to talk. It’s the weekend. So, where do you want to go? On a hill ‘round a fire, drinking cheap booze? Or to Couch despite their loud music, ‘cause they do the best Cosmopolitans in the city? Or do you just want to come over and we can talk late into [...]

Star Trek XI, Neptune and the Art of Film-making

As I was getting settled in to watch and be enthralled, my mind whispered, “Cinema. Neptune.” Not surprising because movies are ruled [...]
