These pieces have been written over a period of four years, and range from ridiculously bad to somewhat all right. All work copyright 1997-2001 by me, Kim Shable. And if you steal it, I'll rip your arms off and beat you with them. No lie.

Songs

word of explanation: one day, I just decided to start writing songs. And I
literally do mean one day, because I wrote these two in one intense sitting
behind the desk at the Ashland Super 8 (America's finest motel chain) and then
never did anything again. But these are good songs, except the one is sort of to
the tune of "Steamroller," by James Taylor. Not on purpose, mind you. If I were
purposefully going to rip off a tune, it would probably be "Rock Lobster," by
the B-52s.

Something in the water (1998-present)
The following installments do not go in chronological order; well, they DO, but they don't appear right next to each other. In other words, I'm waiting to write the boring parts that connect everything together till last.
