Oh Victory in Earworms (A Melodious Malady)

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on June 25, 2013 by Kelli Jae BaeliMay 3, 2018

Kelli Jae Baeli #IronyoftheDay I’m an atheist, & yet I woke up with a HYMN stuck in my head. I’d pray to God to make it stop, but then, well. You know. Pasted from <https://www.facebook.com/jaebaeli> Yeah, that was my status update this morning. It’s bad enough, when you just get a regular song stuck in your head, but for an ATHEIST to get a HYMN lodged up in that looping track? Not just the insipid sycophantic melody those tunes always have, but the actual content of the lyrics, the sentiments inherent in hymnal/gospel music, et al; it’s sandpaper against every … Continue reading →

The Extended Metaphor of Us

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on March 7, 2012 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 7, 2012

She flew in under my radar. buzzed my ivory tower, until I noticed her there, gracing the sky with her beauty, like an elegant, fragile bird. When I stopped searching the sky for Harpies and pterodactyls, I saw her…strong in her weaknesses, swooping and ascending, wings white as snow, reflecting the sunlight of hope. And when she landed, and I looked into her azure eyes, I saw her soul, her damaged but still strong wings, and I stroked her, felt the softness of her feathers, smelled the scent of wind and rain, heard the beauty of her song. And I … Continue reading →

Plaque Brain

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on September 13, 2011 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 11, 2013

I often have trouble remembering my dreams, even though i wish fervently that this was not so. Dreams are an incredible resource for a creative person, and this NO ACCESS thing makes me think that the Powers That Be are protecting me from some screaming ugly… At any rate, when i do recall a dream, i like to write it down…if it’s interesting… so… I was having exploratory brain surgery. Skull open, i had a metal halo contraption around my head. Two of the docs were in there–or orderlies, maybe…they were acting crazy, looking at my exposed gray matter. One … Continue reading →

From Dreamword Mant to the Noosphere

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 19, 2009 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 5, 2013

This would be another example of how i go from one tidbit to an entirely new tidbit, both of which seem completely unrelated. This tactic has been useful in the development of plots and characters and ideas in my books. I pay attention to my dreams and often use them in my work. I fell asleep researching and working on my book Supernatural Hypocrisy: The Cognitive Dissonance of a God Cosmology. I was aggravated for hours about my vision issues–none of my contacts or reading glasses seem to work well for my computer work or reading…unless I take out the … Continue reading →

Love Archetype

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 6, 2008 by Kelli Jae BaeliAugust 6, 2008

I had five dreams about her again last night. I wasn’t thinking about her when i went to sleep, nor the whole day before. But again, i dream about her. too often. And it’s always the same. She is in some way being nice to me. The dreams always feel so good. So why am i complaining? well, because it’s a dream and not real. I never did get that closure with her. She never was nice to me. It’s complicated also by the fact that in all these dreams, the “nice:” gets mixed in with the romantic, and she … Continue reading →

Vaudeville Mantis, Finals & A Severed Finger

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on August 5, 2003 by Kelli Jae BaeliMarch 8, 2013

I DREAMED there was this Praying Mantis who was the size of one of those anti-theft steering wheel “clubs.” This Mantis could sing and dance like a seasoned vaudevillian…. I came around a corner in this building and saw him and was flabbergasted. He was singing “My Way.” All I could think about was getting to my camera so I could return and capture this once-in-a-lifetime event… When i returned, camera in hand, the Vaudeville Mantis had gone; witnesses pointed around the corner, and I found him there, smaller, not singing and not dancing…a regular mantis…i was so mad. No … Continue reading →

Dreams, Nicole Kidman, & The Path Not Taken

Kelli Jae Baeli Posted on February 17, 2003 by Kelli Jae BaeliFebruary 17, 2003

I actually remembered a dream his morning, First time in, what? A year? Two? A long time. Anyway, I dreamed that LS and I were in Eureka Springs, and she was at the corner of my desk, using my phone, and that corner of space, like she tends to do. . . and she was trying to get hold of Nicole Kidman, who was in town. It was like an assignment-as if she was working for a local paper or something. She wanted to interview her. She had the number to her hotel room. I said, “You can’t just call … Continue reading →

Quotes from Kelli Jae Baeli

"I am a pariah. I know this, though the usual response from my friends to this proclamation is a dismissive, No you're not...you're just rare and wonderful. Like a good steak. Great. So I'm only good for a food source."

Politics Quotes

"People feel removed from sexism. 'I'm not a sexist, but I'm not a feminist.' They think there's this fuzzy middle ground. There's no fuzzy middle ground. You either believe that women are people or you don't. It's that simple." (Joss Whedon)
