This morning I was down in the lobby of this Pennsylvania hotel (here for Barry Lyga’s book launch, more on that later), writing my Morning Pages and generally eavesdropping on everyone around me because if they’re going to talk in my presence that’s the risk they take. I heard the key phrase “then there’ll […]

It’s our nature to take things for granted. We get distracted. We have other things to do. We simply can’t pay close attention all the time.
But this morning I took the time to really notice the dog who was leaving. He’s been around nearly 14 years–my entire married life. He […]
Our boy Barry Lyga hits the big time today with a review of his novel The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Goth Girl in USA Today. Check out the entire review, but let’s read together our favorite part:
While comic fans will appreciate references to Brian Michael Bendis, Alan Moore and the like, others […]
(Following Patrick’s example in the comments to yesterday’s post, I will now redirect the topic to something else.)
A writer friend of mine asked me whether I thought she should put together her own website. I told her no–that websites were meant to be designed by creative and technical geniuses like BJ of Kickass Web […]
Found out today that the reason why the elder dog is having all those breathing problems is he has this baseball-sized tumor pressing against his trachea. Yeah, not so much fun. Sorry.
So now because I’m the human and he’s the dog, I get to decide when is the exact right time for him […]
I dropped by Justine’s blog the other day and had the audacity to leave this comment:
Even though some days I want to throw a shoe at my computer screen, or I feel all insecure and stupid and like my writing just stinks and everybody must know it, all I have to do is remember that […]
Yesterday I saw Half Nelson, a well-acted movie that left me totally depressed.
What I want to know is if this is one of those “Is it me?” kinds of things. Because I just don’t find movies about people with unbeatable drug addictions to be all that uplifting. The other one that’s out right […]
I wanted to test him before I started sending people over, but it appears as if our frequent guest Patrick can indeed provide answers to every question.
Here’s a sample:
Q: does a full bladder count as a liquid carry-on?
A: Techincally, no, although a swallowed balloon with a mysterious substance would.
Even still, […]
Some of you may remember that momentous post wherein I announced I was cured of chocolate. I haven’t had a lick of it since July 3, 2006. I may have to embroider myself a commemorative pillow.
Since then I’ve been tackling my other addictions, one by one: Tortilla chips. Frosted Raisin […]
