"OH MY DARLING, WHY DID YOU CHANGE?"

For the month of October, Bigmouth is going pink for breast cancer awareness month. As many of you might remember, it’s a big issue to me, in small part because of a scare I had over the summer, the second scare I had over the summer, and largely because some monumentally important people to me [...]

"BIGMOUTH STRIKES AGAIN"

The Fixx Reading Series was rescheduled at the last minute. I’ll let you know when the masterminds of Hobart and Ninth Letter are back in town.

"GOLDEN LIGHTS"

This is tomorrow night. Go.
Also…
Friend of friend needs to find a good great home for two adorable golden labs. Their new baby has a terrible allergy to them! Kitty and I are just about all this apartment can handle, or I’d do it myself. If anyone has any thoughts on the matter or wants to [...]

"AS THE FLAMES ROSE"

I wish I was teaching a writing class. Short fiction. Novel. Poetry. Sketch comedy. I would dig that so much.
I am going through my email inbox today. All those nagging things, fun things, whatevs, that I need to follow-up with, today is the day.
Tomorrow, though, is The Fixx Reading Series and this month we have [...]

"I WAS DETAINED"

Hidey ho. Looks like I’m doing a little article about Peru for a travel publication, got a bite on another idea I had for a small series of pieces, so I’m putting that proposal together, yadda yadda.
Ohh, before I forget, see some adventures in Omaha here, here, here and especially here, ha ha, courtesy Jami [...]

“DO YOU REALLY THINK SHE’L PULL THROUGH?”

The Psoas muscle group can get you if you’re not careful. It’s also the reason why keeping your abs super-strong is one of the best and easiest ways I’ve found to keep your lower back from aching. What I’m saying is that it is very easy to build strong abs (no really, it all comes [...]

"THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT"

My Jewcy post is up, of course, a little mish-mash about Yom Kippur and tonight’s Kol Nidre. Kol Nidre (pronounced just like it looks “Coal need-ray” or “Coal nid-ray”), is so wonderful, in my very humble opinion. So beautiful and blinky to me. Anyway, speaking of Jewcy, I want all of youse to click over [...]

"DISPLAYING YOUR NAME"

I did the inaugural reading of The Nod last night and had a blast. We all read various odds and ends from our blogs, laughed very hard and it was, all in all, a lovely night. Co-creator Joe Janes blogged the whole scoop here (and was awesome enough to plug The Fixx Reading next week!) [...]

"…’CAUSE YOU’VE ONLY GOT ONE"

Tonight I’m doing The Nod show at Uptown Writer’s Space at 8pm and I think it’ll be so fun! I’m going to be reading archived blog posts. I have a list, but I still have to whittle it down a bit more. Hmmm….
Jewcy post, The By No Means All-Inclusive Jewish Sports Round-Up, is live.
I got [...]

"ASK ME, UH-HO-HO, ASK ME"

New Jewcy post is up, this time an open letter to Madonna.

This pic (proof that I actually do some work at these festivals) is linked off of Galleycat today from the litfest set.

Tomorrow night, Wednesday, September 19th, 8pm, I’m doing The Nod at The Uptown Writer’s Space at 4802 North Broadway in Chicago. $5 donation [...]
