"GOLDEN LIGHTS, DISPLAYING YOUR NAME"

And which of your smiling faces will I see this evening at The Fixx Readings Series, hmm? Scott Korb and Peter Bebergal, coauthors of The Faith Between Us, flew all this way, so I’m hoping we can all pretend like the weather isn’t horrible and come out in droves to give them a nice welcome.

"PRUDENCE NEVER PAYS"

Kids, we have a few things to catch up on.
I went to the supermarket and saw a guy in tight grey sweatpants jerking off. Also Happy Birthday to my Dad.
Let’s talk about the wanking first.
Initially, I thought he was just stratching himself (the wanker, not my Dad), but no, really he was wanking off through [...]

"ANYTHING IS HARD TO FIND"

So, here’s what I’m asking. If you have a book out, if you have a magazine, something like that, I’d like for you to destroy it a copy of it. Then, I’d like for you to turn those pieces into a piece of art and donate it to me to auction off at Pilcrow Lit [...]

"THIS TERRIBLE COLD"

Baby Neptune loves the snow, his parents tell me. How hilar is this giant snowsuit on him?

"ICE WATER FOR BLOOD", PART TWO

So, let’s see, where were we? The plumber, ah yes. So, the plumber and co. come, and they’re delightful Romanian fellows, and we have the best time chatting about Romania and Romanian things. They were off all weekend, but are due to arrive any minute– okay, they were due to arrive an hour and a [...]

"ICE WATER FOR BLOOD"

Today, a plumber comes. Finally. He bangs on some shit, he rearranges my closet, the yanks the access panel off the back of the closet so he can get a clear shot at the frozen pipes, blowtorches them for maybe two minutes, bangs on them with something, pops his head around the corner as I’m [...]

"ASK ME, UH-HO-HO, ASK ME"

April 26th, dollfaces, I’ll be reading a little something I wrote for RAGAD. Location and time? Eh, I’ll let you know. Anyway, bees knees!
Have you looked in at the participant list for Pilcrow Lit Fest lately? It’s getting bigger every day. Man, that’s going to be a forch fest. Are you coming to it? Have [...]

"PAINT A VULGAR PICTURE"

11pm- Think, I’m so tired, I think I’m actually going to be able to skip the insomnia schtick tonight and get some real sleep. Ahhhh. Write Jewcy post. Scowl at shower that still doesn’t work and be glad I showered at Baby Neptune’s earlier in the day.
Midnight- In bed.
1am- Just barely begin to drift off [...]

"THAT REALLY IMPRESSED ME, IT’S WRITTEN ALL OVER MY FACE"

People, I present to you my new beautiful website carefully and thoughtfully made by Momma’s Boy Design. Go look! Go look! You guys, I think this is what the inside of my brain looks like.

"REEL AROUND THE FOUNTAIN"

My shower is still frozen. The faucet is frozen solid and the drain now has a dome of ice over it, making draining impossible as well. The bathroom sink is reduced to only a tiny trickle of ice water. So, my bathroom is useless except for the toilet, is what I’m telling you.
And so, a [...]
