My NaNoWriMo novel is done. You can see most of it here and I’ll be posting the rest when the adrenaline wears off. I am a winner!
It’s been a hard road (3100 words typed this night alone on a very empty stomach) but a pretty rewarding one. I think that the last […]
Had a great weekend at home for Turkey Day. Brought El home to meet the folks as well as my boisterous Uncle Peter and Auntie Suzanne and she was well received by all, especially my little niece who calls her “Auntee Dris-a-bus” which is cute beyond words.
My niece also has a spiff play slide […]
So, I went to Uncommon Ground to tell a story tonight, as I didn’t get to go two weeks ago. I went up first, actually (since the signup for open mic rolls over) and I told one of my favorite stories, the one about how my family betrothed me to a girl when I […]
The Brick Testament
I’m in awe of the time and energy this took, really. And his rating key at the beginning is hilarious. Right. Enjoy.
When I was a kid, I had “The Children’s Illustrated Bible Stories” and I would read the stories within thinking that I was reading the Bible. When I […]
Adam and I caught a matinee of Die Another Day to save money but they raised ticket prices so we only got a dollar off normal price.
He thought it was even worse than the Transporter, but he didn’t get his hopes up so the disappointment was less.
I admit, I’m a total sucker for Bond movies. […]
Went to see Into the Woods last night at Cahn. I’m always amazed by the quality of the work put on by this school’s official theater department. From the sets to the lights to the costumes, everything is top notch. One the other end of the spectrum are student shows which have […]
Wordshark
This game is amazingly addictive. Mavis Beacon meets Jaws. Anyway, I’m happy to report that I can type 72 WPM with 94% accuracy, when it counts. I can tell myself that at least when I take time off the novel to play this game, I’m really still being productive, since I am […]
I finally got a job offer! It’s a pretty attractive one as well. So, uh, yeah. Not sure when I’ll start, but I’m pretty excited nonetheless. It’s for ZS Associates. I’m really skippy right now although after I found out, I felt like I was in mortal danger, like my life […]
I drove to St. Louis on Saturday for the Laughapalunga Comedy Festival at City Improv. Laurel and I were performing with Mike, our old director. We got to see teams from ImprovBoston and from Chicago.
Our show was OK (actually, I had a great time with a little COOH-rage in me). But the […]
The Bunion
I guess MAD magazine doesn’t like the Onion… You know, I’ve been reading Wisconsin’s proudest export to the world of pop culture since I was a sophomore in high school.. There have been ups and downs… but yeesh, this much ire? Hey, MAD, give you magazine away for free every week […]
