Ahh… it’s always good to announce new stuff of mine that pops up throughout the publishing universe. Why? Well, ego for one thing… I like seeing my name in print. But it also makes me feel good because I know a check with numbers and a dollar sign on it will soon be arriving in […]
Arghh. It’s amazing how when you get an idea to write an article about some band or actor, a major publication gets the idea at the same time and ends up doing an article on them.
For instance, right as I was gathering contacts in order to pitch an article about Future 86 somewhere (see the […]
Right now, I’m watching this 1-800-OK-CABLE ad playing during the noon news. In it is a band called Future86, singing a ska-lite tune extolling the virtues of various cable providers’ “Triple Play” service.

My left shoulder’s been bugging me lately. Nothing major; just a twinge. But it it’s been enough of a twinge to wake me up in the morning and make me swallow some Advil, something I tend to avoid if I can.

You know those stock shots of fat people’s mid-sections that you usually see on the local news whenever they do a story on obesity?
I wonder if I’ve ever been in one of those shots.

Ever think you’ve got the perfect subject for an essay or blog post, then when you actually get down to writing the thing, it comes out all wrong? That just happened to me tonight.
I was going to make some funny observations on how models are the best salespeople because they make even the boring clothes […]
I’ve heard that in order for your blog to have a realistic chance of being taken “seriously,” that you need to add at least three entries per week. As you can tell, I’m kind of falling behind in that regard. What can I say? I’m not really in a bloggery state of mind.

Anyone know of a good way to block comment sp*m? I seem to be getting at least one of them per day, and it’s starting to annoy me. Maybe there’s a WordPress plug-in that’ll help me with this….
