Just posted about my love (jealousy) of Alice Munro, but you’re not sitting at school or at work with a copy of her book, are you? No, you aren’t. How about I do some linky-linky and you guys can pretend to be listening in a meeting or…
43. Strong Poison– Dorothy L. Sayers44. Sexing the Cherry– Jeanette Winterson (Wow, could two books be less alike?) 45. Selected Stories– Alice Munro….or, um, actually. That’s a lie. I’m thisclose to being done with this book, but not quite. These so-called short stories are like little mini…
Yeah, sorry. I was chugging along pretty well there for a while—perhaps too chuggy. One friend of mine said it was “hard to keep up.” Sorry. I’m trying to find the right balance of posting, linking, storytelling. I’m also job searching (hello to everyone who has my…

Also known as: I’m busy writing, so here’s a lazy post. Go read the only story I have online at the moment, a crime story that had to be 3,000 words or less. I only mention the word limit because, in a perfect world, I bet I…
I couldn’t get Ursa to wear it. I couldn’t get her to look at the camera, either. So here is my brand new University of Three Lakes sweatshirt in “honey.” I almost posted the second one only. I figured this would piss of my friend Stacy, since,…
