The Pick-Up Artist
I’m learning that girls love the new haircut. Boys: not so much. I think that girls just admire a woman who will hack off all her hair. It’s more an impressed coo of approval, I think. But one man in Duluth, Georgia, thinks I’m the shit. Chris and I were at a Barnes & Noble,…

Requests
[readermail]”…for some reason I feel the need to tell you, the EBAY hair sale rates fairly high on my squick meter (though I am sure the hair is quite clean and well-conditioned)…” “Nobody can clone you from your hair unless that person has the hair follicle and access to lots of science labs. So I…

You Wanna Piece of Me?
Atlanta was fun. I’ve changed from this one little visit. I’ll explain. First of all, if you’d like to see what a fire can do to one of your closest friends, take a gander at Chris, who might just be re-earning his old nickname of Bitter Chris. That’s a man who’s a little more guarded…

Fire, Books, Cigarettes
You can’t just leave for five days and think you can come back with a quick entry that updates everything. I’m also totally behind in my work. So I’m printing a letter from Chris, updating the book list, and then giving another classic entry. You’ll hear my Atlanta stories tomorrow. Many of you have written…

I could have sat there all day chatting with librarians and booksellers, signing and autographing. Really. So much fun. I had “people” and the important “coffee”…

Meeting Michael Moore
If you happened to be watching C-SPAN or Book TV this afternoon, because you wanted all the hot Book Expo action you could catch, you might have seen Michael Moore being interviewed. If you did see that, the girl with the shockingly white t-shirt and the blue do-rag standing just behind the interviewer — that…

The Writing Curve
First of all, I just want to say this week’s Onion infographic about moving to Austin is hysterical. I’ve known more than one Austinite with a damn didgeridoo. There’s an instrument created for people who can’t keep an iguana alive but still need something to make them even more of an annoying outcast. Why, yes.…

This is Radio Clash
I think there’s a 99.999999% chance that not one of you heard me on the radio yesterday. I was the final five minutes of this show, right before Ollie North took over the airwaves. Yep. Me and Republican radio, just like you always knew it would happen. For those of you who missed it (ie:…
