I Understand Where Jason Was Coming From
This has been a most unpleasant Friday the 13th. I wrote a story when I was nine about a kid who had the worst day of his life (bad test grade, grounded by parents, little sibling gets awesome present), only to figure out it was due to the date. Here I am, twenty years later,…

(nice dream)
[scripty] PAMIE Hey, I was thinking about the lyrics to “True Love Waits.” STEE The Radiohead song? PAMIE Uh-huh. STEE It’s like, “Duh-NUUUUH-NUUH-NAAH-NUHHH!” PAMIE Right. Like, “I shout out my duhhhnnnh!” STEE Perfect for a wedding. PAMIE It’s simple, though. One guitar, and then that weird beeping, and one person singing. STEE It’s an import,…

This looks the same to you…
But it’s very different for me. You see, I’m writing this post on my fancy new computer that I bought because I get to write another fancy book for Downtown Press. I haven’t bought a computer since I was a junior in college. My ancient iMac kept crashing (and doesn’t travel well), and my dad’s…

Wonder Killer
I no longer trust anyone using a pay phone. I realized that the other week, watching someone hunched over a pay phone, reading something off a crumpled piece of paper. Was he lost? What was he doing? Sure, not everybody can afford a cell phone, I know that. But homeboy’s standing next to a Pizza…

Late at Night
I am restless. Restless. Nothing sounds interesting. I tried watching television. Reruns. I tried reading my book. Short stories of Dorothy Parker just aren’t grabbing my attention tonight. I worked out. I cooked dinner. I cleaned. I took out the trash. I’m listening for the neighbors, at this point.

La La Loser
homeless and unemployed. Yeah, so this isn’t going very well. Basically I’ve seen every apartment that’s available right now. Some have sent us screaming and running away before we’d even go in. I have a rule that I don’t want to live in any apartment that looks like Daniel Laruso once threw his bike in…

More Airplane Writing
because i can. I am blessed with a middle seat on an emergency row for my return flight to Austin. Therefore I’m going to write tomorrow’s entry today because I have enough room and time. I don’t know if my morning flight to LA will bless me with space, and I don’t know if I’ll…

What I Do For Weezer
how to survive an all-day music festival Eric comes home today, so I spent the day making my house look like I haven’t thrown three frat parties here while he was gone. Yesterday I spent all day at 101xFest. Ten hours outside in the heat just to see one band: Weezer. I hadn’t been to…
