Welcome back, Summer of Soda!
A while back, Kate and I were in the habit of going to Galco Soda Pop Stop in Eagle Rock, loading up the Honda with weird-ass sodas from all around the US (and occasionally the world, too), and then drinking them to see what we thought. Then she graduated USC, and I had to write [...]

Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Kate forwarded me this wonderful blog post, where a woman talks about a long correspondence she once had with John Hughes. The ability to connect with great people–especially great young people–is the best part of writing. I really value the pen pals and e-pals I’ve picked up over the years, but the normal crush of [...]

Last night at 11:45, my wife was in the bathroom, washing bits of Burbank off her face. I was in the bedroom twenty feet away, petting my cat, looking at the moon outside our window. Kate and I were doing the married thing, getting our stories straight after a long day. I’d just come back [...]

…is here. Kate’s writers’ PA for the AMC show “Breaking Bad,” and she wrote this very funny vignette about wedding-day jitters. (Need I mention that it is chillingly reminiscent of my own wedding day?) Link to it, send it around, but be aware, it might be a little NSFW.
Continue reading...Unpacking my feelings about David Foster Wallace
Wednesday, December 3, 2008
The New Statesman has an interesting article about David Foster Wallace in light of his suicide. For various reasons, lately I’ve become more interested in Wallace, even though I have read only a smattering of his work. I am too impatient to enjoy his longer-form writing, as virtuosic as it clearly is. I acknowledge its [...]

Wednesday, November 26, 2008
is now available. Click here to buy it on Amazon. It’s a parody of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, naturally, but done in a way that I’ve never seen before. Kate really liked it, and she’s a tough woman to please. After writing the text, I designed the book to recall Dickens’ original 1843 edition; all [...]

Tuesday, July 15, 2008
I’m taking a break from writing (blogging in particular) for the summer and maybe longer. But there is a controversy afoot, a tiny little tornado in a teacup that, like the ringing of Pavlov’s bell, has wrung an inevitable response from me. I’m just as God made me, folks, a simple satirist and ex-magazine person [...]

(Folks, I wrote this a couple of weeks ago for fun. I had vague notions of trying to sell it, but realized over the weekend that I couldn’t possibly do so in time. The wheels of publishing grind ever-so-slowly. So, enjoy.) I JUST WANT TO HELP THE TEAM All of us who follow NBA basketball [...]

…you’re only robbing yourself. Check it out here. Kate sez, “Fi (a cat of ours) doesn’t read my blog because I use too many swears.” But you, YOU have no excuse not to go over there and read about inviso-text, my questionable TV-viewing habits, a folder titled “No, Kate, No!”, and a miniature Jane Austen [...]

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
