  • Oh, shit. I was so wrapped up in the new story I started today that I just about nearly forgot to make my Monday post today! I might have completely skipped it out of negligence if I hadn’t received a rejection email and got up to mark it on the board, and it rushed back…

  • Lost and Found.

    To be honest, I’m surprised I ever thought it would work. When my last laptop putzed out on me months ago, I thought I could squeeze out a system of using the computers available at my job every once in a while to update my blog, type up some stories, send some stories out, that…

  • Snow Day!!!

    Here in Chicagoland…err, I mean, Chiberia, we’re experiencing record cold temperatures. Naturally, schools are closed, events are canceled, but in our crazy consumerism world, shopping malls are still open. I work at one of those, an outdoor mall, to boot, so I almost had to work today, but my Florida-native general manager managed to convince…

  • So, some of my more regular readers (who are very awesome) may have noticed a little blip in my productivity this weekend. Usually, I’m pretty good about posting something every day except for most Sundays, but this weekend, it became an impossible task to post something decent that I could be proud of. I’m sure…
