1. If you ever wanted to see vaginas dressed up as superheroes, go’on ahead and click through. I’d say NSFW, but if anyone’s looking at your computer screen closely enough to actually tell what these are, they deserve to see what they see. [The Mary Sue] 2. “Do you make decisions quickly based on incomplete [...]

So I’m coming out from underneath a crushing February 15th deadline (seriously, who contractually obligates somebody to turn in a project on the day after Valentine’s Day — and what sucker writer agrees to it??? Me, that’s who. [sad face]), to bring you this special, extra lurvely batch of procrastination. Though, seriously, as much as [...]

I’ve talked quite a bit about the many things that happened after my first official date with CH. But in the lead up to Valentine’s Day, I’d like to talk about the stuff that happened before the Friday we went out to dinner six and a half years ago: 1) We met at a dive-bar birthday [...]

But either way, I hope you all have lots of french onion dip, chicken wings, and beer while watching all the clever ads on Sunday, because as we all know, when [...]

At first they were cute, but then people started abusing them, unspeakable things were typed, and then tons of column ink got spilled about how literate folks should just hate the smilie face and how it made others think less of you. So I stopped using [...]

1. Trying to figure out how I could love this Spanish short, which deals with two gay Stormtroopers forced to hide their relationship, more. But I’ve got nothing. [i09] 2. My first cry of the week came courtesy of this less than 7-minute short, which documents the history of the Gay Rights Movement. I was [...]

The other day, I formally noticed that I’ve taken on some new prejudices in the past couple of years: 1. Not being accessible by email and/or app. A lot of people complain about not being able to talk to an actual human being in customer service situations, but few things annoy me more than actually [...]

Dearest Readers, I am so, so, so, happy to announce that we made a deal with Amazon Publishing over the holidays. My second book, THE AWESOME GIRL’S GUIDE TO DATING EXTRAORDINARY MEN, will be one of the flagship novels for their soon-to-launched women’s fiction imprint. We haven’t settled on a release date quite yet, but [...]

1. So next Monday is my birthday. It’s also the day we celebrate Martin Luther King’s Birthday, which is technically January 15th, but celebrated as a federal holiday the third Monday of every January come rain or come shine. Maybe once every four years or so, our birthdays collide. I wrote a play back in [...]
