I’ve just discovered something wonderful. When I get in a cold shower after a hard workout — I mean a frigid, bone-chilling, scrotum-tightening, ice-cold shower — I start laughing, uncontrollably. And I’m not talking about the sort of defeated laugh-or-cry laughter of the persecuted, I’m talking about real, honest-to-god, gut laughter. It’s the strangest thing. [...]
I watched Al Gore’s speech at the Democratic National Convention last night. It was pretty amazing — measured, natural, funny, leagues better than the wooden monotonous drones he gave us during the 2000 campaign; he didn’t look at all like a bloated marionette, just comfortable and competent. I thought the little asides on his 2000 [...]
This poor, defenseless blog got absolutely flooded with spam this weekend. I woke up Sunday morning to find over 750 new comments scattered throughout the entries, all linking to sites specializing in various unmentionable sexual perversions.

My phone rang at 3 am, yanking me out of a really excellent dream that featured me — a taller, handsomer me without the crippling social dysfunction — regaling a roomful of attractive people with funny stories about the island nation I’d just purchased. I fumbled the phone out of its cradle and grunted something [...]
Ariana Huffington has a fantastic column in today’s Salon about our president’s pathological flipfloppery. Her larger point is that Bush is a classic Freudian projectionist, attributing his many grievous flaws to others instead of trying to come to terms with them himself. His attempt to brand Kerry as an epic flipflopper is just one instance [...]
I grow weary of receiving rejection letters from the same short story magazines over and over again, so I’ve decided to do something about it. My choices, as I see them, are as follows: Write gooder. I once complained to my dad that I could never finish any stories I was working on because I [...]
