I have to google myself on the Internet in order to find a past interview with me from a few years ago, wherein I talked at length about my ideas for a story I was working on. I can't find my story notes anywhere else!! Thank God for the Internet!
Anyone feel like doing some filing for me???? I...

Due to a schedule change in my harried, overworked world, my cousin and I weren't able to celebrate Dylan's 70th yesterday, so we're doing it today instead!
We'll be watching Scorsese's No Direction Home; we're having "road food' for lunch -- burgers, fries, Cokes. And we're having a...

The sun is shining again today, and I have proof!
(But first, I want to mention that I know that the word "eek" is actually spelled "eke" (See post from yesterday re: the sun) but it looked too strange to write "eking" so I wrote "eek-ing" instead, since...

Yay. Finally. The sun keeps eek-ing its way out. I think we will finally have a day without constant, steady RAIN.
That said, though, some of my plants are thriving in all this wet stuff. For instance, say hello to the mulberry tree that seems bound and determined to make its way inside my...

Yay!!
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Strange Tides has already made $18.5 million dollars overseas. Without my having to be in a single one of those theaters, gang. That's kind of impressive, don't you think???
To be honest, I have been so insanely busy around here, I had sort of forgotten that...

Yes, well. I'm not a big fan of cars -- not the band, The Cars, I love them, but I mean the actual vehicles. Cars. I'm not crazy about them. It was one of the reasons I loved living in New York City for 26 years. Now -- taxis, I love. What's not to love about taxis? You can stay out late...

Well, not only does Woody Allen's new film, Midnight in Paris, take place largely in Paris in the 1920s, it was very well received at Cannes.
Now, yesterday, French director Michel Hazanavicius's film, The Artist, played to much acclaim yesterday at Cannes and the Weinstein Company will be...

I say "noisy" because it's 5:45 AM and the birds are chirping like mad out there right now, gang!! How cool! Could mean it's not raining. We'll see when the sun actually comes up.
Didn't the Cannes Film Festival look insane yesterday afternoon??? Wowie. It actually kind of looked a...

Luckily, I am not superstitious. I am many other often unsavory things, but superstitious is not among them. Yay! That means I can stride boldly into this great day. In fact, I might even take famed UK astrologer Jonathan Cainer's great advice and tie a black cat to each of my shoes today so...

I have more emails in my inbox than you can possibly imagine. And by emails, I only mean the emails that need a response from me that involves more than simply "writing back." Since I have a new novel out that is up to its gills in PR planning; I have a novel out from last year that...

This little work of art came from Valerie yesterday when she found out about the IPPY award for Freak Parade (see post below).
As loyal readers of this lofty blog no doubt recall, Valerie is a long-time muse of mine and served as the inspiration for the character of Wanda in Freak Parade. In...

It was just announced that my self-published novel, Freak Parade, won the Silver Medal for Best Erotica 2010 in the Independent Publishers Awards.
This feels so good, gang. Every publishing house imaginable turned that manuscript down so I had to publish it myself. Talk about feeling validated.
