I watched American Graffiti for the first time in decades last night, but I don't think that's why I am oddly brain-dead this morning... (for some reason, I am super tired today.)
One thing I discovered by watching that film last night, though, is that I know the words to every single song in...

What gives with this endlessly breathtaking weather????
Wow, yet another amazing day -- and, on top of the spiritual gloriousness of it (some people might just say "glory" but why do that when you can make up a new word that sounds way more important and uses a ton of unnecessary letters...

Well, we loved it -- of course! And we will be seeing it again because we couldn't see it in IMAX yesterday and we really want to go back and see it in IMAX. (Luckily, we are armed to the teeth with gift cards, pre-paid passes, etc., etc. for AMC theaters! Whew.)
I don't really know how someone...

I am trying not to get too political on this blog this year only because I am so disgusted with everything about this Administration and appalled by the agendas of those who are ideologically opposed to it.
While it seems like an encouraging step for Obama to be pro-Gay Marriage (although, as...

Was it that intense Supermoon? I don't know. All I know is that I feel incredibly EXHAUSTED today. I'm not even sure how I'm managing to stay propped up here in front of the computer. (I'm thinking that if I go get ice cream from the freezer and eat it right this minute, it could give me the...

That's kind of a weird statement, isn't it? "Now that it's still fresh" ?
Well, what I am referring to is the current season of Mad Men. Astounding. I was under a deadline through most of the current season, so I haven't been able to comment about it until now.
Super-duper loyal readers of this...

Wasn't that moon gorgeous last night, gang??? Kinda breathtaking. I took a picture of it but of course -- as loyal readers of this lofty, and oft times sporadic, blog know so well by now -- my camera is not a very good one. It didn't even come close to capturing how splendid it was. Instead, it...

Well, let's look at it this way: The Universe decided it was time for me to take an enforced break from the computer.
All I can say is, thank god I had finally completed the teleplay and turned it in or I would have lost what was left of my mind.
Sunday, while I was pretending to take the day off...

Not a single one of you could be bothered to pick up a rag and do a little dusting around here while I was gone????? Thank you so much. This room is a complete disaster!!
Oh -- ha ha ha. (The inspiration behind that remark? I woke this morning to discover that a friend of my housemate's was...

This comes on the heels of yesterday's post re: Amazon's charitable donations and what might be the hidden high cost of that donation to the non-profit recipients. (For instance, freedom of speech?)
Please read this latest assault on the publishing world by Amazon and sign the petition! We just...

I subscribe to Publishing Perspectives, a daily e-newsletter that focuses on international publishing, because my writing career has always, from the get-go, been international. (And, might I add, along with all the other truly great literary geniuses from throughout all time, my work has...

Is it sunny and gorgeous where YOU are??? It is here, gang. Just perfect. A real spring day. The birds are chirping like mad, and all the spring flowers are in bloom.
Yes, I have to sit at my desk and write for most of today, but I have some Guinness in the fridge at the "ready", and Darby O'...

The news from Smashwords last night was spectacular. Paypal has reversed their proposed censorship policy. Bestiality, rape and incest are back on the erotica menu!!
Well, yay.
That's one down, 700 million more issues to go.
Here's one worth looking into, gang. This came in the Rolling Stone...
