Twitterbots
I think the reason so many porn spammers try to follow Nyx is because she uses the word “fuck” a lot.
Today’s Stats
Only had two regular workout days last week instead of four. Annoying. On the other hand, it was a short and busy week. When J. and I stopped at Wendy’s at 1 am for a “snack” on the way home from our fireworks party on Saturday and I ordered a baconater, I turned to him
East and West
“Superman and his buddies will be uniting with The 99, superheroes already popular in the Middle East and who personify the 99 attributes of Allah. Created by Kuwaiti-based Teshkeel Media, The 99 are ordinary people who develop special abilities after coming into contact with a mystical glass. They do not have secret identities and include
The Writing Life (or, lack thereof)
I worry these days that my writing isn’t as good as it used to be, because all the choices I make seem to be poor ones. I’ll go through a story or a scene and realize that what I chose during the first pass was totally inappropriate. I keep thinking I’ve lost touch with the

I like that all the characters
New Writing Time
Some work-in-progress. Trying to get back on the wagon here. I’ve got a new writing time from 8-9:30 every night. Let’s try it on for size. I’ve tried starting this particular story several times, but this is the first opening I’ve written where the setting feels right and the main character isn’t a total asshole.
On "Promoting" Obesity
Isn’t there some inherent sexism in focusing on the weight of a woman who is making a living because of her singing and songwriting skills? Does every Jack Black interview have to include “relevant” information about his weight? Seth Rogen became a star without a svelte physique. No one cared if we posted about those
