In Which An Out of Office Message Is Set To ‘On’.
I’ll be in western Michigan until late on Sunday, watching two fine people get married. Posting is expected to resume not long after I get back.

Housekeeping, The Thursday Agitation
the thursday agitation: an introduction
Today brings the first installment of The Thursday Agitation, a weekly series of short interviews on The Scowl. First up will be Christopher Weingarten, my onetime editor at Paper Thin Walls, to discuss (among other things) his 1000 Times Yes project. Said interview should be up within a few hours.
For the record, I’m using “agitation” [...] -

three (3) brief updates
One: I’ll be taking part in Hex Education Journal’s Vol.1 reading later this month. More information to come next week.
Two: Over the weekend, I’m going to be messing with the design of The Scowl somewhat. Thrilling, I know, but it’s been over two years since I last tweaked the look of things, and I’m thinking [...] -
Food, Housekeeping
Recommended food writing: 11.17.08
I’ve been meaning to add a “Food” section to the links collected here for a while now. And, lo, I’ve now done so, including a couple previously filed under “NYC”. Among the initial selection:
Kat Bakes, which concerns itself with, well, baking;
The Internet Food Association, in which a number of political and cultural essayists shift gears [...] -

heading (mid)west
Between a number of deadlines and assorted tasks related to next week’s ERMP show, I’ve been pretty light on the posting this week. I’m heading to Minneapolis tomorrow night for the weekend, so posting will remain fairly sporadic until I’m back sometime on Monday night. That said, expect some lengthy, rambling thoughts on both Zach [...]

returned from delaware; new keyboard
I am returned from the shores of Delaware with (a) firsthand knowledge that NASCAR is really, really loud; (b) arguably the worst sunburn of my adult life
Hell of a weekend regardless of the burn and tinnitus, though. -

posting delay…
…owing to a mysterious keyboard glitch and a trip to Delaware.
Back soon. -

thematic.
Trying out a new theme for the blog. In this case, it’s Upstart Blogger Minim, though I’m messing around with certain elements of it…

I’ve started a backmatter post for my GIMME FICTION column at Paper Thin Walls; the first entry can be found here.
Also: a photograph of mine appears in the upcoming New York Calling, accompanying an essay by Brandon Stosuy. Good things come of Flickr, I tell ya. -

Mac users.
If you’re a reader of this blog and a Mac user, I suspect you may also use Camino as your browser. If you’re using version 1.0.2, I’d recommend upgrading to 1.0.4 or the beta version of 1.1; there is a bug in 1.0.2 which causes the bookmarks to become corrupt and, well, vanish. [...]

Feeling ill.
In the interim, enjoy Daphne’s review of Chinese Stars, Mat Brooke’s new band,, an angry filmmaker, and a kitten.
Details on a NYC reading for the new issue of THE2NDHAND coming soon. -

Wednesday.
Not a lot of time on the homefront so far this week; I’m spending this scenic St. Valentine’s Day at home in Brooklyn, enmeshed in assorted spring cleaning-esque activities and listening to the Meat Puppets’ Mirage, which I’m digging so far, though not as much as Up On the Sun or Huevos. Also, just [...]

design: quick note
Upgraded the blog to the new version of Wordpress; figured this would be a good idea. Note to self: always check to make sure your theme is compatible with the new version of Wordpress before you upgrade. (Thank you, Tarski.) After messing about with code for a good chunk of the night, [...]

….the only pun that comes to mind right now isn’t worth using here.
My review of Richard Swift’s “Kisses for the Misses” is up now on Paper Thin Walls. You should, perhaps, go check it out.
Snow on the ground in NYC; the links area of this page in total disarray. Hello, Friday.
