Well, I’m back home with my leg up on the couch. Everything seems to have gone well, but I’m a bit tired.
Turns out there was a tear to my ACL but that was fixed.
I don’t know what that means in terms of recovery time - but as soon as I can sit down at the drawing board I will.

I’ve had serious chest pains that started when I lifted my daughter up this morning. It feels as though someone has wedged an ice pick in my sternum. I doubt it’s something more than a chest sprain, but I’m taking it easy for a while.

I'm not going to claim I'm the most honest writer in the world.

I play mindgames, set up traps, lead readers off cliffs. I borrow from other writers and historians to back up plots I want, no matter what, so there. I do this with my tongue stuck out of the side of my mouth, giggling my head off.

I don't pull crap like this:

Courtesy of Zach Trover, I've got a piece appearing in today's edition of Kansas City's incredibly well-designed alternative weekly, The Pitch. It's illustrating an erotic hypnotism show going on in the area that week, I based the illustration on the old "X-Ray Glasses" ads from the comics pages.

From The Moth:


Thanks to all of you who've sent me birthday wishes. I've been thinking about legacy and heirlooms and this story seems fitting because it seeps with the ravages that old families do.

Unbelievably, I just realized my voter information was NOT UP TO DATE!

I've been a registered voter in New York State since 2004, so I figured I was all set for November. But I decided to confirm it anyway, because you never know. So I checked, and only THEN did I realize--hey! I've moved apartments since 2004! Would that have affected my ability to place my vote? Who knows? But this is not the kind of election where I want to take chances.

Are YOU registered?

Is YOUR personal info up-to-date?

Are you SURE?
