Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Yes, I may have two musical recommendations here within days of each other...but...well...you look funny...

Me in roger, an art & literary magazine

So my short story "The Villain" is in the current issue of roger, an art & literary magazine. I'm in there with luminaries like Aaron Hellem, Don Mager, and some nobody called Pablo Neruda.

Only For Now

So the other night we went to see Avenue Q. An adult send-up of Sesame Street and the Electric Company, what could be better? Though it makes me call into question why I waste my time scribbling here when as Trekkie Monster says "The Internet is for porn!"

Get to know Unknown Hinson

Saw Unknown Hinson (a.k.a. the voice of Early Cuyler on Squidbillies) the other night. After the plus-sized burlesque opening act, he did a two hour show. With show stoppers like "Fish Camp Woman." Possibly the best rocka-gotha-billy I've ever seen live.

Me on Monkeybicycle II: This Time It's Undead

Speaking of zombies--and when are you not?--my short story "The Zombie That Ate the Last Person Alive" is up on the incomparable Monkeybicycle. I'm happy to be appearing there again.

Home from the Emerald Isle and convalescing from the jet lag. On the plane, I finished David Jack Bell's thrilling novel The Condemned.

Blarney, All Blarney
