About Me

I am an author. Or a writer. Or a novelist? What's the right label? I have also worked in marketing, but I am trying to become less dependent on that as my means of income. I also tend to use phrases like "hotter than a biscuit" and "under the bus" (as in being thrown under).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mariska Hargitay. Tina Fey. Ira Glass. Christina Kelly. Jennifer Jason Leigh. The cast of "Weeds." Cameron Crowe. Alexander Payne. Chris Martin. Al Gore. Damien Rice. Paul Feig. Sarah Silverman. Kyra Sedgwick. Actually I'd like her to be in the movie version of my second novel, along with Judy Greer. Oh wait. Was this more like "(People) I'd like to meet... on MY SPACE"??? Oops.

A Shot of Portland with a Side of Seattle

The good news: a little R&R in the Pacific Northwest proved to be just what the doctor ordered. The bad news: there's a good chance that I may no longer have a functioning liver after said week, but h...

Say Anything

What I really need right now is a Lloyd Dobler moment, and by that, I mean a grand gesture, a pledge allegiance to the flag of SG, so to speak - boom box and Peter Gabriel optional. It's been a rough...

I Saw the Sign (with Apologies to Ace of Base)

Sunday Afternoon

Per the advice of our newtrainer, I've been taking Awesome-O for longer walks in the morning, instead of several short ones. This is, of course, easier to do now in 55+ degrees, vs. in the 8" of snow ...
