No, probably not. This answer is why I’ve been avoiding this post I’ve been threatening myself to write since C.K.’s Louie premiered on FX, which if you’re not watching you’re missing out on one of the most incredible shows ever. And why I mean incredible is here is a show written, directed, edited, and acted [...]
Some people, believe it or not, like semantic arguments. My friend Cara is one of these people, whose brains sort of open up a little more from semantic dickering, or like who see semantic dickering not as idiotic quests at being Right but rather as quick and fun investigations that yield certain small truths. Behold:

I’ve finished revisions on the taxidermy book, coming in at 87,226 words in 283 pages, plus end notes. So now what? Well, to fill the writing time in the mornings until another longer project came up, I’d planned to write missed-connections ads and post them to Craigslist. These would be mini essays, nonfiction in every [...]
It’s not my best title, but I’ve got an essay up in the new issue of Noö. That is, the new Noö. It’s about a single night I spent with a friend on a cross-country trip taken so long ago it feels like ancient history. Thanks to Adam for asking me to be a part [...]
Lots of times, or well maybe back in the day more, you hear about certain people’s writing being like other writers on various chemical substances. He writes like Aimee Bender on acid. It’s like Jonathan Safran Foer on steroids. But when you think about it, those actual circumstances would be insufferable. Who wants to hang [...]
My laptop crashed again. I just got it back today. I filed my dissertation last week. It’s a story collection titled The ‘I’ of My Story. I’m aware of this title’s poorness. I went to the AWP Conference in Denver last week. Thanks to everyone who stopped by The Cupboard‘s shared table with Octopus Books, [...]
You’ve listened to his mixtapes, now look at his photographs. My pal Steve toys, oh, let’s say semiannually with an honest-to-goodness Web blog/journal of writing, and but until we get some commitment on that end, what luck that he’s consistent about updating his Tumblr photo blog. They’re really good, right? What I like about Steve’s [...]

Let me know anything you may want to know about Chicago O’Hare Airport’s Terminal 2 because after visiting it eight times in under three weeks I think I know a good deal about it. There’s a McDonald’s at the terminal’s groin over there; a Chili’s Too where a bartender named George (pretty sure, who bears [...]
weird-science verb, trans. 1. to fashion an object out of thin air, or to improve the general quality of a pre-existing object, using the vague powers that have seemingly been placed within you by a pair of horny experimenting teens: I’m starving; it’d be great if someone could weird-science me a pizza | Huh, this [...]

I. One of the effects of being on the academic job market as I’ve been since, oh, September, is that you stop thinking. You stop engaging in much else around you that’s not an academic job posting, or a certain wiki. Your loved ones suffer and your liked ones do. Your students. And but it’s [...]

Maybe we don’t have to choose. Or maybe some don’t. I chose Alabama. Suck it, Texas.
Not in chronological order: Terminator: Salvation Miracle on 34th Street (original) Home for the Holidays The Marc Pease Experience The Brothers Bloom xXx Alice (Svankmejer, dir.) Inglorious Basterds (sic, pending) What else is there to do when it’s single-digits and snowdrifted outside?

World Wrestling Entertainment has a position open for a creative writer. I’m getting a PhD soon in creative writing. It seems like a natural fit. One needs to both live in or near Stamford, Conn., and also be willing to travel (supposedly for last-minute script changes?). They require three to five years TV production or [...]
On Labor Day, 2009, I lost my camera (sorry, Mom!) and the day after Thanksgiving, 2009, it was found (thanks, N!). Here’s what you (and I) missed: Thanksgiving weekend roundup to come.
Just found out that my short pedagogy paper (see above title) was accepted for the pedagogy panels at the 2010 AWP conference. It’s in Denver in April. It’s not a terribly huge thing (dozens upon dozens of people get accepted), but still nice to hear. Here are the basics of the thing I’ll be presenting: [...]
Herndon, Virginia, the town I’m from, has been popping up in the oddest places lately. First on Patton Oswalt’s DVD Werewolves and Lollipops, and now on passiveaggressivenotes.com one of the blogs I semi-frequent. The site’s a depository for people to send in scans/photos of notes they’ve found or been left that usually form some kind [...]
