11/9/07 - There are many reasons why I tolerate - nay, enjoy - having a day job (HackTone Records), and writing press releases like this totally makes that list: Gloves Come Off in Kanye West / Mark Olson Feud

11/6/07 - Holy Wednesday, Batman! Those smarty-pantses at iTunes have selected HackTone Records' very own Mr. Entertainment Sterling Harrison and his "Don't Mess With My Money" as their FREE Discovery Download this week. Click on the song name (in that there sentence before this here sentence) to get your free download. As far as writing stuff goes, I'm editing my roommate's Peace Corps essays and working on a bio and press kit for My Imaginary Friends. No money and no glory, but lots of warm fuzzies. Also, I feel that you should all know about the miraculous instructions for How To Make a Bacon Placemat. Don't say I never gave you anything (meaty).

10/11/07 - On November 26, 2007, I shall be featured on Six Sentences, a very interesting website-slash-writing experiment that forces you to squeeze some sort of compact essence and impact into six sentences. My mini-write is a study in the confluence of rush hour traffic and Michael Jackson. November 26 - go ahead and place the ring-y alarm thing on your iCal right now...er, I already did.

10/9/07 - Perchance it is inspiration drawn from the multitude of Halloween chocolates lining the shelves (and now my stomach), but I've been on a kick lately. I have several smallishly delightful items in the works, but I will wait for confirmation before announcing and subsequently bathing in their glory. In the meantime, console yourself with the Greatest Press Release of All Time, Because It Was Written With Love And The Inspiration of Sirs David Gorman and Steven Chean, for whom I am eternally thankful. Also, visit the hi-lariously insightful blog of Miss Holly Burns, Charleston expatriate of British extraction.

9/23/07 - First off, Happy Birthday to my Spunky Sepultra, Kitty. Yeah, that's code.

Also, I've added something like a billion new blogs. Hint: click blogs above; just be sure you have some popcorn and a glass of whiskey to carry you through some fine reading.

In other news, I'm busy copyediting Issue U of Beautiful/Decay, pimping out the fine sounds of HackTone Records, and being rejected by McSweeney's...again.

6/16/07 - I have spent three months working, sleeping, eating, working, sleeping, eating. A quarter of a year working, sleeping, eating. I would be depressed about that, except for the fact that I just ate some dark chocolate and the happiness that lives in dark chocolate is coursing through my veins like heroin. Wheeeeeee! New developments coming soon...

3/19/07- Oh dear baby Jesus, I took a small break. Moving across the country does a little something to both your free time and your creative output, as well as your wallet. We won't even get into the big, gnarly, gaping hole it leaves in your wallet...the huge, soul-sucking black hole of death it leaves in your wallet...

Henceforth, I'll be returning to the semi-frequent writing and website updating. For your immediate satisfaction, I've included some articles from way back in January - a preview of the sassy little Bible-rific NYC comedy troupe God's Pottery and a piece on The Lemonheads, sans smack. In addition, I've been busting bootie copy editing the next issue of Beautiful/Decay, so keep your peepers peeled.

Oh right...and The Book. It's coming along swimmingly and I should be sniffing agents' asses soon enough. I hope.

1/6/07 - Gettin' settled in Los Angeles after a 5-day trek across the country. I will be working with music licensing biz Sugaroo! and I am the Copy Editor for Beautiful/Decay magazine. I miss the subway.

12/18/06 - Time, she is a-flyin'. Recent works include pieces on the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players (complete with Jason Trachtenburg's assertion that Bono truly believes that he is Christ), Southern Culture on the Skids (can I get gravy with that?), and Rasputina . In other news...you should really ride the Staten Island Ferry at least once in your life. But make sure you get the good one, with the hot dog stand on it and the fancypants 70's bathrooms. Yes, there is a "good one."

11/29/06 -- Here's a little snippet I wrote on The Bravery... in other news, I'm heading to the West Coast at the end of December, bidding adieu to NYC (and more importantly, to winter)...I'll be doing some freelance work for uber-photographer Craig Cameron Olsen...copyediting for Beautiful/Decay...participating in some joint ventures with web designer and pulp photo mistress Mara Taber and more...(and by "more," I mean "adopting some informal exercise regime so as to minimize the effects of my crappy diet, lack of sunlight, and distinct distaste for the gym during the past year...")

11/25/06 -- NEW! Hoobastank preview...also added an article on DCFC from this past spring...besides that, been busy beating poor syntax into the ground and killing off dangling participles. (Copyediting, in normal terms.) Working on updating web copy for dancer/choreographer Bhavani Lee and kickin' it with songstress/lapsteel goddess Megan Hickey of Last Town Chorus. Also, eating a lot. A LOT.

11/16/06 -- New piece on Lucero.

11/14/06 -- On Friday, I copyedited a 100-page coffeetable book for an internationally-recognized non-profit organization. I also got heaps of praise for the recent piece on The Elected, so thankya, thankya. I do what I can.

11/9/06 -- Here's a blog written by Chris Faraone, a writer I met at KCRW's CMJ event for Dan the Automator. Yes, of course I am writing this because I'm mentioned in the damn blog. You should link to my website just like he does. Thank you in advance.

11/8/06 -- New piece in the "Current Words" section - a little sumpthin' I wrote after talking with a rock star who thought he was more sarcastic than I. Ha. Take that, Blake Sennet/Blake Soper/Pinksy from Salute Your Shorts.

11/5/06 -- ...spending my free time at Paragraph, my new home. It's an urban writers' colony of sorts, and I find comfort in the fact that a) I am no longer sitting on my bed while writing, b) that they have free coffee, tea, and candies, and c) I am no longer sitting on my bed while writing. If you, too, lived in a room that is barely wide enough to accomodate a standard-sized bed, you would be as happy as I am, too.
