Wow, it's 3:43 AM and I'm posting--I must be procrastinating. Something I totally forgot about: My writing group The Darling Robots is holding another reading. It's this Saturday, the 7th. We're all doing little stories around the theme of PAC MAN. It's going to be pretty cool. And, of course, I had to do something that was crazy and off the wall, and thus difficult to write. Am I ever nice to myself? No.
Yeah, so my story combines a video game reality of the 1980's with a now dead lady poet from the 1950's. The connections are totally obvious, right?
Well come check it out. It will be a party with lots of bands. I'll post the invitation, but all you really need is the website: Darling Robots.

Darling Robot presents
GHOST BOX: A WAKE FOR PAC-MAN
Video-game icon, power-pellet addict, friend, Pac-Man has chomped his way to the hearts of us all. Generally found now only in the darker reaches of our collective childhood, he paved the way for plumbing twins Mario and Luigi, Sonic the Hedgehog, Zelda and Link (possibly), and even Resident Evil (why not?).
Come celebrate one of last century's yellowest, hungriest, and most consistent entertainers as the Darling Robots share stories, anecdotes and little-known facts from his life--from the time Pac-Man heroically saved six of the rats of NIMH from a burning lab maze to his highly scandalized affair with a Coleco intern.
Featuring performances by:
The Battlecats, Gavin Kroeber, Kimmy Gatewood, Vaginity,
DJ's Peter Hale and Jason Baker
Free Admission, Cheap Booze

Couple of things happened since I last updated; you know, nothing really major. Let's see:
--I've been in a serious relationship for about a year, with this lovely Ladie
--I'm about to graduate school (if I can stop procrastinating, hence the update out of the blue).
--I applied and was "invited" to attend the MFA program in fiction writing at the New School.
And then stuff that nobody cares about, I got slammed with spam on my blogs, so I had to take them down and update and close all the comments. I doubt anyone even noticed. So comments are closed until I get my act together. Feel free to email complaints. Keep the love alive!
