Rule, Brittaniea! A 10-ticket thrill ride
The Proletariat’s Final Night
I refuse to lament the closing of the Proletariat. For one, I was never fond of the place, and for two, this town needs proper public transportation more that it needs yet another hangout for insufferable hipsters.
What would Jesús bring?
I bravely (foolishly) volunteered on the first night of my short story workshop to turn something in by the following evening so that the group might have something to read over the week and critique at the second class. Not having anything actually prepared, I then had to spend all day Friday writing, and was [...]
One small pleasure
One day last week the girl working the late night drive thru at Taco Cabana delivered to me this compliment: “I like your hair. It looks real silky.” At the time, it had been more than 48 hours since my last shower.
I still hate the State of Louisiana
Joyeux Mardi Gras, mes amis. Here is a video to brighten your day — a brother/sister duo zydeco dancing in their kitchen (via Tiny Lucky Genius).

Yellow is the color of my true love’s hair
Discovering some interesting things about my genetics: Blondes to “die out” in 200 years, (although Snopes seems to think this one’s a fake). All blue-eyed humans share a single common ancestor.
I am not having sex with the guy you broke up with
It was a long, strange weekend. The fact I have only been sleeping about five hours a night does not help. This weekend had the potential to be either extremely awesome or extremely disastrous and it ended up somewhere in between, so that it is now 11:31 p.m. Monday night and I still do not [...]
Women, know your limits!
I was thinking today that regardless of one’s political leanings we should all feel an incredible sense of privilege and responsibility this election year in that we have a 50 percent chance of electing a barrier-breaking candidate. While I don’t necessarily agree with everything MaryT says here, I do have to give her credit for [...]
Chest and Drawers
The vixen wants to take seduction up a notch, but she wants to do it in style. She’s comfortable with herself and isn’t afraid of a little leather or something a little daring, so we’ve chosen these luxurious pieces to compliment her sassy attitude. Guys, be warned: don’t buy these picks unless you’re absolutely certain [...]
Couplings
oo la la how they want me to be blacker and blacker, even Georges, his pipe on the bed stand and his hands all over my naked butt and I just have to make my cheeks tremble there and he will cry out in French as wildly as Genevieve and she will answer from across [...]
Valentine’s Day Victory
Appeals Court overturns Texas’ ban on sex toys, the government gets the hell out of my bedroom. (And yours.)
The Yellow Scale
I had the most fun job interview of my life yesterday. Pray for mojo, friends.
Photos rescued from captivity
I did not go see Dave Eggers speak tonight, instead satisfying myself with a plate of home-made nachos and general slothiness in the aftermath of a long and eventful weekend. I did manage to unearth the USB cable from a yet-to-be-unpacked pile of officewares, thus allowing me to free more than two months’ worth of [...]
Barbed wire
The idea that a married woman and a single man can not be just friends is fucking sexist patriarchal bullshit tripe. This is the Twenty First Century in the Land of The Free, and shame on all you who think otherwise and perpetuate jealousy and divisions between the sexes. Clearly I need some buddies of [...]
Hell to the Yes
I got the job! Details to follow…
Barack Obama bought me candy
I just got home from the Barack Obama Houston rally. I live-blogged it on Twitter but you can read a more thorough account written by someone else on the Chronicle’s political blog (with pictures) here. To sum up my experience — I was hoping for something more along the lines of his New Hampshire primary [...]
Writing links for your weekend perusal
How do you choose to alert people who appear in your books that you are writing about them…? I have been commiserating about the good bad old days with some former coworkers from the newspapers I worked at in Oklahoma. There is a kind of bond, a camaraderie, between those who have weathered the debilitating [...]
Museum museum
It’s a beautiful day outside. I started the morning with a fantastic longer-than usual run down by the bayou, at which point it was already nearly 80 degrees. Came home, showered, resurrected our former long-standing Sunday tradition of riding the scooters to The Black Lab for brunch, sitting outside, morning cocktails. It’s a great day [...]
My glamorous life makes Sheila E. jealous
What has two thumbs, several hundred gem sweaters and is totally awesome? Leslie Hall, whom I’m going to see perform with her band, the LYs, in about 15 minutes. It will be an bitchin’ start to my early weekend. Hence: Tonight’s show comes fresh off a seven-day shift at work, my FIRST seven days at [...]
