New Project: "The French Quarter 100: A Drinking...
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a novelist. Forget cowboys and doctors and lawyers and such: I wanted to be the Madeleine L’Engle of my generation.
This did not happen.
This did not happen because eventually I realized that I can do short stories and essays and the occasional one-act play, but I probably don’t have the ability/interest/desire to pull off a full-length work of...

French Fashion Chain La Redoute Uses Naked Guy in...
Sex sells, but French fashion chain La Redoute’s laissez-faire attitude to nudity is a little de trop even for Gallic tastes. The retailer’s website shocked visitors with an image of a naked man frolicking in the sea in the background of a children’s clothing shoot. The picture shows four adorable Redoute-clad children lined up on the sand, smiling at the camera and seemingly...
New Year's Day, 2012
I conk out on the sofa at 2:00am, watching an obscure, animated film by Hayao Miyazaki on my laptop. The sound’s a little off, and the drawing is clunky, but the story is amazing. It just goes to show how far a good plot will get you.
A hundred yards away, at the bar on the corner, a girl sits nursing a beer. She’s about as old as the film I’ve been watching. She was bordering...

The problem with Skyrim, or, When I have to search...
All cards on the table: I’m a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls series. I spent months playing Morrowind and even longer on Oblivion. When it comes to sandbox games, few can top these for the breadth of possibilities they offer.
However, the Elder Scrolls series isn’t without its problems, and although Skyrim has received loads of accolades, I think it may be the worst of the bunch....
Rick Perry Has A Weakness For Bears
At Sisters Mainstreet Café in Spencer this morning, Perry made the rounds glad-handing with the coffee shop patrons and stopped when he set his eyes on one voter with a long white beard.
“We got you a lot going on there,” Perry said as he tugged at the man’s beard. “You’ve got a good full one.”
Shortly after, at his second event at La Chiesa in Spencer, Perry approached another voter who bore...
