Life Imitating Art, Part Deux
I know a bloke who knows a bloke who knows a bloke. Now I know this bloke. This is a bloke I know. First hand actually, not thrice removed but I just love that line from Sexy Beast. Bloke stops into a hospital walk-in clinic last week, to check out some nagging ear pain. The examination proceeds and includes...

Life Imitating Art. I think.
Last night, someone told me they'd read a recent news story about a guy who'd been repeatedly checked in to a hospital (or hospitals) for a series of overdoses, each time with a new identity. Sounds like a great idea for a novel, but I haven't had any luck finding the actual story online. If you're bored at work and...

Slow News Day
Since that's the case, I'm not gonna bore you with mindless filler. Gabor's got four more panels of his graphic novel rendition of The Contortionist's Handbook here for the viewing. Spread the word and I'll be back in a couple of weeks with more.

Sexo. Drogas. Aventura.
That's from the back jacket copy of Sob Mil Disfarces, the recently released Brazilian Portugese version of The Handbook. The title translates roughly as, "Under a Thousand Disguises." (cont'd.)

There's No Such Thing as a Passive Verb

A moment of silence for the passing of Bug, my feline companion in Austin, Texas, who kept my pillow warm and myself awake out of pure affection, and Wolfgang, who survived more in one lifetime than most cats survive in all nine,...

So Dull the Con of Code
I'm a bit late on this one but, here are the latest four pages of the Handbook graphic novel. I'd meant to post this yesterday, as 5/16 is a significant date in the Handbook... if memory serves me, I believe it's one of John Vincent's release dates from juvie. It also happens to be my younger brother's birthday and,...

Fun with Duct Tape
There's a drain in the floor of the white tile bathroom. Not in the shower, but in the middle of the floor, which leads me to believe the masons and carpenters of yore had some scary precognition about the accidents which would send some unlucky souls missing, post check-in, and figured they'd make clean up easier for the trigger men so...

Dispatches from the Road: Los Angeles Times Festival of Books
Worked the bar Thursday night and hopped a plane for L.A. on Friday morning, which meant little sleep before grabbing my "small black, muddy bag beaten shapeless by a few hundred thousand miles" and hopping the BART to the Oakland airport, to then sit on board a cramped and noisy cropduster for an hour and...
