Dudes, Dudettes, and Gentle Inbetweenies, Today I call on you for the good of the kingdom. For there is an evil that must be slain, and you, my band of psychos, are the only ones who can do it. Okay, fine. It’s not really all that evil. And nothing has to be slain. I wrote
I’ve never been a fan of clothes shopping. I hate it, in fact. Clothes serve a utilitarian purpose, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s all. That means two things. One, I usually look like a bum.

First, a short announcement: I received word today that work has officially begun on the cover art for my novel. Exciting news to be sure. Other than that very general news, I’m keeping the other information (like *who* is doing the artwork) close to my chest. And now back to your regularly scheduled program. It’s
Like many others, I went into this movie expecting something of a B-horror screamer. Instead, what I found was a comedic, theatrical play (with sets, lighting, and all) about love.
