The King

Posted on February 27, 2013 by erineph

I’m still trying to get through the list of books I posted in January. An unexpected library hold became available and set me back a little, but I’m motoring pretty steadily through “Jitterbug Perfume” and loving it. Thankfully, because I’ve … Continue reading →

Get Down Stay Down

Posted on February 25, 2013 by erineph

I posted another album review today, which means I wrote it a couple of weeks ago (barely making deadline, cough cough) and my editor put it up today. Which is how it always works, but on the days something goes … Continue reading →

Your Conclave is Totally Gayballs

Posted on February 23, 2013 by erineph

Not only is Gay Conclave an excellent hipster band name, but it’s apparently also the reason the Pope is resigning. On the day the Pope announced his resignation, he received a report that was (somehow) related to the theft of … Continue reading →

In the Belly of the Coach

Posted on February 21, 2013 by erineph

Of Course Of Course

Posted on February 17, 2013 by erineph

I Bag of You

Posted on February 16, 2013 by erineph

The Cheese Road

Posted on February 14, 2013 by erineph

I recently found another route home from work. It takes about the same amount of time, but it’s not on the interstate which means there’s no braking suddenly at 70mph to make my butthole clench into something resembling a knot … Continue reading →

The Pope Formerly Known As the Pope

Posted on February 12, 2013 by erineph

This past weekend was Mardi Gras in St. Louis. Well. It was Mardi Gras all over the drunk and/or Catholic world, but St. Louis is particularly drunk and Catholic, and also it has the benefit of a French Quarter. Seattle…um … Continue reading →

I Decline on Behalf of Humanity

Posted on February 8, 2013 by erineph
