Give Me the Bad News First

I've been away for far too long. It seems I can only devote myself to one creative outlet at a time and lately it's been prose.  But the keyboard is there, looming.

This past week has been a blur of family, friends, and sunshine-- the best kind of blur. I was in Florida for purposes of pumpkin-pie-consumption and partying down at LK's film premiere.  The premiere was a smashing success and the after party was the stuff that dreams are made of.

Pretty people and good music make for easy video, even on a four-year-old Canon Powershot. This video was made by yours truly:

And after a week of flip flops and suntans, I came home... to this:

Oh, Wisconsin. How you sadden me sometimes.

On a brighter note, I was surprised and thrilled to learn that "Something to Humble Me" hit thesixtyone homepage again this week!

How lovely!

In Which I Am At Last Recognized for My Many Varied Achievements

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow dudes and ladies!

While you were all stuffing your faces with mashed potatoes and watching disturbingly large likenesses of cartoon characters meander down a city street, I was engaging in one of my all-time favorite activities.

That's right. Air travel.

Rest assured that good times were had by all, including-- but not limited to-- the gentleman from Minneapolis who had many, many questions about the book I was reading and who also apparently thought "Seat 27E" was secret code for "Seat 27E and also half of Seat 27F". It's cool, I enjoy scrunching against the window like this.

But hey, good news! I just found out that I won an award! And if there's one thing I like? It's awards.

It's the Artists' Choice award from MaxBumps.net and I couldn't be more excited if it was a national holiday and I had leftover pumpkin pie in the fridge.

Oh, wait. It is... and I do.

BEST. DAY. EVER.
