Sometimes the sailor, sometimes the giant squid. Theater, fiction, and various other arts are sold surreptitiously from a big overcoat I wear on even the hottest days and nobody suspects a thing.

If there were ever a rationale in her divine plan for creating norovirus, the weekend before Thanksgiving might well be it.

I get a wide assortment of weird emails but I was still surprised by my disappointment when I was informed "Wicked Wise Women had dropped" and it turned out to be for a Kristen Chenoweth Barbie.

Sitting outside by a fire with good whisky after buying a pair of pumpkins, all right and proper for the first weekend in October. When I see people rushing to buy Pumpkin Spice anything in mid-August I always wonder "Why are you in such a rush to die?"

"Black Rabbit" is like something created by an AI trained on the last five years or so of inexplicably popular television. It's a crime drama about a restaurant which should be pure me-chow but instead mostly feels like 8 hours of Jude Law's face and Jason Bateman running.

I cannot help but enjoy cities whose primary industries seem to be haunting, chaos, and a bit of noir. Not all of them would work for me as home, but New Orleans, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and even Portland all scratch that itch. Anyone have others they love?

I've been binge-watching "And Just Like That" the last few days and honestly? I like it so much better than the original "Sex in the City."

You're supposed to say "Break a leg" to actors because you genuinely want them to do well. When I say "Break a leg" to civilians, it might be genuinely be because they deserve a nice spiral fracture.

I suppose the one nice thing about being a niche playwright is even AI doesn't give a shit about theater.

I've been spending time with someone whose family is so Old-Maine they didn't really choose it. The borders fell where they landed; they just stayed put. They have a lot to say about the kind of folks who do well here and thems that don't. Been thinking about that dividing line a lot lately.

I hid food from myself like a squirrel which is why at 11:15pm on a rainy night, I am basically a fricken genius.

I occasionally worry about the buildup of scar tissue making it too hard for art to get through the mess of me and really twist my heart again. Then some artist or writer walks through me like my mother through a screen door and, nope, still as soft as ever.

The trolling of WNBA games isn’t just juvenile spectacle. It’s the logical endpoint of a culture fluent in irony, addicted to attention and hollowed out by meaninglessness

In the past week, I have purchased online:
*A working 1/6 scale Zoltar machine (it dispenses tickets!)
*A pound of gelatin
*Chicory
*Book by a North Shore sex worker titled "Welcome to My Gaping Masshole"
*Biscuits and sausage gravy
Either I have a problem or it's going to be one hell of a party.

Let it be known to all, that on this night, I Have Fixed the Kitchen Sink. It involved Tools. It involved Time. It involved Feats of Improvisation, Flexibility, and Good Humor.
If that kind of thing floats your boat, hey, I've got a sink!

There's a fairly high-profile murder in the news up here and today, the comments section of the local station yielded this:
"Anyone willing to take the life of another, shouldn't have the right to breath"

Were I a student of Zen, now would be the time I hung my sandals off my ears.

When troops march in and drag many @mainepublic.org listeners off to "Squirrel Shawshank" or whatever horrorshow they build in some blackfly backwater of Maine, today's show, "Quilts...because we couldn't be more disengaged" I'm sure will be a great comfort.

This was one of those songs that stuck its thumb in the wet putty of my adolescent brain. I spent hours wondering, who were the boys? Where did they go when they weren't in town? Why were they looking for me?
Of course, I now know the boys were tourist douchebros and pray fervently for September.

It was clearly Friday night, my dear Watson, evidenced by their style of dress: to kill, as it were. And this napkin, only found at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill--on its frayed edges we can see there was drink flowing and blood spilling. Yes without a doubt the boys are back in town, Watson, it's elementary.
