I’d really like Weird Al to parody songs from my youth, like Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9 in D minor," Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik," or Gok's "Beating on Rock with Mammoth Tusk."

This summer, I wrote a memoir (all but the final chapter; it hasn't happened yet) because I was going through fiction doldrums. I'm back, and 10,000 words into my next horror novel. Summers are good.

There needs to be a class for every electrical engineering degree that teaches the physics of pouring water into a coffee maker, and then the coffee into a cup, because every coffee maker I've ever owned is shit. Water and coffee everywhere but where they're supposed to be.
