Single Blessedness and Alcoholic Pianos
Lately, I have observed more and more couplings amongst my friends, a phenomenon that tends to occur this time of year. I blame it on our northeast winters; they can take a toll on your soul, for certain. And as Bette Davis tells us, "bundling is a New England custom, both honored and revered." Or something along those lines.
However, as everyone's favorite "perpetual single" I tough it out alone with a little help from my good pal, Mr. Tom Waits.
How I adore all that "midnight howlin' at the moon" business. Of course, the logical follow-up to this would be a rousing rendition of "The Piano Has Been Drinking."

Marxist Dedication
"This book was written in those long hours I spent waiting for my wife to get dressed to go out. And if she had never gotten dressed at all, this book would never have been written."
From 1963's Memoirs of a Mangy Lover by Groucho Marx.
Lots of highbrow reading here this week at Tabloid Mags.

Postmodern Fortune Cookie
"The nearness of happiness always reawakens the anxiety of puberty."
From Fragments: Cool Memories III, 1990-1995 by my now-deceased French postmodern philosopher boyfriend, Jean Baudrillard.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot
The always-fantastic Dan Wilcox wrote a nice roundup of the shenanigans that occurred at Daniel Nester's Albany book launch party October 23. I happened to make a cameo, Benatar boots and all.
Speaking of which, if you haven't yet bought the Amazon top 100 seller in American humor, How To Be Inappropriate, I highly suggest you do so. You may just see my name in the credits.
