(Sorry, Paula Cole, but you made it too easy.)
Sometimes, amidst the vast activity that’s consumed my life this summer - two writing classes; a full-time job plus a pleasantly welcomed bounty of freelance work; training (see below!), eating and sleeping; and, occasionally, breathing - I often forget that I have this website (or, blog, whatever). [...]

I was one of four lucky participants in the third rendition of Opium Magazine’s Literary Death Match, held last Wednesday at eponymous Enormous Room. Though I didn’t win (and I’ll spare any qualms against being paired up against a heavily published BU professor - truly, it was an honor), I enjoyed not just the performance [...]

Out of the kindness of his heart, Opium Magazine founder and editor, Todd Zuniga, has selected me to participate in its latest rendition of the now infamous Literary Death Match.

First and foremost, Happy New Year! 2009 brought a venerable mix of weather; I’m looking forward to what 2010 has in its cards for me.
Second, and since I’ve been horrible about making all of those promised changes to the site layout, I’ll continue to update the site with my standup schedule - which, to date, [...]

It’s incredible how a guest post on another person’s blog can boost my site analytics. If you’re interested in reading the full article, check out: Meeting Up: The New Black.
Oh, and if you’re interested in seeing me perform my (still very green) stand up comedy, I’ll be at:
December 11th at Great Scott, 7 P.M.

Though I was technically born three days early, I’m chronically 15 minutes late - to appointments, to brunches, to dates - one might say tardiness is my signature scent. I’ll bat an apologetic lash and shrug a flirtatious mea culpa when sliding into the back pew at a wedding or dashing through a door at [...]

“Are you sure you’re in the right place, dear?”
A woman with greying hair, a turtleneck and a no-nonsense set of freshly sharpened pencils glanced at my peach tote bag crammed with my laptop, a handful of borrowed books and a copy of season 3 of Sex and the City poking loudly out the top. I, [...]

I called my friend B. this afternoon to complain about the newest dilemma I had wrenched myself into. B. is a very smart guy, not just because he went to an Ivy League university, but because he exercises logic in times of disarray, an activity that I, no matter how hard I try, can [...]
