THE TIGER DIARIES, PART THREE

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Today’s blog comes to you FROM VEGAS, as promised. I Twittered this picture on my arrival, but Twitter ATE IT. So I want to put it here so you can see just how awesome it is:

Aw HELL yeah!
From my window, I can see a fake Manhattan skyline, real desert mountains, the Eiffel Tower, and a [...]

THE TIGER DIARIES, PART TWO

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Yesterday, I presented part one of an account I wrote of my week working in Vegas. This happened several years ago, when I was a graduate student and would do absolutely anything for money.The story began with a little glimpse of the chaos that began on day three. (And truthfully, day three is where it [...]

EGG DAY

Monday, April 13th, 2009

So, I was getting off the train in Philadelphia, and I was standing in the vestibule between the cars, and the conductor turns to me.

When I suffer duress in the presence of my agent, I will sometimes refer to myself [...]

THE LOVE BLOG, VOL. 1

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Every year, come February, people are filled with questions about the nature of love. Personally, I would have tried to skip over Valentine’s Day, but my birthday falls just two days after (today, the 16th). I am, in essence, a creature of Valentine’s Day. Cupid himself, the fat little monster, presided over my birth. So [...]

DUDE, WHERE’S THE PIRATE PARTY?

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

So, I’m sitting here at my desk in New York, eating these chocolate stick things that Sarah Mlynowski gave to me earlier tonight when we were discussing the Law and Order presidential candiate situation, which obviously concerns us both, as we both dream of being dead bodies someday. (On Law and Order.) So much to [...]
