The Greatest List Ever (or at least since my last list)

2012-05-16T16:21:39Z

This week's column, An Obsessive's Guide to 30 Things Worth Obsessing About. If everyone I know reads it and sends it to everyone they know, Facebook just might explode. And then I'll be forced to start hectoring people on the street again. Also, stuff about cough syrup.

At The Mic

2012-05-14T19:33:10Z

Here is the slightly awkward interview at the Literary Lions event that so very many people have been giving me a landslide of shit about (doesn't anyone sleep anymore?) At and rate, I figure you gotta own it. And own it hard. Besides, I never once claimed to be on-air talent. More like on ludes talent. Selah.

Men

The Thirteen Types of Men You Should Hate as Much or More Than The Men You Pretty Much Already Instinctively Hate. My new post over at Theweeklings.com

School Visit

2012-05-08T02:14:17Z

Great visit at Mr. Rose's Shoreline High creative writing class. There were at least two Wesley Payne fans, and everyone really seemed to dig the trailer. Thanks, guys, it was a lot of fun! (Mr. Rose is a writer, check out his new book coming soon!) Also, let me know who wins the t-shirt!

Run That Blade

2012-05-02T17:45:50Z

I'm at a party and have a few drinks then start loudly deconstructing the sexy parts of Blade Runner. My new essay at The Weeklings.com gives voice to this singular embarrassment.

School Library Love

Killer preview of The Infects in School Library Journal, as part of a run down of the entire Candlewick Press fall slate. Zombies are coming. Very, very soon. Check it out here.

A Cold Hard Bite

2012-04-25T18:32:35Z

I meet the World's Greatest Author on the hard streets of San Francisco, and almost lose a finger. Check out my new Wednesday column, A Cold Hard Bite of Steel over at The Weeklings.com

Wednesday

My first post is now up at The Weeklings, where I'll appear every Wednesday. It's called The Dozens. Check it out.

The Weeklings!

2012-04-17T16:43:28Z

Hey, check out this new site going live right now. 7 authors, 7 essays, one per day. The fabulous Greg Olear, Diana Spechler, Elissa Schappell, and Jennifer Kabat are also manning specific days. Like it. Love it. Forward it. Read it. Oh, by the way, I am known on the site as The Hump.

The Hunger Games

2012-04-09T04:38:53Z

Is The Hunger Games worth reading if you're over eighteen? One Time magazine columnist dares to say no. If fact, he thinks you're a douche if you do. I couldn't help but respond.

Dear Sean

2012-04-04T16:24:14Z

Hey, I have an essay in this great anthology coming out this fall. What did I say to my (wise young tool) teen self? You gotta pre-order that action to find out. Proud to be a part of this extremely funny and interesting book. Check it.

Kony

Just a small piece I wrote about the KONY video over at The Nervous Breakdown.

Scorcese lite

Check out this great video made by some Wesley Payne fans. The acting! The soundtrack! The camera! The punch sound effects! I can't tell where they're from or what their names are, but I totally love it. And don't miss the blooper reel!

Things that are fairly impossible #73: failing to look like a tool on a recumbent bike.
