You best be clicking that shit right now.

I’m packing to go back to NYC and it’s roughly somewhere between three and four hundred degrees in my parents’ house. My shoes are getting scrambled and my clothes are lightly sauteed, which is how I like them.

Here are some words about me and the audio from my radio appearance on Bill Clevlen’s show last night.

I agreed to take Bill’s “Clevlen Quiz” on the air tonight. You can listen at AM 550 KTRS at 6:40 PST tonight or watch live at Billstrivianight.com

Excellent work! I’ll be seeing some of these band members tonight!

You guys, the super awesome Joe just set the bar extremely high by making this adorable video which had me laughing out loud. Out loud, I say!

As you all know, there was a disastrous attempt to make Christmas mice cookies. Well I’m now in California, where the air is thankfully not thick with the shame of floppy cookies, and so I’m thinking I’ll attempt the starchy rodents once more for a party I’m attending on Sunday.

At least, that’s what I was thinking and then I started poking around the internet looking for a good recipe and shit howdy, the world of Christmas mice is complicated and multilayered and it’s possible I’ve stumbled on some kind of secret society. I mean, first of all, there’s a fundamental divide in the world of Christmas mice because there are the cookie mice but then there are these candy-cookie-mice things.

They’re made with a chocolate dipped cherry and a chocolate kiss. Should I go this route?

Here’s the alternative, or something a little closer to it: (more…)

I’ve had to memorize copious amounts of text in the last two days—text which I’ll likely forget just as soon as I regurgitate it in front of a camera—but when I say regurgitate I mean with passion and conviction, sort of like a really violent episode of food poisoning, but sexier, and anyway the point is that my brain is stuffed with all these words and I’m pretty sure some vital info may have been jettisoned in order to accommodate all the new paragraphs so if you see me wandering around confused, shaking my phone unsure how to answer it, pawing mutely at elevator doors, drooling in front of escalators, throwing my upper body at clothing in a vain attempt to put on my coat, just know that I can tell you a lot about about other stuff but that I don’t remember what a fork is or where I live.

Hey everyone. I have many important announcements.

1) Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. Mine was good save for the marshmallow disaster which I will surely tell you about one day over a warm mug of Postum or perhaps at our next slumber party.

2) Okay this next tidbit is going to hurt a little bit however because I’ll be aloft in an airplane tomorrow night there won’t be a Ustream show. I realize this is going to throw a monkeywrench into your Wednesday night. Blame the laws of physics, I know I do.

3) But wipe away your tears because perhaps I will reschedule that show as a surprise.

4) But it’s possible I won’t in which case the next show will be the following Wednesday and boy howdy, it’ll be a doozy. Seriously.

5) I think I’d be remiss if I didn’t make my somewhat predictable vacation apology for not writing more often. All sorts of merriment and whimsy has been happening around me, I mean, I’m practically Patient Zero for whimsical merrymaking and I’ve been tracking it on Twitter. I doubt anyone reading this isn’t following me on Twitter but if you aren’t, go check that action because there’s all sorts of delightful ephemera over there including photos. In other news, I know big words. So but anyway what I wanted to say was once I get back to New York I’ll be returning to the regularly scheduled pith and mirth you’ve grown accustomed to.

6) Anything else? Hm.

7) I guess not.

If the above doesn’t play, view it here.

Wondering more about the drama surrounding labeling? Here’s the backstory.

And since it came up in an earlier part of the show, here are some old photos.
