Okay, here’s a confession. Even though I was surrounded by a dozen or so intelligent readers and writers at Hypster Mom’s Lit Salon, the only thing I wanted to talk about was Vodo & The Big Ticket. And now as I’m typing this I have no idea why I didn’t take a picture. I wrote [...]

Defending my turf
It’s hard to walk into Supergenius HQ and not talk about books. Instead of art, I have books. Instead of a TV bigger than a postage stamp, I have books. Instead of a clean, clutter free space, I have some more books.
There are a lot of books and generally when people come over for [...]

At 2:41 a.m. on November 17th my much-adored and most-beloved coworker Al, the cutest girl on earth&trade became the cutest mom on earth&trade. Baby Gus is here! It will be hard to stop calling him Quixote since that was the [...]

ray is one of my BFFs circa 1994. we seem to bounce in and out of each other’s [...]

the jeff johnson discovery
i’ve been completely enamoured with Jane magazine since it debuted like in 1997. it really isn’t your cheezy, typical woman’s magazine at all. really, it’s not. you know how cosmo and glamour are like seventeen and ym for older girls? jane’s not like that at all. not at all!
so a [...]
