I’m writing this directly into the edit window. It’s weird. I never do this anymore. Diaryland has burned me too many times, but since I’m in a hotel room on a ridiculously expensive internet connection, I’m feeling a little, oh, how shall we say, rebellious. I’m in Shermer, Illinois, by the way. Well, not really, […]
It seems that one of my ideas has been noticed by brass and now I will be traveling to the corporate headquarters for weeks at a time throughout spring semester. Which is really cool, because hello IKEA and Nordstrom and Trader Joes, but also sort of not cool because a) more work, b) not enough […]

Yea tho it is January, I will schlepp myself to the website and update. Even though I have not even an ounce of originality in my entire gross national product of a body (hi, Slimfast? You taste like loose leaf paper. You’re making me salivate when I hear Ovaltine commercials and my god, one of […]

Now that the holidays are over, it is business as usual at Chez Bix (I always imagine that this is pronounced with a heavy Frahnch assent, like Shay Beaks) with one exception: I am fully engaged and working in my very own office. Esteban told Mopie that I was nesting, to which I replied ‘Oh […]
