If you’re looking for the Holiday Card Exchange FAQ, it’s here. I just came back from seventeen days of travel. Three days in Everwood, UT, hanging out with Jake, which was a whirlwind of zombies, cake, tea parties and arguments about whether another friend was hiding a thirteen year old child in her studio apartment […]
I’m a strong believer in karma. I think the universe abhors a vacuum, which is good when it comes to my belief that every no you hear means you are one step closer to a Yes, but bad when it seems as though the universe sets forth a correction in a strong series of calamities. […]

Are you ready for some shameless self-promotion? Because here it comes: Oh! This is cool: I gave up my half-hearted attempt at keeping myself quasi-anonymous on Facebook and set up an actual That’s My Bix Facebook account.

Watch out, Robyn, it’s another writing-heavy entry. So, last week, the issue #12 of the wonderful Drunken Boat dropped. It includes a story of mine. You should go read it! It’s free! Another thing that happened last week: I’ve been toying with the idea of taking a PhD level writing workshop with Dr. OHenry in […]

A few years ago, Esteban and Scotty Boom Boom experienced a bit of an obstacle to their home brew hobbying: there was a hops shortage. Hops! Why wasn’t this a major headline in the news as the banks were crumbling? Think of the beer, people! The BEER! They solved it, much in the way of […]

The above photo was taken a few weeks ago, as I was driving through a neighborhood in Milwaukee trying to find a place to do a legal U Turn. I shouted “WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?” and my passenger Suzanna Danna curled into a fetal position and just started murmuring “No no no no make […]

My biggest problem with writing seems to be the fear that the act of writing itself will somehow not be as good as whatever supposed brilliance is floating around my noggin. That is, of course, stupid, because how would I know? And yet, half the problem with This Thing I’m Writing is just the simple […]
