I know some of you will immediately say, “Overlooked, my arse!” since it’s on UK Gold regularly. But as the majority of my readers here are Americans, I feel justified in the choice — besides, when do I pass by a chance to share this terrific show? The Royle Family was created by writer/director Caroline…

Humo(u)r
A hasty post as I’m still entertaining my delightful guests, who seem to be having a good time. I know I am, though I’m also aware of my shortcomings as a hostess. I’m used to living on my own, never paying attention to clocks (except once a week 🙂 and not planning ahead. But there’s…
On Tour with the QoE & Marko
Next week, I’ll be back to regular posting, but for now, here’s a nice picture of my guests. We’ll see how many photos they let me post 🙂 probably better when they get over the jet lag. Yes, a picture at Spanish Arch is required of everyone who sets foot in Galway. Tick that box!
Know-vember: The Other Marko
Jeez, now we’re doubling up on entries! Where were you folks at the beginning of the month? I know, I know, everyone’s a last minute Charlie. I couldn’t get Marko to do the question thing, but his evil twin Bizarro Marko AKA Pony Boy has given me his responses. He’s one of the handful of…
Voyage to Connecticut
I met the fabulous Queen of Everything for breakfast at Cafémantic in Willimantic. Quite lovely — never had been there before; it was delightful. Then we headed over to WECS to heckle Marko throughout the Punk Rock Jukebox — I mean, to help promote the Salacious Art show that features some of the QoE’s fine…
Connecticut Adventures + Publication
Well, I ran off on Friday early enough to get to the Punk Rock Jukebox and have a good time aggravating Marko during his show, including decorating him and annotating the walls. Mostly I just giggled in the background while he was trying to talk. Then we ran off to the pub to have some…
Publishing News & Connecticut Bound
Over at Night and Day, The Spectator’s Arts blog, I have an introduction to erotic fiction that will give you some steamy reading for this rainy day. Simon always gives me such interesting assignments; I find it amusing that the newspaper is so conservative and its Arts blog so liberal. Of necessity, this is only…
Euro Punks Exhibit
Wednesday already?! Eek! Madness — this entire week has been, will be, is. Yesterday after the Glass Ceiling talk organized by the Women’s Initiative, I jumped in the car and headed down to Kingston for a reading of a new play at the Arts Society of Kingston. The play was on the life of Margaret…
Happy St. Nick’s Day
Or did you get the Krampus instead? Well, my lovely Krampus chapbook designed by The joey Zone is out of print, but you can hear me read it as a podcast. I hope to scan it and get an electronic version available soon, but things are just so hectic (when is that not true?). I…
Friday’s Forgotten Books: Renegade
“I don’t really write from a solid idea. It’s never that certain at the start. You get to what you’re saying through the writing, the process; and then you move on.” ~ Mark E. Smith http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=magicwombat-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&m=amazon&f=ifr&md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&asins=0141028661 My entry may not really be ‘forgotten’ so much as completely unfamiliar to many. I bought a copy in…
