Thanks to the fabulous Pam Grossman mentioning this in an interview, I have been recharged by the great quote from the always delightful Tori Amos: “You have to out-create the destruction – it’s the only way.” (By the by, have you been listening to Native Invader? It’s really terrific.) I realise that this is what…

Writer Wednesday: Recommended
From pal Samuel Walker on Facebook: Dublin street art. What a great idea! I may need to do something similar. Hmmm, QR codes on promo postcards? Might be the way to go. You have checked out the QR code on the sidebar, right? Scroll down. I thought today I would point you toward some things…
Review: Hunger Games
Big thanks to the lovely Maura who’s off in London Inverness (hopefully winning an Eagle for Jennifer Wilde next month) who not only persuaded me to head out to see the film, but introduced me to the swank G Hotel, a remnant of the Celtic Tiger where some fabulous drinks in classy surroundings were to…
AudioBoo: Moths
One touch easy recording, that’s what an Audio Boo claims to be. So I had to try it out on my new shiny toy. This is a poem that’s supposed to be appearing in a magazine at some point but that was about a year ago that they said so, thus I wonder if it…
BitchBuzz: You Can’t Erase Your Past on the Internet

I am not a Cowgirl; I am not a Quilter
But I guess that doesn’t matter.
BitchBuzz: Good Witch/Bad Witch
My latest column engages with an old topic: Christine O’Donnell: Good or Bad Witch? If you were living under a rock you might have missed the fact that television personality and part-time poker of hot topics, Bill Maher, resurrected footage from a decade or so ago showcasing rabid right-wing American Senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell, darling…
BitchBuzz: Tubes
I had tried to call my latest column for BitchBuzz “Strong Men Also Cry” because it’s always good to make a Lebowski reference, but from the start, it was really all about the tubes: What is it with men and tubes? Particularly when they’re men who hold powerful offices and feel the need to wield…
The 11th Carnival of Feminists
Drop by the 11th Carnival of Feminists and see me there as one of the revelers writing about BitchBuzz, blogging and gender! Read all the entries and leave comments so folks know they have been heard. Thanks! Working on my syllabuses today: revising one, creating the other out of whole cloth. Now where are all…
