Okay, Joke’s Over. It’s April!
Ha, ha Mother Nature! You sure got us here in Minnesota. It was a well-played joke and we all had a laugh as we slipped and slid on the 8 inches of snow you dumped on us. The lady with the mint green minivan was doubling over in a gale of giggles as it went off of Radio Drive into …
Non-Fiction Nugget News
Hey Tappers,
Just a quick little bit of info to pass on. I was just officially ‘assigned’ a book from the people at Picture Window Books (the same cats who published Patrick’s Super Socks) to write a non-fiction picture book about Mount Rushmore. The kicker? I’ve got to have it ready for action by May 15th.
It should be interesting …
Quirks – Part 1
Do you ever step outside of yourself, have a good look and think: Seriously. Who is this person of meat I inhabit? What is up with me? Do I really exist like this? And what is UP with the Tic-Tac obsession?
Friends, I have many quirks. Too many to name, actually…but, I thought it might be interesting to examine some …
The Video? Well, Okay…
Okay, so I’m TOTALLY putting my pride on the line here, but I guess I’m a sucker for sharing stuff. Remember how I was pretty much AWOL the last couple o’ weeks? You know, a piddly little post here, a contest over there? Well, I’m prepared to show you a piece of what I was up to.
You see, we …
Contest! You Cool? Then Haiku!
People of the internet!
It’s time. Time to unleash my first contest here on good ol’ Tappity Tappity. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to do to give away a copy of my little book Patrick’s Super Socks and due to budget and time constraints, I couldn’t do the super, awesome contest to end all contests that …
Ogggg… OR I’m Tired: the Sequel
Good morning Tappers.
Hey, is that condecending? You know, that I call my (2-3) readers Tappers? There’s another blog I read sometimes and the author calls her readers a certain name and I sort of find it condecending a little bit. I don’t think it’s so much that she has a name for her readers as much as it’s the …
Oops, I Did It Again.
Man, what a dumb word: Oops!
“Oops, I accidentally dropped a 40 megaton bomb on the state of New Mexico.”
“Oops, I guess that pistol WAS loaded.”
“I just fired myself out of a cannon into a cauldron of hot, bubbly magma. Oops.”
Anyway, I just thought I should come right out and tell you that I don’t know when …
Random Detritus
- I have no idea why Cate Blanchett was nominated for her role as Bob Dylan in the movie I’m Not There. I didn’t see the film, but every clip that showed her ‘channeling’ Bobby D was, well…awful. Not for one second did I buy that she was Bob Dylan. To me it looked like a woman in drag trying (unsucessfully)
Nerdery Week: Day 7
Better late than never, eh?
Well, I took a cue (and a hint) from Dan over at This Man’s World and I decided to follow his (and Wendy Withers) lead and throw a video post up there.
A couple things you should know:
– I hate the way my voice sounds
– I’m really not all that itchy under my …
