Weekend Treat
Got about 40 minutes to spare?
If so, check out Eels performing on KCRW in studio. More than anything, I’m embedding this here for my own pure enjoyments, but hey…you might dig ’em too.
They are lyrically SOUND.
Enjoy!…
Egg Drop Soup & Other Delights
Hey, it’s not like I don’t love you Blogger (you too, Tappers!) but I’ve just been a busy, busy boy.
So busy. Boy.
Let’s sit down for a spell and catch up a bit, why don’t we? Yeah, you can sit there on the futon. Just go ahead and move those Hot Wheels cars over to the side. That’s fine. …
Hoo Boy…
So, I’m a bit of a nerd. That really doesn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone at this point, does it? No? Good. Let’s continue.
I was quietly, happily working on edits for Draft 3 of GOODHALO when the ol’ pager went off. Turns out some poor soul wanted to check off of our mortal coil, didn’t fare …
And…We Have A Winner!
All right, so let me just get this out of the way:
A HUGE thank you to everyone who participated in my goofy haiku contest. Not everyone likes haikus, poetry or even kids books, but dang it, you made this fella feel like maybe you sorta did, even if for only a moment.
As I said, there were a couple …
Stuffity Stuff
Hiya Tappers!Well, as per usual, I’m busier than…er, um…someone who’s real busy. It’s been insane both on the work front, the writing front and the warm front we have moving into Minnesota.
Ha ha. See what I did there?
Anyway, I thought I’d shoot out a couple little nuggets of stuff out for those interested in seeing where I’m …
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 …
