Hey there — thanks for caring about my other stuff! This blog setup is pretty new, and I’m just learning the intricacies of WordPress publishing — so, all apologies if something on this page is broken or laid out in a wack fashion. I’d really appreciate it if y’all e-mailed me any tips or advice on how to make this page work better.

Here are a few posts from my former blog at And I Am Not Lying, For Real. The layout was different there, so the photos may bleed over into the right sidebar a bit, and the links may need to be updated. But perfection is the enemy of the good, as my old boss used to say, so here are the hits in characteristically messy fashion. Some of these are decent examples of my writing, some just got a lot of traffic for some reason or another, and some I just like even though they’re not that good. Dig around and have fun …
