Self has a piece coming out in Knee Jerk Magazine, Issue # 15, September 2010. Should be up sometime around the 4th?
Exciting! The piece is called “Invisible Islands.” It was very fun to write, very voice-driven.
Check out Knee Jerk magazine, here.
Also, her novel, Leaving, is coming out with Anvil sometime November/December. It’s her first! What can self say? She closed her eyes and bit the bullet.
Where are The Emmys? Oh no, oh no, has self missed the boat?
Hubby took self to see “Dinner for Shmucks.” Must say, the movie was funny! And Steve Carell was great. Check out what Salon.com movie critic Andrew O’Hehir has to say about the movie, here (The couple sitting next to self — in particular, the man — was laughing so hard, self worried that he was having a seizure). Self does not agree that it seems like minor Apatow. It is better than Apatow (Self hates the way Apatow always has to descend to toilet humor. This movie was sweeter, more light-hearted than that)
The plot was kinda ridiculous. In fact, self mentioned to hubby as we were walking out of the theater that it reminded her of a French farce. The kind where the man has to be humiliated, naturally regarding his manhood. But perhaps she watched the movie in the right mood: after yesterday’s run-in with monster SUV, she was certainly empathizing with Steve Carell’s character! Also loved his little hobby of putting dead mice in iconic poses: like da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”!
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
