“My Parents Say I Should Worry About Making More Money Than My Perfect Boyfriend. Advice?”

Last updated on: July 22, 2010 at 2:20 pm By John Shore

[Update: “So Whaddaya, Anyway? Some Kinda Fag?”] Okay, readers. The following note came in today (in response to “Six Tests To Determine If He’s Mr. Right”). How would any of you advise this young woman? Wow. Thank you so much. I have a lot to think about. I have been dating my boyfriend now for about eight months. My friends think he is amazing. He really takes care of me, encourages me, makes me feel beautiful. I was really sick one... Read more

Twelve Years of Rejected Short Stories, And Then This!

Last updated on: July 21, 2010 at 11:31 am By John Shore

The other day I found on my Facebook page a brief supportive note from a woman whose name, Elaine Liner, I failed to place. Later that day it popped into my head: she was the woman who, in 1991, had published one of my short stories. I have no idea what the state is today of what used to called little literary magazines, but back when I was first trying to publish my short stories, “little literaries” were just about...

#Shakespalin

Last updated on: July 21, 2010 at 7:17 am By John Shore

Some of you have already seen these on my Facebook page; others of you wrote to ask if I’d in any way participated in the whole #Shakespalin phenomenon. I learned of the big Twitter fun yesterday afternoon as I was about to start making dinner, and naturally enough couldn’t resist taking a moment or two at the kitchen table to conjure up these four of my own Shakespeare-by-way-of-Palin quotes: The miserable have no other medicine but only hopey-changey. Whiter than... Read more

Two Dinky Bits of Blog Advice

Last updated on: July 21, 2010 at 5:15 am By John Shore

Looking at (literally) all the new blogs now on my blogroll (via yesterday’s “Send Me Your Blog Address for My Blogroll!“) made me want to quickly offer up these two tiny little tips for General Blog Improvement: 1. Make sure your blog has a little something on it about you. It’s hard for people to connect with you if they don’t really have any idea who you are. A picture of yourself, along with a short bio, that’s either always on... Read more

[Update: I’ll leave this post up through today–being July 20, doncha know–and then be sure to get these blogs onto my blogroll ASAP. Probably take me … I dunno. Day, maybe. Whatever. But I’ll get ’em done. Cuz you know how I do.] The other day I finally got around to explaining why I don’t keep a blogroll. (You can see that explanatory note if you scroll down the right-hand column a bit lot.) But ever since I put that... Read more

When Pretty Women Dance

Last updated on: July 19, 2010 at 11:25 am By John Shore

After the dinner I wrote a bit about in yesterday’s How I Got a Blog on Huffington Post (And Help Me Mooch Indian Food!), Cat, DR and I took a stroll down from where we’d eaten (being–for those who asked–George’s at the Cove) to this promenade: which runs between the ocean and this park: which looks beautiful, but may end up being a curse for anyone who’s been there and then ends up in heaven, since I imagine that God frowns...

How I Got a Blog on Huffington Post (And Help Me Mooch Indian Food!)

Last updated on: July 18, 2010 at 2:07 pm By John Shore

Last night Cat and I had drinks and dinner with a new friend (DR!) at this place, if you can stand the ridiculous beauty of it. (Our Actual Table was the one to the right of the standing waiter with the blue shirt, where the four guys in sunglasses are playing Quick: Tell Us Apart.) During the course of our meal, our friend (DR!) asked me how I ended up blogging for The Huffington Post. Before I could answer our... Read more

I just got in a comment to yesterday’s A Christian Reader Asks: “They’re Doing Yoga At My Job. Should I Join In?” I thought so interesting I wanted to bust it out here in its own post. Its writer linked to a blog called “Pearl of the Prairie,” which I assume is his/blog. Anyway, here’s what they wrote: (more…) Read more

Ever said any of these 7 things? Then you just might be a racist.

Have you ever said any of the seven things below? If so, then you just might be a racist. Well, actually, that’s not true. If you’ve ever said any of the seven things below, you’re definitely a racist. So, you know: Stop it. Stop being a racist. Stop it right now. For one, it’s just so blazingly stupid. And you don’t anyone to think you’re stupid, right? Right? Nobody wants that. Therefore, on behalf of sane people everywhere, thank you, friend, for... Read more
