If it’s Wednesday, this must be St. Louis.

I’m in Missouri today for a reading and signing. Come be in Missouri with me? This is where I normally put in a graphic with a quote from the book but instead I’m sharing this $25 bill, which will only make sense if you’ve read Furiously Happy (which is on its 5th week on theContinue reading “If it’s Wednesday, this must be St. Louis.”

Where even am I?

I’m on day…17? of this leg of the tour and it’s been amazing and terrifying and weird in the best possible way. You can watch it all on instagram if you want but today I have a day off to recuperate and so I thought I’d share this. I usually make tiny metal ferris wheelsContinue reading “Where even am I?”

David Sedaris once wrote that he often asks people waiting for his autograph questions like, “If you saw a leprechaun on the toilet would you run away or know that he meant you no harm?” and now that question haunts me. Personally, I’d be pretty sure that anyone standing on the toilet meant to harm me becauseContinue reading “Toilet Leprechauns: Probably the Pandora’s Box of our Generation.

Good Luck Satan

Yesterday I went to a thrift store and I saw an old hand-embroidered tablecloth and I thought, Does that say “GOOD LUCK SATAN”? Then I looked closer and realized that no…no it doesn’t say that. It actually says “GOOD LUCK ON SATURN”. Which makes…slightly more sense? Then I unfolded it and realized it says: “GOODContinue reading “Good Luck Satan”
