What is Sunday?

So day before yesterday was Black Friday and yesterday was Small Business Saturday and tomorrow is Cyber Monday, but what’s today?  Is today something?  Am I going to feel bad later when I find out it’s “Save All The Kittens Sunday”?  Probably.  But since I don’t know entirely I think today should be Self-Promotion Sunday.Continue reading “What is Sunday?”

If it’s Friday this must be Seattle.

Seattle!  I’m here for you.  Literally.  So come hang out with me.  Or hide in a corner with me.  I’ll probably do both.  Whatever.  I’m at Lake Forest Park’s Third Place Books at 6p. Tomorrow?  Portland! See the full tour here.

If it’s Wednesday this must be Denver.

ALL THE COOL KIDS ADVERTISE HERE:

I fucking love these people & not just because they support my wine-slushee habit:

Flourish in Progress: (T)hug Life: Part hood. Part good.

The Mack Files: Digesting life in bite-sized pieces through the lens of clichés, quotes & “truisms”.  Often irreverent, always honest.

Wonder and Joy for the Wired and Tired: Feeling wired, tired, and stretched too thin? You’re not alone. Re-ignite your sense of childlike wonder, joy, and well-being with this enlightening and entertaining book by Dr. Pam Stephens Lehenbauer, well-being thought leader and author of the blog, Mother Nature’s Apprentice.

Stuff and Thangs from Xanaru: A mostly funny stuff about my quest for happiness through stories, art, friendship, Great Danes, one naked weirdo alien cat and indiscriminate swearing.

How the Hell Did I Not Know That?: Humorist Lucie Frost shares daily Instagram reels with learnings of the day—words, music, whatever–with plenty of laughs and all the curse words.

Beautiful Writers book: Writers! This coming-of-career memoir (w/ the BEST advice from celeb authors, real shit you haven’t heard) is life. A page-turning beach read doubling as how-to. #Magic

Sunday Comics With Cooper and Fitz: A light-hearted comic strip about two sibling felines and their life with their adopted family: their relationship is complicated but hilarious, and navigating life with humans adds to the fun.

Guilded Monocle: Hand-assembled writing kits to lure your muse back from its side quest. Two paths always included: one structured, one wandering. Every pairs with a prompt if you’re in the mood — if not, be as feral as you wanna be. No yoga voice here, just a judgy mutt named Rory.

The Museum of Regrettable Spreadsheets: Somewhere in your organization is a spreadsheet where the colors mean something and nobody remembers what. The Museum of Regrettable Spreadsheets would like it for the collection. P.S. The Curator also does web hosting and data cleanup. Restoration is available. Exhibition is not mandatory.

Hear This! A Twisted Tale of Sonic Torment by Jon Hébert.: A musician’s darkly funny memoir about hearing damage, porcupine ants, Satan managing Heaven on the weekends, and duck stuff. Seriously messed up stuff about ducks.

Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh: SO GOOD.
