I got an email from editor saying “HAPPY PUB DAY!” and I was like, there’s a special day just for going to pubs? My God, we released my book on exactly the right day, but then I realized “pub” was short for “published” and OMG ::KERMIT FLAIL:: Y’ALL, MY BOOK IS OUT TODAY. Did youContinue reading “IT’S HAPPENING. IT’S REALLY HAPPENING.”
Category Archives: Taxidermy is weird but so am I
I can’t tell if this happened because I have a medical issue or because I’m just really lazy.
Yesterday I went to pick up my meds and while I was there I handed the pharmacist my prescription for my ADD medication and she was like “Sorry, I can’t fill this one.

UPDATED: Twice as cute. Although I suppose that’s subjective.
Last month when we were in Atlanta I found an old, two-headed taxidermied bobcat in a thrift shop that I really wanted to buy, but then I noticed that the shop also had a human hand in a jar for sale. I couldn’t justify buying both of them and that’s when I realized that this is probably theContinue reading “UPDATED: Twice as cute. Although I suppose that’s subjective.”
I’m stuck on this deer. Literally.
Victor says I never accomplish anything when he’s out of town but I spent yesterday super-gluing tiny rhinestones to a taxidermied deer’s nose so that it would look more magical. So there, Victor. PS. I bought the deer in a thrift shop because it looks exactly like Victor when he’s like “What the hell is wrong withContinue reading “I’m stuck on this deer. Literally.”
