The Prisoner? More Like The Busy Nerd!

I have not heard very good things about AMC's remake of The Prisoner , but I do thank AMC for providing all the episodes of the original series for free this month so that I could experience this 1967 cult classic. In The Prisoner , a British spy decides to resign his position, giving no reason for his decision. When he returns home, he is kidnapped, and he wakes up in the Village, an ...

Writers with Drinks, Burritos, and Fries

A few days ago, I discovered that Javier Grillo-Marxuach, creator of TV's The Middleman , was coming up here for Writers with Drinks , a monthly literary spoken-word variety show. Javi and I met three years ago at an 826michigan event, and he seemed to like me. He sent me a nice message when I found him on Facebook last year, and he was excited to see me at Comic-Con, even wanting a ...

American Zombie

In the last couple weeks, I've been to a lot of unconventional theatre. Thanks to cofax7 , I got to see American Idiot at Berkeley Rep for free the night before Halloween ($0), and I loved it so much I saw it again last night ($26). Now, I fully admit that my opinion about this show is heavily biased since I am a huge Green Day fan and think American Idiot is a fantastic ...

There May Be a Toad in Your Bass Guitar

After another delightful dinner at Threehaus—chicken chili and cornbread—with Dan ( incidentist ) and Gabby and Sarah and Jason, I was introduced to the most amazing Tim Curry performance of all time. For some ungodly reason, in addition to owning Gummi Bears on DVD, Gabby owns The Worst Witch , a terrible made-for-TV movie adaptation of a book about a Hogwarts-esque witches' school....

Hugs, Zombies, Comic Books, and Indian Food

This weekend, lodessa came down to visit, since I had gone up twice and she owed me a visit and we just picked a weekend and made it happen. Also, it gave me an excuse to clean my apartment. We gerunded quite a bit! hugging lodessa upon her arrival whisking her away for lunch and parallel parking perfectly—though not on the first try beating the Bakesale Betty rush, which ...

If You Like Anything, You Will LOVE THIS POST!

BOOM! You guys! Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. , by Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen , is the GREATEST COMIC IN THE HISTORY OF EXISTENCE! Nextwave is essentially a parody of superhero comics, specifically the Marvelverse, that is still a fun and entertaining superhero comic in its own right. Actual Marvel characters make what I can only assume are completely out-of-character appearances,...

I'll Eat You Up

Last Sunday morning, after the AMWA conference , I made the decision to defy my parents. I had come into town early to spend time with them, and I had reserved Sunday for me. Me, me, me, whatever I wanted to do. But they wanted me to come back for a little while anyway, and I had assented, downtrodden, even though I didn't want to. This morning, though, I wanted to stop giving in all the ...

Deep in the Heart of AMWA, Part II: Creative Nonfiction as an Outlet for Medical Writers

If you're just joining us, you may want to read Part I first. Friday I did not oversleep on Friday. I was to meet my fellow creative nonfiction panelists for breakfast in the hotel restaurant at 7:30. I waited for a while, seeing no sign of them, although I had forgotten what they looked like. There was a long line of people waiting to be seated, and the buffet was very popular. But I ...

Deep in the Heart of AMWA, Part I: Introduction to Cancer Pharmacology

From Atlanta to Louis ville to Dallas, the American Medical Writers Association sure doesn't like to gather in the typical conference towns. And even though I was from the area, I was unfamiliar with downtown Dallas. This year's conference was going to be very important, as I was giving a three-hour cancer pharmacology workshop and speaking on a creative nonfiction panel . The former I had...
