*Sigh*
Here’s Intern Meagan and Kiala wearing a hat I made for her. It’s a going away present.
It was a fun knit and when I make it for myself, I’m going to add a pattern repeat to accommodate my huge head.
Side view. I love this hat and thought about keeping it with me in Portland.
I thought [...]
I Won!
I’ll bet you’re wondering what it’s like to go through life attending parties, weddings, funerals, whatever and when the various party games happen (pin the tail on the stripper, the safety pin thing, and guess who’s getting disinherited — ME!) to hold your breath in anticipation of both winning and LOSING because the winning never [...]
Ugh
Are you kidding me?
Hands are shaking in anger right now.
Let me just say this clearly — devaluing writers in the digital age seems like a bad idea.
The Meat Counter Made Me Feel Naughty
And that title pretty much sums up my day yesterday.
But first — Back Fence! It was amazing. We had about 160 people show up, standing room only. The storytellers just killed. I have one video of Beth Lisick telling her story, but it’s really shaky because I was cracking up the whole time so when [...]
It’s Tonight!
Join us, would you?
Here’s Where I Ask You To Do Stuff
Welcome friends, to the 87th quarterly Melissa Lion Non-Royalties Post. Every quarter I get a statement from my agent explicitly detailing my non-royalties. It tells me how many books I’ve not sold. It’s a little like the time my high school boyfriend sent me a letter in college where he outlined his erect penis, but [...]
You’re Going to Be So Sick of Me
I’m sorry. I know. It’s a little like when Madonna released her Sex book. Total melissalion overload.
I flatter myself, I do.
First, Strange Love Live was a blast and a half. I loved doing it and I hope there will be another sex podcast in the future. My favorite topics were being a wife and mom [...]
Adventures in Customer Service
Over the past few days I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with customer service people over the telephone. One time that pleasure was ironic, the other time it was actually a pleasure.
So I canceled my account with a cell phone company that rhymes with Squint. I was their customer for four long years. FOUR LONG [...]
Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby
Well, I’m going to talk about sex tomorrow night on Strange Love Live. And, as you all know, I’m good with freestyling these sorts of things, but the host, Cami Kaos, wants people to email questions. These questions are not things like, “Will you take your shirt off?” Or “may I see your ass?” (No [...]
One Week to Back Fence PDX
Hey Hey it’s Back Fence PDX day! We’re one week out and I can’t encourage you enough to purchase your tickets in advance. Here’s the link to do so.
Yesterday we heard four of the stories and they were remarkable. I cried during a few of them and we laughed our asses off at a few [...]
