we’ll be next

Tuesday 30 November 2004 | I like a cookie

We at the Un have finally been blogging regularly for nearly a year now! 2004 must have some literary value, if no emotional, spiritual, moral or physical. After all, even Breakup Babe got a book deal. If anyone gets a book deal, it should be us—which reminds us of something the demented Clare once said [...]

the verk!

Tuesday 30 November 2004 | I like a cookie

In the absence of broadband I downloaded The Verksheet (gleep!) and am now also an avowed disciple. I mean, Ms. Katie’s married to Stephen Mitchell and he’s not exactly an unsharp knife now is he?!

We were serenely, gloriously naked; Bill was in swimming trunks, on the phone and signing things and opening mail and so forth; [...]

Wednesday 3 November 2004 | I like a cookie

I didn’t think anything could make me laugh today, but the Editor emailed me: Thanks to so many of you who came out last night to support The Hip Hop Voter Project’s Election Night Party. It was great to have such a large crowd of my favorite people on such an intense night. Particularly given [...]

miss ohio must be feeling proud

Wednesday 3 November 2004 | I like a cookie

In my newsless state I actually looked at CNN.com, which said something polite about the Ohio secretary of state’s excuse being “general fatigue” and I didn’t know what expression to have on my face when I read that. Proud we are here in NM too, of our disorganization. Hey, I have a crazy idea: since [...]
