Bio
The gypsies ran off without me. I'm leaving my old bio beneath this, but here is what's new: I've been documenting the Occupy Movement in New Orleans for over a year and and am now accompanied by a male Chihuahua named Zooey. That is all. __________ I crave junk shops, dying shore towns, and odd roadside attractions, love a strong dose of Déjà us and am learning to enjoy insomnia. I’m a writer and collage artist who teaches freshman composition courses at seemingly random online universities, and I try to balance this by getting paper cuts and only playing scrabble with real wooden pieces. In the flesh, I spend my time looking for my keys, always accompanied by a long-haired Chihuahua named Guadalupe. I also take care of the 50 or so dolls that I found when Katrina's waters receded. They do not all have names yet.

The St Roch Tavern is one of the New Orleans bars being targeted by what's been described as an attack on live music. Local writer Sam Jasper does an excellent job describing the issue in his blog post Between St. Roch and a Hard Place.

Coney Island Photo Booth

 

 

Dear Facebook,  


I’d been hating myself for sticking around, as if you were some loser boyfriend lying around and never emptying ashtrays but constantly bombarding me with the latest baseball score or get rich quick scheme.  I was first annoyed at you be… Read full post »

The Insomnia Pages

"There are no boundaries online.  I won't teach [College Writing] online because there are not any boundaries," my friend exclaimed last week.

3.  Take criticism.

 

For some reason, I’ve forgotten the value of number 3.
