Have you read my short story Mary yet? Because you should.
Also, the new issue of Newcity has my story about a play I saw. And, since it’s the Love and Sex issue, there’s a bunch of little bits about love and/or sex, none of which I wrote, but all of which are pretty darn good. I especially like the scientific inquiry one. I like it so much that I wish I had written it.
Are you excited about the new Winnie the Pooh movie? Neither am I. Apparently, Disney is scraping the bottom of the barrel on this Pooh thing, because the movie features a Heffalump, a character that never actually appeared in any of the A. A. Milne books (Pooh and Piglet tried to trap one once, but it very famously only lived in their imaginations).
Dr. Jones of the Hundred Acre Wood Pharmacy (Zoloft for Eeyore and Ritalin for Tigger)
Mr. Barnes, Owl’s manservant
“Jeff,” Christopher Robin’s invisible friend from the schoolyard
Ol’ Pappy Pig, Piglet’s abusive grandfather (Piglet lived with him, but ran away every day to be with Pooh)
Earl, Kanga’s alkie ex and Roo’s deadbeat Dad
Susan, Rabbit’s life partner (they were working on a food co-op where they could sell things from the garden)
Tigra the lady Tigger, proof that not only is Tigger not “the only one”: it’s also not true that “Tiggers are wonderful things”
