More Sasquatch reviews
In case you missed it, Ben posted this on the BlueSky area of the site. It's pretty choice.
"The DFW Quick gives Josh Howard's Sasquatch anthology the thumbs up and briefly mentions our story as a highlight. The fact that we have been spotlighted in two different reviews out of so many amazing creators really brightens my day."

Favorite Word
So I've been watching a LOT of Bravo lately (it helps being poor and not being able to afford cable) ... I'm freaking HOOKED on their reality competition shows. Except Project Runway. I just don't care enough about fashion to be interested. But it started with Top Chef, because I'm a freak about cooking shows, and I used to love me some Iron Chef, so I started watching it.
Loved it.
Then I started watching Top Design... which was OK, but not all that great, but I couldn't stop watching it! And now I'm watching the piece of crap train wreck that is Shear Genius, which Laura could TOTALLY win, she needs to try out for next season, but I like Ben (he's rad) and I'm hoping he wins.
I even started watching this show called Workout, which is half cool because it's about this woman that runs a pretentious gym in Hollywood, but it's got too much drama attached to it for me. That didn't stop me from watching it, but I didn't enjoy most of it.
Anyway, I do have a point to this entry and why the post is called "favorite word". I also REALLY love Inside the Actors Studio, because the Lipton guy is so deadpan and his questions are so awesome. He's also obsessed with tattoos, which I find cool and weird at the same time because he always says that because of some secret reason that he will never divulge he cannot have any.
ANYWAY, he ALWAYS asks his guests what their favorite word is, as well as their least favorite word plus a myriad of other random nonsense questions.
SO. I am going to post MY favorite word and my least favorite word and I want to know ALL of YOUR favorite and least favorite words!
Ok. My favorite word is:
PUMPKIN
I just love it. I love the way it sounds and I love what it makes me think of when I say it. Halloween, pie, orange, cool whip, kittens, little kids... all that stuff.
My LEAST favorite word is:
CLOT
Yes, like blood clot. It's just gross, and makes me want to YAK when I hear it. This morning they had the Drew Barrymore one on and her least favorite word was "moist", which I find to ALSO be borderline offensive, so I will say "moist" is a damn close second.
Ok, so everyone put your thinking caps on and give me your two words!
Loved it.

Two Times the Awesome
I thought this seemed fitting to post about seeing as how the anthology book Ben and I worked on, Josh Howard Presents: Sasquatch, just came out:
Sasquatch Festival
The Beastie Boys will be playing there on Sunday, so if you live in Washington, you best get your funk on.

My Mom, My Hero
My mom is in the hospital right now.
It's wrecking my life to know that she's in pain and there is nothing I can do. She had emergency stomach surgery on Monday and her recovery seems to be going well. She's the toughest woman I know, so I know she'll be fine.
Ben and I spent most of last week in Vegas visiting her. I just can't help but feel guilty because I don't have the money to stay there until she's better. A better daughter would be able to find a way. This is the second time in my life that I've felt like a complete asshole for moving to Texas.
Please everyone send positive thoughts my way and pray that my mom gets better.
She's the best mom anyone could ask for and I love her very much.
