Back during the Clinton years (remember those?) when Democrats failed to pass "Hillarycare," Paul and I had a debate with my parents about health care reform. I wasn’t a huge fan of the Clinton plan, I thought it was weak and vague. But the conflict with my parents wasn’t aboutContinue Reading
I dropped my phone. The battery popped out. Now it doesn’t work. So I can’t be reached by phone until the new battery arrives, assuming that is the only problem.Continue Reading
Paul and I are going to be here tomorrow night: http://neumos.com/neumos.phpContinue Reading

Dear Internet, thank you for playing Julie’s Novel Mad Libs. Since I am now determined — determined, I say! — to come up with a one-sentence (or logline, as I now know to call them) that seems exciting to , we are going at this again, after much noodling onContinue Reading
So, I have this novel-type thing that I’ve been working on and it occurred to me over the weekend that I need to come up with the catchy pitch for it. I kicked around The Player-style pitches (Hamlet meets Fight Club! Sex and the City meets The Wolfman!) but noneContinue Reading
