Dispatches from the City of Angels
I'm a writer and humorist living in and writing about Los Angeles. You can catch my novel LOSING CLEMENTINE out March 6 from William Morrow. In the meantime, feel free to poke around. Over at my website you can find even more blog entries than I could fit here, as well as a few other ramblings. Enjoy and come back often.

Not really a career I'd considered...
Amazon.com believes that I am an aspiring porn star who, frankly, could use a few tips and perhaps stand to lose some weight.
Both alarming and a little insulting, I must admit.
Over the past couple of weeks, I have received several oh-so-helpful product recommendations from good ol' Amazon.com, which have included "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star" by your favorite 'ho and mine Jenna Jameson and a 25% discount off Weight Watchers.
Each e-mail goes on to tell me that these recommendations have been carefully selected for yours truly based on my previous purchases, which lately have been running magazines and toys for a children's hospital.
Apparently, My Little Pony = My First Porno. Who knew?
I was considering a Muscle & Fitness subscription, but who knows where that could lead. Paranoia is setting in, and yelling, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?!" at my inbox has not been enormously helpful.
The monkeys in the machine are profiling me, and I'm not sure I like where it's going.
