This is an old Joe Show webisode, the first one we did featuring a guest, in the form of one Ian Adams. I love this one, even with all the flubs and silliness!

Get Yourself A Fairy Godmother
Today I talked with Sharon for nearly three hours.
"AUNTIE Sharon" is what she'll say to that sentence. Yes, Aunt Sharon, in that she is one of Louie's little sisters (there's a load of other aunts). But Lou is my mother's husband, not my "bio dad" nor my "on paper" father at all, and regarding that fact, the Lombardi family (including those other five aunts) never let me forget it. Not for a day. Except for Sharon. Beautiful, sweet-smelling,...

I Really Should Have Moved That Tee-Shirt First
So I was exchanging Christmas decoration photos and video with my friends, and this is what I sent, you guys. I snapped the pic, sent it to our chat, and then I saw the tee-shirt Joey got from his friend at work, draped on the chair right there. Doh!
🎅🎄🤶
"Merry Christmas! Fuck off!"

You Know What My Library Really Needs? Coffee.
Because this is gonna require coffee.
I'm at the Honan-Allston Library again today, doing research for a possible new client. One of my favorite things about freelance work, even if it's only writing a simple Artist Statement for a graphic illustrator, is the prep work. Freelancers learn a lot about a wide range of subjects. That's why we're all such strange people. That's my theory, anyway....
RIP Sondra Locke
You guys, Sondra Locke died. Sure, yeah, she was in all those Clint Eastwood movies and look what has happened to him. She did other stuff too. She directed and starred in Ratboy. Ratboy is the absolute 1986est thing you could ask for, and I mean that sincerely.
"Ratboy: It's so hard being different"

#ThrowbackThursday: 2001
This #Throwback is so old! Diaryland entry from April 16, 2001
Just How Big We Talkin'? And How Easy?
I can't focus on work today. How the shit am I expected to focus on work today when tomorrow at this time I'll be in New Orleans, a whole city I've never visited and always lusted after? New Orleans. N'awlins. The Big Easy. With my fascination with death and penchant for the unexplainable things that lurk in the dark corners of the world,...

EIGHT DAYS A FREAK
RIP Michelle's Facebook Account (2008 - 2018)
Facebook self-disrupted in three ways in my opinion. So I'm out, at least for having a personal profile on the platform. At some point I'll likely create a #GenXReport Group or Page or whatever the new thing will be, by then. Because they keep changing the platform for no reason. But for a personal Facebook account, since December 1st, I am Deactivated.

Thrift Stories: "And I Thought I Have Trouble Finishing Thi--" Edition
The funny thing about this barely-begun canvas I saw at the thrift store? I almost bought it...because I need something else to hoard in my studio? I pick up too much random shit thinking I'll make something cool out of it. I have too many things in my studio that I need to finish making, and too much writing left unfinished! I resisted the urge to get "Once Up..." but snapped this photo as a reminder: I have a book to finish! Or...um...start,...

HAPPY SAINT NICK'S FEAST DAY!
Y'all, it is the Feast Day of our only Klingon saint! Here's the deal...when I wrote the post titled "Smile When You Bless The Gagh!" in order to explain how I am sure that Santa is definitely a Klingon, I hadn't realized that many other me's agree! So here's an illustration by graphic artist Brandon Carr that pretty much nails it. Don't you just love it when you find your fellow travelers?

Hold Your Antasy Draft Here
Cool cool cool cool cool. I din't have a single F left to give. In Allston Rock City extra F's just layin' on the ground here. ...
"While you were sleeping..."
I woke up to this photo Joey took just before he left for work today. He texted that he wanted to show me how cute I am all snuggled up with my bear on cold mornings. 😴 I love him so much. If you can marry your best friend, I highly recommend it.💖...

Pandorable!
Pandora sent me an email. I like it, Pandora. Give a raise to the person who thought of this. I think I even like the toxic green & pink color scheme maybe.
I clicked the thing and Tweeted it, as suggested. But
I had to change the auto-gen line. I'm not saying "Sharing is caring"
for the love of all that doesn't suck. That's like "spring has sprung"
and "it's all about the ________" and other such drivel. Like I'ma put
my name on "sharing...

This is how lucky I am
Joey brought me a second mug of his delightful French press coffee, but he wouldn't put it into my hands because it was so piping hot. He waited while I cleared a space on my messy desk, then he put down the coffee mug. "Did you not want me to burn my fingers?" I asked, "But what about YOUR fingers?"
"My fingers have callouses from playing," he said, kissing me on my head. "The heat doesn't bother me."
Awwww, what? That's like the most romantic...
