WOMEN is reviewed in the print issue of the Spring BITCH magazine. It’s most def a mixed review, starts off okay but gets a little nasty toward the end. They recommend reading “Any Other Mouth” by Annelise Mackintosh inSTEAD of WOMEN, which is ironic, because I’ve been trying to buy that book locally for a few months and it’s hard to find. Now I will definitely buy it. It was rec’d by a friend.

My essay “Heroin and Acne” is in this anthology, Days Like This, coming in April or May from California Bookstore Day. They’re not printing many and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Stoked to be in a book with Anne Lamott. She’s one of my all time favorites and a huge inspiration since I was a teenager.

I just finished Binary Star by Sarah Gerard. I’ll be reading with her in Iowa next month. I’m re-reading Jonathan Ames and Jonathan Lethem essay collections. I saw Still Alice with my mom (was disappointed, did not do it for me) and watched Red Flag by Alex Karpovsky (love, hilarious, like the male version of Tiny Furniture) and am looking forward to While We’re Young by Noah Baumbach to release this month.

My essay “Learning To Sit Still” is going into an anthology called 50 Shades of Blue, coming from Seal press. There’s rumor that Courtney Love is also in this book….
