The Big Red Dog: ouch
http://big-red-dog.blogspot.com/2007/04/ouch.html
The Big Red Dog. Wednesday, April 04, 2007. I had a molar pulled today. Just a couple hours ago. It didn't hurt then, but now that the novocaine. Is wearing off, it hurts like hell. My face is swollen, my mouth is full of gauze, and I want to curl up in the fetal position, cry and then pass out, which is actually what I'm going to do in a little bit here, after I take the vicodin.

The Big Red Dog: no more free coffee
http://big-red-dog.blogspot.com/2007/04/no-more-free-coffee.html
The Big Red Dog. Friday, April 06, 2007. No more free coffee. I failed to mention in my post earlier that today was my last day at Starbucks. I have the luxury of falling asleep tonight, with no alarm set to wake me up pre-dawn so I can go open up the store at 5:30. And I can actually make dinner plans for tomorrow night because I won't have work until 2am to close the store. So they had better send me those emails they all promised. Truly, I love the people I worked with at Starbucks.

Kine: Secrets of really good chocolate chip cookies
http://kikine.blogspot.com/2007/03/secrets-of-really-good-chocolate-chip.html
Monday, March 05, 2007. Secrets of really good chocolate chip cookies. Most people I know claim to have the perfect chocolate-chip cookie recipe. I don't believe I have the best recipe, but this is damn close. In the end, I think it's not really the recipe that matters, but how you make them (and the quality of your ingredients, especially the vanilla). Here's how it's done:. Always use real butter;. And real sugar. Don't tell me Splenda should be used, you smug moralizer;. Use real vanilla;. Only cook a...

Pilcrow Lit Fest: Rebuilt Books
http://pilcrowlitfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/rebuilt-books.html
Is on again this year, and in a big way. Rebuilt Books is, as many of you remember, a fundraiser which asks writers to disassemble their own books (or partner with an artist and have him/her do it) then rebuild the book into a piece of art. This year, Pilcrow Lit Fest/Chicago will be raising money for Young Chicago Authors. See inspiration of last year's Rebuilt Books here with Timothy Schaffert's doll parts book. Laura Van Prooyen's word-lanterns. Oh yes, that Literary Death Match. Posted by Amy Guth.

Kine: Another day, another bird.
http://kikine.blogspot.com/2006/08/another-day-another-bird.html
Wednesday, August 02, 2006. Another day, another bird. I like Bird Nerd. I bought this linocut print the other day. Birds make great art subjects. In other news, it's hot out. Contemplating moving to Alaska. In the meantime, i'll be lobbying for national acceptance of a ritual called afternoon nap. While we north americans are working away at 3pm, the brits are having their tea and the spanish are enjoying their daily Siesta. The afternoon cooldown, it's not a bad idea.

Kine: I'm back for good, for now
http://kikine.blogspot.com/2006/12/im-back-for-good-for-now.html
Saturday, December 16, 2006. I'm back for good, for now. I was told a few days ago that by blog missed me, so I'm welcoming myself back - just in time for travel blogging in India. In a few days I'll be in Delhi holding my Belhi tight, and popping Ibuprofen. Now if I could just find a digital camera to keep a record of all these good times. I'm leaving you with a recommendation: check out my darling's new blog. And really, that's why I love the guy. Posted by Kine at 9:21 AM. Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

http://pilcrowlitfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/shout-out-from-outsider-writers.html
Shout-Out from Outsider Writers. Pilcrow got some love from Outsider Writers Collective's. Tim Hall this morning:. The 2nd annual Pilcrow Lit Fest. Will be held the week of May 17-23 in Chicago, culminating with a full day of panels on the 23rd and a fantastic “rebuilt books” auction to cap off the event. Those of us who were there for the inaugural event last year can attest to how amazing it was, and what a brilliant job organizer Amy Guth did putting together events and panels. Posted by Amy Guth.

Pilcrow Lit Fest: Shout Out from HuffPo and Dropping Bombs
http://pilcrowlitfest.blogspot.com/2009/05/shout-out-from-huffpo-and-dropping.html
Shout Out from HuffPo and Dropping Bombs. In a post about the state of publishing and literature in Chicago, Pilcrow Lit Fest got a nice shout out from Gina Frangello in the Huffington Post. For many years Chicago's book publishing community was almost nonexistent, but now new independent book presses like Featherproof Books. Are popping up like wildfire to fill the gap left by New York; now Chicago is host to almost back-to-back AWP Conferences and Pilcrow Literary Festival. I was chatting with Terry.
