Ah, what a glorious time of year it is. And what glorious people about us. And what big teeth they have, grandmother. The better to floss with you, my dear...

Ok, an update on promises:
Short story WILL be done this weekend. At least in draft form. I'm actually supposed to be working on it now, but I've found frequent breaks help keep things fresh, or maybe they just help me put them off until the next day when I'm supposedly more "fresh" (perhaps even in an old-school hip-hop kinda way...)
I've begun doing some more work on the album. Just some basic loops and stuff at this point, but with more gear coming in the next week, hopefully it'll give me a little more flexibility to get this thing together. Also thinking about getting into some more remixing sort of stuff, so, if you're an artist looking to turn a beloved song into a guinea pig for my tinkering, drop me a line.
No word on the novel, and it's taking a back burner until I hear back from some of the places I've sent it. However, feel free to check it out at leisure and be amazed at the wonder that is Dinnertime.
As far as general site stuff, the Tess interview should be up this weekend as well as an overdue update to the fiction page. In related news, it looks as my idea for an official Joe-Mammy.com pen pal was quite possibly ill-conceived. If you're interested drop a line and state your qualifications to be the PenPal of an entire website. Or just say hi, if you'd like.
Other than that, I think everything is more or less on schedule for my eventual domination of the entire planet (give or take 30 years...) so to quote my boy Zim: I shall rule you all with an iron fist... Obey the fist!

Okay, in my eternal curiousity about how other folks blog their merry hearts and minds away I did a little trolling for nifty things. What I found is either the stupidist thing ever since SimStapler or one of the most amusing fritter games ever. I'll let you make up your own mind, but be warned, it'll consume you like a bad case of the prickly heat... Rawk ON!

All hail Wileyrock!

I'm so stoked about the soon-to-be-published interview with Tess Wiley (Wileyrock forever!) that I've committed the greatest act of hubris this side of, well, um, Hubrisville. I've requested an interview with the President...
No, not of the local Rotary club, but of the United Freaking States of America. Here's the text: Hello Mr President (and staff member stuck reading this) I wanted to invite you to do an e-mail interview with Joe-Mammy.com. It’s a non-political website devoted to my own personal work as well as individuals and topics that I find to be fascinating. Most interviews are 10-15 questions long that I e-mail to you that you can respond to at your leisure. Past interviews can be seen at http://www.joe-mammy.com/pages/features/features.htm. C’mon, it’s an election year, I know my state has one electoral vote, but it could be a fun way to break out of the usual mean-spirited politicing that everyone is already getting sick of (can November come soon enough?)
Thank you for your time and consideration
Come, my fellow Americans (and whatever nationalities drop by, you are equal in the eyes of Joe) let's petition the government together in hopes of the Joe-Mammy.com interview of George W Bush. Let freedom ring! (and Wileyrock forever again!)

Couldn't let the event pass. Bob Dylan is another year older (and deeper in debt, ohhhhhh sixteen tons and whaddya get...) Much love to the Man. (In a completely heterosexual way, I'd like to add...)
We now return you to your normal program, already in progress...

Ahhh, the weekend has finished and so has another weekend at work. Twas an ugly, bloody thing, but I've emerged on the other side only a little the worse for wear. Updates: Short story isn't done. Haven't done anything on it since last time. Sorry. I suck. Second: the Joe-Mammy.com official PenPal is open running well. I've got a number of promising folks looking to join the Legion o' Cool and use some of ol' Joe's webspace to share/rant/communicate and otherwise speak their minds. Stay tuned. Third: I can confirm the subject of this month's feature. I've gotta say that I'm highly jazzed about it--it was a great interview with a great subject. This month's featured interviewee is none other than the fabulous Ms. Tess Wiley (late of Sixpence None the Richer and veteran solo artist) Those of you unfamiliar with her (or unfamiliar with her since her Sixpence days) have been missing out. She recently released her second solo album and it's a beaut. Check back soon in Features. Tis greatly sweet.
Alright, now for the part where I promise other things: the short story will be done this week if I have to super glue my butt to this chair to make it so. I'm also trying to get a hold of a couple bits o' musical goodness from the lovable Platypus Man that we worked on together so you never know, something rocking this way may come. Um, what else? Am I forgetting something? Anyone? You in the back? Hmmmm. Ah, yes, Bubba Ho-Tep is out this week. And there was much rejoicing. I'm going to bed now. I think you'll all like me better rested... -Joe
