Or maybe I should say, who is mjp Books? In light of my last post, I should probably say that mjp Books is no longer. Mainly because mjp is no longer. The books that were here are over at booksbyhannah.com. The books haven’t changed, even though I have. This blog, though, is done. Any new books …

Bringing the hammer down
Someone who works here in the office has a body odor problem. I mean, that’s not exactly accurate, is it? The person who stinks doesn’t have the problem, everyone else does. So we have a body odor problem, he doesn’t. Which is apropos of nothing, but it got me thinking about how glad I am that …
How to do everything wrong
I told you that a podcast ate my blog, but other than that I haven’t said much about it around here. Maybe because I don’t see much separation between here and there, but I suppose there is some separation. I’ve been putting out a podcast every week for six months now, so this may be a …
A podcast ate my blog!
When I started the podcast I thought it would be no big thing, and I’d still be posting here in the blog. As with so many things in life though, I was quite wrong. As it turns out, the podcast eats up huge chunks of my time. I write most of it down before I say …
I’m an expert at the Internet
I moved the site to a new server almost a month ago and I just now noticed that all the direct links to the articles have been broken since then. You’d think after 20 years I’d know how to do this shit, but apparently I’m not so good at it.
In your ears
Oh look, he’s back. It’s been a few months, for those of you who didn’t realize I was gone. You’re probably thinking I ran out of things to say, but that’s not it. I have a few posts here that I’ve written but haven’t published. So my absence wasn’t due to a lack of ideas. No, what’s …
Time will tell
My hair is long, as it often tends to be, and lately I’ve been letting my beard grow. It’s been doing its own thing for almost five months, so it’s about as long as it’s ever been. Unlike (some of) the hair on my head, the beard is almost all white. I wear jeans every …
Oh, did you say something?
Well, this is funny.
It’s for you…it’s the future calling
I retired my HTC Android space phone after using it for a year. It did a lot of cool things. A lot of cool, unnecessary things. And it cost a lot of money. Money that was ultimately wasted because I never used any of those cool, unnecessary things. I mean, not never. I did use …
Hey, get your damn feet off my desk
Someone was talking about paper cutters today, and it brought back some unpleasant memories. For most of my life I worked at jobs that were dirty, difficult and dangerous.
Wasp Would Sting You
I’m in the midst of a seemingly never ending task. A place I often find myself. What makes my feeble mind encounter a ridiculous mound of sorting, scanning, building, fixing and otherwise general tedium and say, “There’s a great use of your time!” If this stuff was really important, wouldn’t someone else have done it …
Writing the world’s greatest novel
I am writing a book. I’ve written a few books, but this one is different. It’s really long. It started as a short story about being on the road in a punk band, Sonny Vincent and The Extreme, back in 1980 and 81. One day I looked at it and thought, “I wonder what it …
You are here
Carol and I saw a young girl the other day, gazing lovingly at some celebrity who had his arm around her, and it got us talking about how odd all of that is. We’ve both hobnobbed with our share of celebrities, and while it is ridiculous and they are just people, it can still sometimes throw you …
Speak now or forever hold your peace
I got sick at the beginning of the year and a nasty infection decided to set up a permanent home in my chest. It is improving somewhat now, but only after two rounds (!) of Azithromycin. I don’t usually take antibiotics, and I sure as hell don’t go to the doctor for a cold, but this has been something else entirely. I think it comes from outer space.
Holiday questions to warm your heart and tickle your beautiful soul
There is a great forum over at bukowski.net. I have participated in a lot of forums and online groups, and it is unusual to find one that is interesting and informative and not just full of bullshit and posturing. Part of building a good forum is pure luck, but a larger part is a lot …
