Coming soon!

For the past month, I've been gathering all links to my work so that I can archive them here in one comprehensive entry. If I get super-ambitious, I'll scan my print-only features to my Flickr account and toss those links into the mix, too. I hope to complete said project soon, then I'll update The Slippery Fish only when I have a new piece go online or hit the stands.

'Tis best for two reasons: I have many features and larger projects in the pipeline and those are absorbing my attention. Also, Facebook and Twitter, combined with said work, have made The Slippery Fish superfluous.

I'd ruminate on where I was when I started this blog in 2003 and all that's changed for good and bad in the interim, but you know what? I don't have the time.

And that might be the perfect note on which to end things.

Cross-dressing, bad foreplay, a math teacher gone wrong: my new essay for Nerve is here:

I love the title my editor chose, "It's Always the Quiet Ones", and that the guy in the accompanying photo looks like Radiohead's Thom Yorke.

Enjoying the responses this piece is garnering, even the one from a crazy dude.

Can any amount of vertical compatibility make up for incompatibility in the sack? Let's see:
