Take it away, Jonathan Coulton: I’ll be having a grand day out in lovely PDX today, but feel free to join the virtual party by leaving a comment here (or on Facebook, or by e-mail, or via passenger pigeon) which…

UR Doin It Write

Curtis Chen
September 28, 2009

From House writer-producer Doris Egan‘s LiveJournal: Most people in the world can draw a firm divide between working and not working. You could take a picture of them, and see whether they’re working or not working. But a writer hitting…

Hey, I know that guy

Curtis Chen
September 27, 2009

I freely admit that I am not part of the mainstream cultural conversation. (I had never heard any part of that Beyoncé song until last week’s episode of Glee.) And I’m generally pretty bad about keeping in touch with friends….

It’s Spelled B-A-Y-L-A.

Curtis Chen
September 22, 2009

Just to clear this up. I know humans are easily confused. I am not a 20th-century Hungarian composer. Nor am I the leader of a fusion-jazz musical group. And I am definitely not that dude who played Dracula. My name…

Friday Flash Fiction: “Xenotypography”

Curtis Chen
September 18, 2009

Just last year, this might have been considered a fantasy story, as it features a Commander-in-Chief who knows about carbon dating and understands the scientific method. Now it’s just science fiction! (Rimshot.) Read “Xenotypography” at 512 Words or Fewer

Casting Calls

Curtis Chen
September 17, 2009

I signed up with a local casting agency earlier this year, mostly so I could be an extra on Leverage (fun times, plus they paid me!), and I’m still on their mailing list, so I get the occasional “Talent Needed”…
