Own a piece of Konrath history
For only $159,000, you can buy the last place I lived in Bloomington: http://www.homefinder.org/public/buy-details.asp?sTransactionNumber=20101620&sCRecord=147 This is the 1005 W. 6th house, where I lived from 1994-1995. I lived here with Simms and Matt Liggett, and it’s a weird little place. It’s five bedrooms, but they’re odd-sized little rooms, so you can only really get three…

While refrigeratory starting to run or stopping, temporary ice crack sound may be heared because the inner mechanisms occured inordinate heat expansionthe or cold shrink caused by severe temperature change,which is not a failure
Before I forget. John Sheppard has a new book out called Loner, which is a collection of short stories originally published in Air in the Paragraph Line, plus a new one that’s absolutely incredible.

Weekend with Bernie (the Brewer)
Last night I booked the big annual pilgrimage to Denver to catch some Rockies baseball at Coors Field. We’ll be going August 12-15th, to catch two of the games in the series against the Brewers, which should be awesome. We’re staying at the Warwick again, which was a pretty decent place, although it’s a little…

Alameda
We went to Alameda yesterday, to find a used book store we saw in Oakland magazine, but also to just check out the island a little more. Alameda’s a little strip of an island just over from us in Oakland, and it’s an odd curiosity, because it’s so much different than Oakland, and yet we’re…

The Internal Locus
I’ve spent all morning picking away at some automatic writing that has to do with 2008, which is always weird. I mean, it’s weird to write nostalgic writing about a period that’s two years ago, and it’s more weird to talk about it here, when you can just click on a link about three inches…

Interview from 2006
I was digging through my hard drive and found a set of questions and answers I wrote for Mike Whybark, for an article in the short-lived Now Playing magazine back in 2006. I don’t think the article ever made it to print, but for kicks, here’s the answers I sent back to him. I’ll put…
