This Week's Bullet Points

1. The new Amnesty International Bob Dylan collection, Chimes of Freedom, which includes Dylan covers by 76 different artists from Johnny Cash to Flogging Molly, is quite a treat. The best cover is Mariachi El Bronx's version of "Love Sick."

2. Am I the only one who was excited about the return of Cougartown? Everyone seems so embarrassed to admit liking that show.

3. My new horror short story, "Miss Locks", has been accepted by Untreed Reads. Woot! More on that later.

4. Smash is really good. I wasn't expecting that.

5. Viola Davis should be in at least 5 films a year. That woman is brilliant.

6. Goal update: Regarding my goal to change my living situation this year, today builders began on an addition to the house. There's a lot of banging going on (not in the porno way), disrupting my writing. But goals require sacrifice to be achieved. Hope all this disruption doesn't piss off any of the old ghosts in this place.

7. I reached 1000 Twitter followers today! I realize that's not Ashton standards. It's a start, though.

hope that Smash is a success; it's a really good show - largely a group of talented people with serious theater chops trying to make their mark in the medium the hallmark of which is mediocrity.

Congrats on the story acceptance and the Twitter follower milestone!

And yay about the house addition getting started. :)

Man, I love Cougar Town! You know what, me and you, that should be the group.

There is an amazing Viola Davis interview on NPR from last week. You can download it from their site. http://www.npr.org/2012/02/13/146708601/viola-davis-the-fresh-air-interview

What are you wearing around the house while those men are working? Hmm?

I'll have to catch up on SMASH. haven't seen it yet.

Yay! Other SMASH and COUGARTOWN fans!

Chris, Thank you!

Damn, I forgot Smash started, I love Angelica Houston! And on the home addition, my only hope is that you have some hot builders there with tight jeans on, with the top of a muscular ass being revealed!
