I’m on deadline tonight with a major deliverable (ahhrrrrr! I just used the word deliverable!) so here I am careening into another week with major blogging operations on hold.
Well, maybe after tomorrow I can rev the OcPot up again. In the meantime, I will say this: Now that I’ve been on Facebook a little […]

Mid-January Frosted Mini-Roundup
Posted by Ocelopotamus on January 17th, 2008 at 10:58 am
I’m starting to worry that Ocelopotamus has become like that stock old-man character from sitcoms and things, who falls asleep for a while and then wakes up sputtering and tries to pick the conversation up wherever it was five minutes ago, as if no time has passed.
On the other hand, it’s heartening that I […]

10-Second Interview
Posted by Ocelopotamus on November 20th, 2007 at 7:04 am
I had a fun little time doing the 10-Second Interview app for my Facebook profile just now, and I thought I’d share the results here, too, for those of you who have yet to be assimilated by the book of the faces.
Plus, you’re getting the extended mix that doesn’t all show up on the main […]

Another Towel Thrown In
Posted by Ocelopotamus on November 10th, 2007 at 5:36 pm
Okay, another longstanding support beam of resistance crumbled around noon yesterday, and I can now be found on Facebook.
Still holding the line on MySpace, though. Must … remain … strong … remember the Murdoch!
So, um, cough cough: Facebook me!
On the bright side, Facebook appears to be another place where I can try to entice/convince the […]

Review: Crowded House in Chicago, August 19, 2007, with Liam Finn
Posted by Ocelopotamus on August 20th, 2007 at 5:47 pm
Crowded Freaking House, man.
Crowded Freaking House.

Russell Hoban, The Kraken, and the US Edition of Linger Awhile
Posted by Ocelopotamus on June 5th, 2007 at 8:24 am
A few days ago I got a package in the mail from the David R. Godine publishing house, who last year republished both of Russell Hoban’s hilarious Captain Najork children’s books in the US (and did a lovely job of it).
Inside the package was an advance copy of the forthcoming US edition of Russ’s most […]
