i just posted a new story that i wrote while on vacation, a trip to walmart.  the part about walmart is mostly true, except the ending.  the real ending was too boring. 

i also changed a few things on the home site, www.noconversation.com.  instead of being titled “parlor” it is now titled “no conversation”

this change deeply saddens me.  it’s been parlor since the beginning, since the nasty conception 4 or 5 or 6 years ago.  i think it’s about 5 now.  having the address parlor42.com initially, a poor site name (“what’s your site? parlor…234 or 312 or something?”  what is it about 42 that is so fricking hard to remember??) as far as describing the soul of the site.  then noconversation.com, a name brought by pressure and necessity.  i’ve come to find it much more meaningful and useful than parlor.  but i hate saying that…it’s like backstabbing a good friend. but, it had to be done.

there’s also a new picture up on the main page.  it’s the first picture of me i’ve ever put on it.  the blacked out eyes are for effect…and for protection when walmart reads the story i wrote about their fine store…..and also barnes and noble…hopefully more.  but lucky for me, the demigods of these stores don’t read.
