Selections from Jenny Holzer's Living Series selected from her installation in the sculpture garden at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller fame) included this short story with their Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends book. I thought it would make a good Humorous Speech to be read competitively. See if you agree. It's called The Pain Addict.

Using Mark Pilgrim's Kant Generator Pro I wrote a playwriting module that wrote this random play. If you've got a mac and already downloaded the program, try the module out for yourself.

Alright kids, look out, because this story is about sex and the trouble some people have with actors. Yes, I'm afraid it's The Warren Beatty Story (Temporarily removed due to adult situations).

Last time I left Boulder, Colorado I had sold my car and had to take a bus home to Minnesota. Armed with nothing to read, no food, and a PowerBook 150 laptop, I wrote this documentary (Removed. Profanity. And a dire need for editing).

Before I left Boulder, mes amis et moi had a run in with a girl named Jen, who proceeded to... Hey, it's all in the Jen Song....

Drunk Call The story of an imagined (I really hope) telephone conversation. (With a description like that, I removed it. Better safe than sorry.)

The Letter A story of apartmental love.

Naked A slurred description of... something... I can't tell what exactly myself... (Removed. Actually the page that turns up in the search engines most often.)
