Informative information, which is not the same as informatics

(Informatics is a super-cool major offered at one of the universities where I teach. It seems like a made-up word, and I adore made-up words: language is fluid and referential and NEAT.)

But I have information for you. New primate fiction, written by (Vicariously) Yours Truly, at Fiction Southeast.

(my interior monologue wants to tell you about my day. my logic-brain says nah. I'll hashtag it, inspired by the Oscars: #ThereWillBeAngst #NotRelevantIn2014ButHumorMe #AmericanAdjunctHustle #HerANDHim #TodayIsawSomebodyWhoLookedLikeDanielDayLewisButClearlyWasnt #fin)

Somehow I am doing four readings this month. FOUR. This is out of the ordinary. This is fun. This is a reminder that I will have to keep my fancy T-shirt clean at least four times this March. Reading twice with my friend Bryan Furuness (see #1 and #3), and have strong urge to ask him what he'll be wearing, as I do in these situations, but suspect he will look at me blankly, like, Um, #IWillBeWearingClothes?
