Throwback Thursday: THIS PEN.

Leave a comment

Simply put, these pens were fun as hell.  Remember how cool it was to click the different colors, even if you weren’t writing or drawing anything?

Why don’t they make them anymore?  iPhones be damned — I know kids these days would love these things.

Publication notice: Eric Robert Nolan to be featured in The Bees Are Dead

4 Comments

I received some great news this morning — my colleagues over at The Bees Are Dead have elected to publish a short story of mine.  Its title is “Shine Now, Fiercely, Forever,” and it is a science fiction/horror story about the perils of time travel.

The story should appear sometime over the next month or so — I will link to it here when it does.

Thank you, Philippe Atherton-Blenkiron and Dennis Villelmi!  I am honored!

Fascist Times at Ridgemont High.

Holy shit, I should be charging you people for these jokes.

Anyway … To everyone I know who participated in The Women’s March — including a NoVa pal and several of my college classmates — congratulations on an amazing and successful event!

Job well DONE!
