Littles The Labradoodle.

As you can see, Littles has uncommonly sophisticated fashion sense.

Mickey Kaus thinks Littles’s bow is very manipulative. I think it’s just fancy.

(Are you surprised I posted something? These days this is a totally top secret blog-thing.)

I’ve just read the completed version of the FiveChapters.com holiday tag-team story, appearing on Dave Daley’s gorgeous Five Chapters the week of December 14. Matthew Specktor, Jerry Stahl, John Haskell, Strawberry Saroyan and I each take a turn at a short story about Holidays In Vegas. Drink, gambling, family, and an unlikely hero.

You can read it next week. I’ll link to it. I promise! If I remember.

Megan Halpern, formerly Megan The Publicist, Driving Force Behind The Not-Blog/Blog-Thing, has a new project on Dailylit.com: Authors In The Kitchen. I have contributed in the small way I can, with a recipe for extra-limey gin and tonics and an anecdote about wormy fish.

Do You Know What It’s Like To Laugh Like That?

We’re Working returns. The new season’s inaugural episode features no bathrobes, the return of season one’s favorite un-friend Rafi, a remarkably sober Russel Taylor, and Nathan Lee Graham. We loved Nathan Lee Graham in “The Wild Party,” but now that we know how versatile he is, we are in love with him. Which is to say we are going to stalk him. He is our favorite thing since the Observer’s US Open coverage.

(I don’t know who the first person plural is. It’s just me, Katherine, your host at the Katherine Taylor not-blog/thing. Actually, the not-blog/thing is a real burden. I don’t know how a person keeps this up.)

I watched Episode 9 about 15 times and laughed harder each time.

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

The US Open, with unflinching commentary brought to you by Katherine Taylor favorites Zachary Woolfe and John Koblin, begins tomorrow.

The cocktails! The sun hats! The backhands and backhanded compliments!

Let’s all spend the next two weeks making comments on Zack Woolfe’s blog posts. I promised him I would try. (Hi, Zack!)

We’re Working Elsewhere.

My brother Russel’s epic web series, We’re Working, is on hiatus. That clever young man has escaped all the distractions and temptations of the city and holed himself up in a charming little house in the Cotswolds:

Lucky Russel! I hope he finishes his script before the ceiling falls in.
