Sidebar Goodies!
There are a lot of new and exciting things going on in my blog sidebar these days…
I’ve added a widget to my goodreads.com book page so you can check out what I’m reading. I’ll be adding books to this page periodically so keep checking back.
I also added a widget to my new flickr.com page where I’ve begun uploading some of my photos. I’ll be adding more photos as I go through all the photos on my computer. I’ve been wanting to start a flickr page for a long time now, and finally just sat down and started uploading photos. So if you like photography, check out my photos.
One of the most exciting new things in my blog sidebar is the link to buy the erotic fiction anthology I’m on the cover of, 39 and Holding… Him. You know you want to buy the book, so go ahead and buy it!
And don’t forget to buy Noveltown products while you’re buying! I’ve put the links to buy Lords: Part One by N.L. Belardes and the Noveltown Review literary magazine in my blog sidebar. If you don’t already have these Noveltown products you’ll want to pick them up!
All these new sidebar items sure make my blog sidebar more colorful… and hopefully fun for you all too. So get to clicking...

Californication
Writers are a strange breed. The good ones are disheveled, creative, brilliant and a little bit crazy. I always find it interesting to see how Hollywood portrays writers in movies and comedy series. Showtime has hit the nail on the head in Californication a new weekly comedy about a writer.
Californication is about Hank Moody played by David Duchovny, a writer from New York transplanted to Los Angeles and hating every minute of his LA life. Moody is a great name for this character. His book was turned into a successful movie that he hates and now he has a severe case of writer’s block. Hank is still in love with his ex-girlfriend, he’s trying to be a good father to his twelve-year-old daughter and he’s losing himself in casual sex. A lot of casual sex. It reminds me of that great line from Finding Forrester, “Jamal: Women will sleep with you if you write a book? Forrester: Women will sleep with you if you write a bad book.” Hank Moody is living that line in spades. He says what he thinks no matter how off the wall it may be and it works. And yet underneath all the women and the crazy situations, lurks a good heart and a creative soul.
And I'm happy to see Evan Handler in another great show.
I haven’t been this excited about a show since HBO’s Sex and the City and Entourage. To steal a line from my guy friends, Californication rocks the monu-cock with its writing! It’s smart, hilarious, and pushes the boundaries the way Sex and the City did. David Duchovny has found a part he was born to play, he’s irreverent and endearingly sexy at the same time. You can’t help but fall in love with his bad boy/good guy persona.
I love how blogging has been incorporated into the show with Hank taking a job blogging for HelL A magazine. If Hollywood is blogging, then blogging has truly arrived.
Californication is on Showtime Monday nights at 10:30 PM. It’s definitely a show for adults with graphic language and nudity so put your kids to bed beforehand. Tune in and watch Californication you won’t be disappointed!
