First, there's Lit Blogging 1.0, the first in an ongoing series of posts looking at the literary blogosphere with a particular emphasis on L.A.

Sat, 22 Dec 2007 03:13 GMT I have moved, both physically and electronically. As for the physical, I'm living in Las Vegas right now. Long story. I'll tell ya later. I am also no longer posting here at 8763 Wonderland but can be found at my new site, Carver's Dog, a depository for fictional and semi-fictional musings from L.A.'s most far-flung [...] http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/12/12/moving-on/ 8763wonderland.com http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/12/12/moving-on/? Wed, 12 Dec 2007 22:34 GMT “I had a depressing thought the other day,” said Avery. He shook a packet of Splenda into his iced tea and eyed the waitress hungrily. “You have depressing thoughts all the time. What's unique about this one?” “Well … you're forty-eight and I'm fifty-one.” “Wow. They can teach chimpanzees how to count.” “What I'm getting at is this [...] http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/iced-tea-and-pie/ 8763wonderland.com http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/09/26/iced-tea-and-pie/? Wed, 26 Sep 2007 06:49 GMT Let’s tell a tale of a writer. We shall call him Ishmael. Like his father before him he dwells in the hinterlands of San Francisco, North Beach if you ask me to be precise, a rather seedy and sordid part of town, nudity and booze galore at the strip clubs that line Broadway – where [...] http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/09/19/ishmael-in-san-francisco/ 8763wonderland.com http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/09/19/ishmael-in-san-francisco/?

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 00:04 GMT The soft-spoken literature professor smiled knowingly. “I overcame that problem,” he said. “I found a psychiatrist in Nashville – where I live and work – who specializes in creative types. He put me on ten milligrams of amphetamines once a day.” “It worked?” “Almost immediately. It didn’t bring back the manic episodes – I mean, who would want [...] http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/28/sunflowers/ 8763wonderland.com http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/28/sunflowers/? Fri, 29 Jun 2007 00:41 GMT Nate settled onto the stool next to mine. He plopped his cell phone and a battered paperback of “Justine” down on the dark brown marble bar top. I examined the book cover with a disapproving glare. “What? You don't like Durrell?” “Never read him. Have no intention of reading him.” Nate ordered a Sierra Nevada from the bartender. “How's [...] http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/26/in-which-the-narrator-dismisses-durrell/ 8763wonderland.com http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/26/in-which-the-narrator-dismisses-durrell/? Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:56 GMT I have not been dry lately, despite my doctor's advice in February to do so, but I do have to depend on the generosity of my bar mates at Vesuvio in order to bend a pint of ale or an Old Crow and 7 in a bucket glass. I'm afraid I'm turning into that classic [...] http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/baseball/ 8763wonderland.com http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/baseball/? Tue, 26 Jun 2007 00:55 GMT “You know a lot about the law, don’t you?” “A little more than the next guy on some things, yeah.” “Okay,” Cal says excitedly, “we’ve got a problem out at the work site.” Cal was a licensed contractor and the latest work site was a 70-year old single family dwelling in South San Francisco. Cal was to repair [...] http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/bones/ 8763wonderland.com http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/bones/? Mon, 25 Jun 2007 22:49 GMT The minute I light up my cigarette, the cell phone rings. It's mom. “How are you?” she says. “Not good, as usual.” “When do you work again?” “Friday night is my door man job.” “Do you have enough money for you two to make it until then?” “It's two days. I have forty bucks. We'll get by.” “Did you get the money [...] http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/21/connies-motor-home/ 8763wonderland.com http://8763wonderland.wordpress.com/2007/06/21/connies-motor-home/?

Wed, 15 Mar 2006 19:33 GMT March 13, 1947 Los Angeles Detectives questioned James Joseph Tiernan Jr., 30, tonight about his movements Monday night, both before and after the time he claimed that Evelyn Winters, 42, left his hotel room at 912 W. Sixth Street. Winters turned up dead just after midnight Tuesday in the railyard at Ducommun Street, her clothes in disarray, with a blood alcohol level of .28, a nearly fatal http://1947project.blogspot.com/2006/03/police-grill-pin-boy-in-winters-whack.html 1947project http://1947project.blogspot.com/2006/03/police-grill-pin-boy-in-winters-whack.html? Tue, 14 Mar 2006 01:23 GMT 1947—a lot of women-killing, a lot of booze. It’s enough to turn one into a teetotaling sub. Almost. And here, a woman killing herself. With booze. Nowadays, her family would call up A&E and she’d be on Intervention. Perfect fodder for the show—someone: somewhere once, nowhere now. Our identified family member has hit bottom. Get them into treatment.
