Eats Things That Aren't Food: As a Writer: The Hunger Games
http://eatsthingsthatarentfood.blogspot.com/2011/01/as-writer-hunger-games.html
Saturday, January 29, 2011. As a Writer: The Hunger Games. I suppose my passion for The Hunger Games. Really stems from my fascination with the propaganda of the Russian Revolution. It's the idea that people can be governed or calmed or emboldened by words rather than by force. Especially statements that are worded in such a way that the truth is barely recognizable, if at all, beneath the layers of rhetoric. So I was drawn early on to Orwell's 1984. I was happy to share this world with Katniss but also ...

Eats Things That Aren't Food: Gay High School: It won’t make a man out of you
http://eatsthingsthatarentfood.blogspot.com/2011/01/gay-high-school-it-wont-make-man-out-of.html
Saturday, January 29, 2011. Gay High School: It won’t make a man out of you. I would have given anything to ride around the back roads of my small hometown in the pickup truck of the seventeen and stubbly and straight Jason Tessero. We’d toss empty, generic beer cans into the back and say things like, “Hell yeah! And I did. Really. But I still felt slighted. What’s a gay boy to do? Where was I to find all things masculine? When could I get my share of the “dude life”? See, gay high school isn’t rea...
