"An Important Message from Mephistopheles, Servant of the Prince of the Devils, From his Condo in Boca Raton"

A short piece by me in today's McSweeney's (inspired, in large part, by the sudden realization that there were far more adaptations of Dr. Faust than seemed absolutely necessary, although the one that triggered the insight, Randy Newman's, does not appear -- nor does the other Dolen work, Damn Yankees, make an appeareance. B/c I sometimes forget things).

There is at least one NaboPop entry, one Nabokovilian entry that need to be added to the site, but when that'll be is anybody's guess.

For now, I'm looking forward to seeing the Decemberists come to town, discovering Orlando's Stardust video store, and doing as much work as possible on the thesis.

I think I'm using Kill Bill as the template: Lots of dessert and only a smidgen of anything else.
