This is the mixed media blog of James Foreman. He writes things.

Favorite topics include art, history, modern life, pop culture, dating, sex, atheism, science, stories, whimsy, magic, writing and self-deprecation.

You can read a fiction story he wrote in the bestselling Machine of Death anthology, a true story he wrote in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette or a funny thing he wrote for McSweeney's.

He's working on a novel. It's going okay.

a special audio mix - “Autumelancholy”

This is a very James-y mix, as anybody who knows me will agree. What do you expect from me, a Tom Selleck-y mix?

If you know me and you want a copy I might be able to arrange it.

There are ghosts and cold weather and dead leaves and sadness here, because that’s autumn to me. It’s also my favorite season ever.
