Apparently my column, Full Frontal, which debuted yesterday in the newly launched Newport Mercury has stirred up the sixty-somethings in town. According to one well-established businessman my column “appeals to prurient desires.” His daughter even said it was “gross.”

What did I write my first piece on, you ask? Karaoke etiquette. Yep. It’s really not the least bit sexy. It’s kinda funny! But I guess they’re just not into it. I get that.

My peeps at the paper say it’s causing quite a buzz, and they’re glad. So that’s good.

Anyway, I write a new column every week. I’m not sure if it’s going to be online or not—right now there aren’t any articles on the site—but you can go there to win some sandals. And do other stuff. It’s neat!

I’m writing film reviews too. They probably won’t be considered quite as “gross” as my column. But I guess you never can tell. My dad writes letters to everyone that does anything mildly non-Catholic or references the devil in some way. He wanted his alma mater to change their sports team’s name from the Blue Devils. So, I get who’s upset.
