Life Itself (a book review)

I've been slowly reading Life Itself for months, one chapter at a time, usually late in the evening. I didn't take my time because the book is boring or confusing, or because it isn't compelling. I took my time because this book demands it. This trip down someone else's memory lane isn't for the trivia nut. It's... Continue Reading →

Riding the METRA Train (or: Subliminal Messages?)

The relationship between Metra passengers and conductors here in Chicagoland has never been pretty.  We've seen some serious arguments and we've seen passengers thrown off the train (not while it was moving...). During the holidays, people tend to be better behaved.  Today, the hard-working staff at MojoFiction traveled by train to the city and everything... Continue Reading →

TELEVISION IS A HARSH MISTRESS

Okay, so several years ago we here at MojoFiction thought it would be a good idea to cut cable T.V.

Unfortunately, it looks like two giants are already duking it... Continue Reading →

Starbucks + Oprah = Enlightenment

We here at MojoFiction frequent Starbucks.  Don’t judge us.  It’s a choice, not an addiction.  We can quit whenever we want, which will be never ever ever, or until something trendier comes along. When we visit Starbucks we usually order a simple iced Chai Tea Latte (tall).  We like this drink a lot because we... Continue Reading →

The Full Chicago Sporting Event Experience

We here at MojoFiction celebrated our 40th birthday on Friday night by crying ourselves to sleep because we are now old. But we also celebrated by taking in a Chicago Bulls basketball game on Saturday night. Instead of attending the game with our good friend Mr. Jack N. Coke (along with some regular friends, probably),... Continue Reading →
