Okay, so several years ago we here at MojoFiction thought it would be a good idea to cut cable T.V. We have not missed it one bit. Until last night. That’s when the hydra to our Hercules reared its multiple heads. And by hydra we mean NBC. And by Hercules we mean MojoFiction. What? That’s... Continue Reading →
An Apple a Day Will Give You U2
When it comes to our blog, MojoFiction isn't exactly a current events kind of guy. Except for that celebrity-nude-photos-in-the-cloud hacking scandal. We're keeping a close eye on that one (too close, according the district attorney). And now comes the Apple – U2 free-album scandal. Only in America could receiving free stuff be looked at with scorn. ... Continue Reading →
September Bells are Ringing
Ah, September. That magical time of year when Christmas decorations go up in department stores across America! The good folks at MojoFiction feel bad for atheists. They already don’t like Christmas, but now, thanks to certain stores that will remain nameless (for instance, we won’t say Macy’s), they have to deal with it starting in... Continue Reading →
DOG DAYS: ON BEING UNEMPLOYED IN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER
We here at MojoFiction have been away for a while. We did not intend to be. But back in June we had just made a huge scientific discovery using our rarely-mentioned PhD in neuroscience from one of the nation's top schools that operates only on the internet and, for some reason, only accepts tuition payments...

Operation Shakespeare (a book review)
Officially, this book is sub-titled "The True Story of an Elite International Sting". Though calling it "Elite" might be pushing it a little far (Simon and Schuster's marketing department apparently thought they were not pushing it), Operation Shakespeare, by John Shiffman, nevertheless tells a fascinating tale of modern-day weapons and technology smuggling and the long, often bureaucratic game...

TRUMP VS. CHICAGO VS. MOJOFICTION
It’s a three-way battle for Midwest supremacy! As you know, MojoFiction has been trying to take over the tri-state area for years, but a strangely violent platypus keeps thwarting our plans. So we’ve left that job to someone else and set our sights on Chicago. 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 →
METRA Train Service Reveals Top-Secret Load-N-Go Program
The executive staff here at MojoFiction accidentally went in to work yesterday, which we take no responsibility for. We would have never made it in if our car hadn't started. Stupid German engineering. Anyway, as many of you know it was bitter cold, so we threw on our swants and figured everything would be okay,... Continue Reading →
And On The 8th Day He Said, “Let There Be Awards”
We weren’t going to post anything until after the new year, but there may have been some developments in the end-of-year awards category. You know, probably. We’re still trying to figure it out. But when you’re a super-famous, trendsetting, international magnate like MojoFiction, these things happen. If we could count how many times we were... Continue Reading →
How to Survive the Holidays
It’s been a long week since this whole thing began last Tuesday. We haven’t even had time to get to this until today. It all started with the lighting of the Christmas tree in Daley Plaza here in Chicago. They lit it two days before Thanksgiving, leading us to believe that Thanksgiving had been cancelled...
