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. 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...

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. ...

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...

TRUMP VS. CHICAGO VS. MOJOFICTION

It’s a three-way battle for Midwest supremacy!

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 →

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...
