Dammit.

Who rules the Internet? I rule the Internet! But not the other ones Dubya was talking about. Just this one.

I am now writing two, count 'em two online columns, the newest of which is Infante's Inferno, on Writemovies.com.

"Infante's Inferno," of course, is the name of my Live Journal, and was also the name of my old column for the "Worcester InCity Times," before they went crazy we had a falling out. This incarnation will deal largely with culture, mostly the pop variety, with my usual ... let's call it "verve" and be kind, shall we?

Of course, I'm still writing How To Succeed As A Failing Writer for Gotpoetry.com. Funny enough, HTSAAFW is the successor to the column I used to write for WriteMovies, "Writing For the Real World."

And everything old is new again.

Enjoy!

HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
