To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Since I seem to be serial posting all over the gosh-darn interweb thingie:

So, after some pondering, I think I'm going to go ahead with seeking columnists for the "November 3rd Club" online literary journal. Particularly, I'm looking for a "column left," which will be a left-wing sort of deal, and a "column right," which will be more libertarian in bent.

Ideally, it would be something both political and literary in nature, something that connects the intellectual political ideals to the reader on a personal level. Funny from time to time is good, too.

If you're interested, drop me a line at nov3rdsubmissions@yahoo.com with the words "columnist search" in the subject line, and we'll talk.

Also-- of particular interest to this group, I'm dearly in need of fiction.

So nervous. My intended audience has the book right now. Added to the nerves is....it was courtship behavior. You know? Wanna bite my nails...except I used to be a hypochondriac so I could never ever do that...you know where they go, right? Ew. I think he covets your machete, Deb.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

erika, he'll get my machete when he pries it from my cold dead fingers - or when he proves to me that he has any right to it.

I want to sit and write and instead I have to assemble furniture. Meh.

Oooh, furniture. If I was there I'd help, Deb. I like putting furniture together.

We've just had to carry it up the stairs. There are 27 stairs.

We're talking a full size Billy bookcase and a Nygaard table.

My whole body is saying rude things. And we still have to build the fucking bookcase.

You have my sympathies. My mom once bought four billy bookcases with doors and the extenders on top. My muscles twitch just thinking about it.

Too true, Deb. I just think he admires it. Doesn't mean he should have it.

My husband is shimming the Billy. He just asked me if JP and Bree shop there, just for fun. I said maybe, but I bet he gets convenient exacerbations whenever heavy shit has to be moved. And I bet she mutters to herself.

Must build extensions.

The Continuing Story of Connie Cleaning Out Her Books

Anne, the book went out today, should be there by Wednesday.

New book up for grabs--"The Writer's Complete Crime Reference Book", by Martin Roth. Types of crimes, types of weapons, police work from local to international, how gangs operate, etc. Most of this information is probably as easily found and more current on the Internet, but here's a book if you'd like.

Heh. I'm finally catching up on reading, deb. This was the last week of school, and there was no quiet, here. How much have you sent out? My email is overloaded with all sorts of stuff I neglected to delete this week--mostly lj updates. I want to make sure I read all you've sent, and read it in order.

To give you a marker, the last bit I can find that I've received is from the 25th of June and includes the knee. :)
