And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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

Heh.

Although, in retrospect, I could have written something positing why the phrase "boob" is used as a synonym for "idiot", but I think that's more cultural mysogyny than I really want to explore.

So, I'm going for a good old-fashioend dissection of lust, which is turning out to be work.

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

Victor, why not go for a short monograph on the subject of the American male's fixation on mammaries? You know, the Golden Arches, all that happy crap? Wanting to be taken off formula and back on Mama's Milk?

Because European men, bless their discerning little libidos, tend far more toward being ass and leg appreciators. Hooters as an eatery wouldn't catch on in France or Greece, even if they were serving cordon bleu.

I'm pretty deep into the thing already, but yeah, you're not too far off from where I ended up going -- looking at the fact that it's never really been my primary fixation.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Challenge #97 (camouflage) is now closed.

Challenge #98 is Baby, You Can Drive My Car. Feel free to play as fast and loose with that as you like.

Oh, man, I like that idea, Teppy. I really like it.

I see some erotica in my near future.

Not a drabble, yet, but I guess Cruel Sister didn't suck, since it's available for pre-order at Amazon Canada

Art Crawl!!!

Does it have a different release date in the US? Or is it not being released here?

Oh, it's being released here. Probably won't be up at amazon US until late spring early summer. I was just being amazed it was up so early, anywhere; the release date is Autumn 2006.

So, um, now I can finally say something.

I've just changed agencies. The person taking on a full-scale repping of the Kinkaid Chronicles is the woman who was there for most of the stuff in meatspace.

So, from Donald Maass Literary Agency to Barbara Bova Literery Agency.

Marlene's my agent.

I am so. damned. relieved.
