Hippo Birdies, Kate P.!
Has anyone mentioned here that there's now officially a Tropical Depression Alpha?
Lydia: But you are a vampire. Spike: If I'm not, I'm gonna be pissed about drinking all that blood.

Alpha is supposed to peter out in around Bermuda, I think.
We're suppposed to get the remnants of Wilma tomorrow as a Nor'easter. I suspect the weather will be fine until I get to work, leaving me with a nasty walk home.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Many happy returns of the day, Kate

Zombie flash mob hits Madison
My little university town has a Zombie parade at about this time every year. At midnight, fifty Zombies assemble on the edge of downtown, and they wander down the sidewalks and through the bars. I admit to being a little scared the first time I rounded a corner and saw a dozen Zombies stumbling toward me. The fear passed when I noticed that most of the Zombies were drinking Miller Lite. It was late in the parade.

Always a clear sign of the need for BRAINS.

I've read your excerpts. Your work is fresh and funny and insightful. It will find a publisher.
What Rob Said.
Happy Kate P day!

Happy Birthday, Kate!

Allyson, don't lose heart. You're an excellent writer - you've got such a distinctive voice. It'll find an outlet.
JZ is seriously bereft that we can't attend a Halloween event next weekend with zombie go-go dancers.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thank you for encouragement. One publisher wrote and said it was presumptuous of me to compare my work to Sarah Vowell, who is beloved.
And I thought, but I'm not really comparing my work to her at all, I'm just saying it's a collection of essays about unusual subject matter. Bitch.

You're beloved too. Just on a smaller scale, right now.
