Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

But I have a somewhat irrational (ok, maybe all the way irrational) dislike of tao of titles.

I have a totally rational dislike of them. They always sound to me like copycat advice books propped up on really vagued-up Eastern bullshit and sold to business types. (And, sadly, I don't disagree at all with the "marketable" assessment.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Love this, and I don't see it as particularly unmarketable.

And the "tao of" titles are probably a little too numerous at this point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's always "Zen and the Art of Lingerie Sales."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Or "Zen and the Pantyhose Man"

Punishingly Intricate

I'm partial to The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You. I think publishers will fear it, maybe.

A Pantyhose Man is a much scarier concept to me!

(I think both of those titles are great. I'm not a publisher though.)

Art Crawl!!!

Happy Birthday Jilli! I hope that the procedure goes well.

Isn't it funny how it seems that every year all the OTHER guys in People's Sexiest Man alive are sexier than the guy on the cover?

And for askye's fluffy cat, may I suggest the Norwegian Forest Cat? They are like a cobbier Maine Coon Cat and I met a most impressive one at a cat show. His front paws were at least as big, if not bigger than my hands.

I'm good with calling Matthew McConaughey the sexiest man alive, at least for a month or twelve.

He's kinda pretty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've been told that perkins the cat is probably part Norwegian forest cat, and it's safe to say he's pretty darn fluffy [link]

Happy Birthday Jilli!

I'm partial to The Kid Behind the Counter Hates You, but I may be biased from having more experience with snotty clerks than panty hose.
