You know, it occurred to me - with all the joking about having someone you've never met come to visit, or going to stay with someone you've never met, wouldn't it be ... um, amusing ... for such a situation to turn up on someone's doorstep wearing a bloody apron and carrying a plastic axe?

OK ... I'll shut up now.

My mom's all "Oh, I saw ita's name..." We need to go back to L.A. so she can meet her. My mom is, like, an ita fan. Any time she watches a woman kick somebody's ass, she's like "Could ita do that?" And I have to say 'maybe" because I can't tell martial arts apart.

erika, I think to be on the safe side, you should just say, "...with her pinky."

This is true.

Last night my mother asked me if I'd heard of a book with a funny title about Buffy fans, and I got all ridiculously excited and proud to tell her that the author is, in fact, a Buffista. Yay!

Silly (or maybe not so silly) question. With HP7 due out next weekend and with people a) reading at various rates and b) getting their mitts on the book at differing times, what are the whitefont guidelines? One week after publication? Two? Enter at your own risk?

My suggestion would be one week, but I could go for longer (or shorter) than that. I don't really mind white font, so if people want it for a longer period of time, I can go with that.

I'm hoping to finish by Monday morning.

Read a book, read a book, read a motherfuckin' book.

To be shown in libraries across the country??

We are having 'wild , wacky, and weird videos from the internet" ath the library. But we won't be showing that one.

But children should know to brush their teeth, brush their teeth, brush their goddamn teeth.
