Oh my god, this guy Jon Stewart interviewed last night is totally missing the point. He keeps getting angry at Stewart's intentional misunderstanding.
By the end, I thought he was kidding, just deadpan.
Wild monkey love or tender Sarah McLachlan love?

1) you have a car - fries are therefore never undoable, just not worth the effort.
Phffft. Go to bed, sleepy. You'll thank me in the morning. If you are lucky, you get up early enough to read what you need to, refreshed.

TAR: Lake must die! NOW!
Oh, and about the stormy Sunday, the local CBS affiliate stayed on the weather alert ALL DAY. The ABC affilliate was only preempting the commercials during primetime.
Lawrence KS got hit hard early on and then all around the KC area had hail, wind and tornados. Where I live in the mid-town area we had a little rain and a bit of thunder. It was the burbs and the open country that really got hammered. One weatherman said that we had on the one day, the same number of severe storms and funnel clouds reported that we would normally get in an entire season!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Someday I will lick James Spader.

I know from experience, it's really hard to do deadpan and have people get it, unless you're talking to people who know you really well.
TAR: WHY on earth would people who can't swim/are afraid of water do the diving/swimming thing?!? Also I hate Lake.

Jeez, Allyson -- doesn't your publisher have a marketing department? Isn't all that what they get paid to do?
Consuela, if the books I read on how to get published are not shitting me -not so much.
These days publishers pretty much make writers do most of the promotion - at least for most first time authors. They strongly suggest that if you get as far as being able asked for a book proposal to submit a marketing plan with it. This is one of the reasons agents are so wonderful - aside from letting the publisher know the work has been prescreened they do a lot of the stuff editors used to do. If Allyson is being asked to submit suggestions for getting on Oprah from her publisher I would consider it a very good sign. Even if it is a routine form all authors get asked to fill out, it is a good sign that Allyson's publisher, or branch of a publishing mega-corp, is high enough on the food chain for Oprah questions to be on a routine form.
