Random I meant to post last post: Mister Kitty is being fucking cute. Sitting next to me posting, showing me his shaved belly, giving me guiltmaking looks. OK the last part isn't so cute. More just cat. er, and killing a baby spoon and a OJ carton seal.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
YOU GAVE IN AFTER THE THREAT HAD PASSED! Hereti...Idola.. BAD TASTE!
I needed to gather intelligence.
Hey, I taste beer once a year just to make sure it still tastes nast. I need to quit the Jagermeister checks, though.

Dude, beer ALWAYS tastes gross. One trip to a Soviet beer factory did it. Never tempted since.

It's just a little snicker. Just a wee one, I swear.
I... but I... Eh, it's a fair cop.
Geldof's last album is really good, though! He's all bitter and stuff! Understandably.

Mmm, beer.

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
Awwww. My aim is true. I'm so glad I get to hear Elvis Costello to croon my name.
The Alias Victor Garber bicycle is darling. It's sort of an old fashioned pewter color, with a SPYDADDY plate on the back.

Whee bike!
sarameg, I even usually ask for extra gravy. Because they don't give me enough gravy. MMM GRAVY.

I also agree about beer = nast. Just out of highschool, I worked in a drivethru. The handle on a 24 pack of Bud bottles broke as I was pulling it out of the cooler, and half of them shattered in the drivethru. In 90 degree heat. It STANK. Haunts me still.

Allyson! When is your deadline? I was waiting to send you stuff after you were done, because I thought that tempting (I hope) distractions were the last thing you needed, and it would be a nice reward if I was clever enough to time it right. Which I'm probably not, but it's nice to pretend. So I keep meaning to ask and then thinking I should know, but I don't, because I suck.

My deadline to the publisher is July 1st. My personal deadline is June 1st, so I have time to mull it and get a beta or two on the complete thing.
I'm taking a week off at the end of May to complete it.
I can't wait to be done. I need to get to the next one. If I can sell the next one...damn. That'd be something.

Excellent. I'll mail stuff at the end of next week. It's all packed and everything, so I'm not even being absentminded like usual!
And then you can write your second book, and tell me what the hell to write a book about, and then we'll both be rich and famous and we can slam each other via our publicists, and ita will have to break up the fights we start when we run into each other at trendy clubs, and one of us will date the other's ex-husband, and Kristen can write a thinly-veiled sitcom about the whole thing, and there'll be a True Hollywood Story about it.
...I mentioned the beer before, right?
