Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HOORAY for msbelle and mac!!!

I would like a two-week cruise through Hawaii.

Also, I was afraid that msbelle's "poop on papers" was not a response to an earlier post. Thank goodness.

(think David Sedaris amongst Internet geeks),

Also also, THAT's what I'm talking about!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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

Ooooh! I'm so happy msbelle! That's a wonderful post to wake up to.

Someone pointed out the google cache of the media bistro thing. It's an interview with my editor:

Which of the books that you've worked on would you recommend authors look at to get a sense of your preferences/style?

The best example would be The Naked Roommate by Harlan Cohen. This is a prime example of how to write a "reference" book that speaks to its audience, stands out on the shelf, and has an author willing and eager to support the book. For narrative books, see Lincoln's Wrath for how to find a unique angle in a well-covered category (Civil War), or the 2007 release of Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby?, a collection of humorous essays (think David Sedaris amongst Internet geeks), for pure and witty writing.

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

Mac is here! Mac is here! Yippee!! Mac is here!!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Thanks everyone. Outside adventure #1 was a success, despite a sign on the door that says open Sunday 6am-12noon, the PO was locked. The grocery was open and we have a granny cart FULL of food. My favorite thing (which I am sure will not last long), when mac grabbed something off the shelf and said "YES!" and then I said "No", there was no whining or begging.

pure and witty writing

INDEED!
