Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

My cat wallows in things that smell like me when I'm away, and clings to me when I get back. She says hello when I get home (she is Egyptian, which is like Siamese only not cross-eyed), and begs, beeeegs, to be let into the basement whenever I approach that door. She sits by my chair when I am typing and stares at me with sorrowful disdain until I let her onto my lap. Like now!

It's nice to be needed so pathetically by something that avowedly does not have the power to vote and will never be able to enter therapy and blame me for my crappy parenting.

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

Book related squee:

So I just got an email from my editor that read: Also, great news: our sales folks have been out to the major chains recently, and they’re loving Vampire People. We’ve gotten very strong response from both Borders and B&N, and we should be shipping them a good number of copies to start out. And they both said it was the sample essays that made the case for them; they love the writing.But I'm whitefonting it because I'm totally afeared that they'll change their minds and I'll look all foolish.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Woot! Allyson! That is so freakin' cool.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Great news, Allyson!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Allyson, does the book have a specific release date? (IOW, when should I start asking my local indie bookstores to carry it?)

The status is NOT quo.

Allyson! Unwhitefont that; it's great news! (And utterly unsurprising--your essays are wonderful, and good creative non-fiction is hot right now.)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Allyson!! That's awesome!
