Completely random question: there is an SUV parked outside my apt. building whose alarm has gone off for over 20 minutes every single night for the past week. My building is right next to the highway, so I'm sure the noise/vibrations from trucks sets it off. I put a note on the damned thing tonight asking them to turn the f*ing thing off. If they don't, can I call the cops and would it do any good?? I am seriously tired of the continual alarms.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

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?

Chikat, I'd try. Noise ordinances or something. Or if your city has a non-emergency line (we have, um 311? I think?) I'd call them and ask for advice.
I knew what a guerrilla was long before I could spell it (thanks to central american messes) and it lead to some early strange images.
Still have frozen naan uneaten. I really need to make up another batch of jasmine rice, then I'll have palak paneer and the orange chicken.

I honestly expect that Allyson could get some sniffs from interviewy types, because of all this reaction.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Of all the booky people around here, erinaceous is the one whose books would be most comparable to yours (from a marketing standpoint). So I would exploit her as a resource if I were you. And since I have personally exploited her as a resource on my last book (when she helped set up my Chicago reading), I think you'll be in good hands.
I imagine erinaceous wouldn't hesitate to help....

Yeah, I think she might have an angle to work there.
Not that erinaceous requires a lot of persuasion. She's naturally very helplful.

The status is NOT quo.
Just think, Allyson--the next time we get a massive flood of newbies, they might very well be your fans.

...and we'll have this entire navelgazey debate over whether or not to open and Allysonverse thread.
Jesse, back at ya.
yep. Guerra is Spanish for war and "illa" is one of many diminutives. When I read that it seemed so obvious, given that I knew, like sarameg, the word before I could read it. But the word guerrilla is much older than the central american messes and actually was first used in English papers during the Spanish-American War.
I have Chicken Tikka Masala, rice and naan fresh from the tandoor. Take that taunty, Lee! AND I have an appointment at Burke Williams tomorrow. So I see your Naan and raise you a facial.
