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.
Everytime I say, "I'll discuss it with my agent," I feel like a huge poseur.
Well, practice the cool pose with a cigarette in one hand and a cocktail or your sunglasses in the other.
No matter how you feel about it, the fact is that you are an author and you do have an agent. It's a fact. Like your awesome hair.
Allyson has awesome hair.
Allyson is a writer.
Allyson's book is being published this year.
Allyson has an agent.
I think you're only a poseur if your agent is imaginary.
Yeah, I'm a poseur when I say I'm going to discuss something with my agent. Really, of course, I mean Allyson's agent.
Allyson's a poseur poseur.
Really, of course, I mean Allyson's agent.
It really is a small world, right?
She wrote to me to say that she met Kat n' Lori, and that they seemed so familiar, and suddenly she was all, "Gay Wedding Tree! OMG!" And she felt like a big fan.

A survey by researchers at Villanova University has found that 85 percent of Roman Catholic dioceses that responded had discovered embezzlement of church money in the last five years, with 11 percent reporting that more than $500,000 had been stolen.
85%!
So cool, Allyson.
So traffic was HORRID (3 accidents) and I got home late and UPS just left another freaking postit. I didn't sign it in the right space. Save me from anal-retentive UPS people.
I checked, and holy crap, MK is probably 14. At his adoption in 1995, they guessed he was 2. And he'll have had diabetes since summer of 2003. Devi'll be 10 this year.
And lisah, I know you have huge cats, but that picture of dog-sized Swifty next to Frank? HUGE ORANGE CAT.

That's cool -- they're two reporters whose stuff I pay attention to, because one has the religion beat, and the other has nonprofits. It's like a crossover!

Oh, also, I'm not at all surprised about the 85% number. I wonder what the rate is at cash-heavy small businesses, and then businesses in general. I mean, I've been told about embezzlement at 20% of the places I've worked, and I don't have anything to do with accounting, so there's no reason for me to know, and we don't deal in cash, so it's not that easy.
