Ethan's book is available for pre-order! Go buy it!
(About the price, this publisher mainly sells to libraries and academic institutions, so it's priced like a textbook. Hopefully they'll be able to put out a more public-friendly paperback or e-book release in the future!!)
Can I have some interview ~ma around 1:30pm PST? I have a preliminary phone interview with a tech company.
My sister has taken a turn for the worse. Prayers or vibes or good thoughts if you have them would be welcome. This may just be a reaction to the chemo, but we'll know more later.
May I please have more interview~ma at 2pm PST today? Second round of phone interviews for a job that I really want.
I don't deserve it based on my board presence lately but please send some easy passing ~Ma for my grandma in oklahoma. We've had a running gag that she's my favorite grandma (because she's been my only one since I was 1yr old). I'm very lucky to be sitting by her bed.
Thank you. It worked as Ma always does. She went peacefully and that's all I could ask.
I have a new piece up at Hilobrow on Nathanael West, best known as the author of Day of the Locust but a fascinating confabulist and all-around intriguing guy.
Please to click the FB Like at Hilobrow, and/or retweet if you are inclined. Danke schoen.
I'm taking a big risk, career-wise today.
Please, could I have some 'it's going to be awesome and we can't wait to get it out there' ~ma at 1pm DC time?
I'll say more when I can, and would appreciate all the good thoughts possible.
I have a closing date set for Nov. 6ht, y'all. It's almost over. I just have to get the homeowners policy taken care of an it's all done but for the signing.
Then I have to get my stuff out of storage, and it'll all be over. I can't wait (though dealing with my stuff is going to be a slog given the amount of space I've gone down to.
