I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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

I dont understand why the federal tax on 2500 is 925. Is that right? seriously?

Gilmore Girls: Hey, I think that Logan and Rory just communicated about something. . . that non-communication about could have led to ridiculous angry plot twists!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Allyson, you write on fandom--every movie ticket, tv guide and ream of paper is deductible. You ARE itemizing, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's weird how thoroughly I have forgotten snow and the mess it all causes. I think my brain was desperate for the chance.

Not that I like my brain all that much right now, with the smashing migraine and the glayvin and I am really pissed off. Can't drug myself too senseless or consider the ER because I have an interview tomorrow morning. Goddamned annoying.

Man, my GG tape cut off RIGHT in the middle of Lorelai's conversation with Christopher when she is saying that he's the man that she "wants to want" what happened after that?

I dont have a single receipt for any of that. I deducted my computer. I just feel sort of screwed.

I would have had a bigger refund than the book advance. Seriously. Fuck.

Ugh. There are less expensive hobbies than being a writer. After I had to buy a laptop to finish the book, it turns out that I actually paid money to write it.

Angry.

Awww. Writing isn't really a big money making venture unless you're Nora Roberts or Stephen King.

It'll take a while for the royalties to come around too. But it does look like it'll get some good sales so you will get some money eventually. And you could probably parlay the book into writing a regular column somewhere.

Or possibly option the book. That'd be cool.

But don't kill your happy buzz before the book comes out, okay?
