There have been phases where I got multiple extended messages for some kind of business office
I got a few of these on my home voicemail, and half of that outgoing message is in French. So you're right, and I should have known.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Okay, a quick spin through YouTube, wherein I found both the original and the Alanis version, has confirmed that I had, in fact, at least heard the opening 5-10 seconds of the Fergie version before. I just didn't know what song it was.
I made it through about half of the Fergie version, and maybe 45 seconds of the Alanis version. Don't get me wrong; I think that Alanis is fucking *brilliant* w/the cover, but it's still a weird song, and I should be doing yoga.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's very exciting news, Allyson. Yay!
In other good news, I (a) had a very productive writing day and (b) I got an email from the editor of the Oxford American asking me to pitch a short piece on something I love about the South. An Ode to _______ something. And they pay money for that.
So what do I want to write about?
Possible subjects...
RC Cola
Cicadas
Scrub Pine
Faulknerian Family Histories
Beauty Salons
Humidity
Pickup Truck Mischief
William Eggleston
Tav Falco's Panther Burns
Coral Rock
Creeks
Tadpoles

Could there *be* any other topic?
Though I'd like to read your take on Faulknerian family histories. And creeks.

I give pause when the sweep of the searchlight from the police helicopter illuminates my apartment.
Hey, ita? You got that too? I've got fires AND police helicopters! Don't you love our neighborhoods?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cmon, I need some more southern subjects!
Get your brainstorm on.
