Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's to hoping that this means her lungs will get better and better and she'll grow stronger and stronger.

Yes, this.

I had fried okra for the first time yesterday! Yay fried.

Thanks, everyone. I'm looking forward to some uneventful days now. Please.

Allyson, how much do I love that the woman who is reccing your book for PW is at Book People, my all time favorite bookstore not named Vromans? I love Book People enough that it almost convinced me that I could live in Austin.

Seriously, that one intersection in Austin with Book People, Waterloo Records, and Whole Foods? Megan heaven.

Boring days wished to you, Kat.

I have a cousin in Austin. She has an adorable house.

PBS is doing a story on Jonestown. I'm remembering being 17, horrified, and baffled again.

It boggles me to think of adult, contributing members of society who don't have the immediate, visceral reaction I do to those videos of stillness and that vat of purple liquid.

Sorry to be a downer.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yay, Grace! Now go be uneventful for a while.
