Wow. Just wow.
Angel: Yeah, I never told anyone about this, but I-I liked your poems. Spike: You like Barry Manilow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Table placement at B&N or any of the chains is very very good and pretty much ensures better sales.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Allyson, you are made of awesome. That is great news!
I got 25 out of 30 on the familiar faces quiz. Let's see if I can remember who I missed: Keanu, Oprah, Rowan Atkinson, Blair, and somebody else.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Jumping in to say that sounds great Allyson!
Also, is anyone going to watch The Riches in a bit?
Also also GO FLORIDA!

My brother had to wait for me to stop laughing.

That's the first place I go... I'm lazy shopper, so I figure table books are already vetted, so if I'm just browsing, I will absolutely see all the table books. But if a book is in the stacks somewhere and I don't know that it will strike my interest, I'll probably never find it. So, table books means more people will see your book and be captivated by it. In short - awesome.
I am also a face recognition machine, people. Except for Tony Blair, so since no one got that one, I'm saying they've got a bad shot up there.
Famous People:
Out of 30 faces, you correctly identified 29.
You were familiar with 30 of the people in this test.
If we exclude the ones you were unfamiliar with, you got 97% correct.
Unfamiliar Faces:
Out of 20 target faces (ones you studied in the first part of this test), you correctly identified 18.
Out of 30 nontarget faces (ones that didn't study in the first part of this test), you correctly responded that you had not seen 29 of them.
Overall, you got 94% correct
The other, longer, unfamiliar faces test:
Out of 72 faces, you correctly identified 68.
In other words, you got 94% correct.
And yet another skill that I've no way to exploit for monetary gain. Oh, well.
And finally, words cannot express how much this [link] and this [link] slayed me. (Matilda and Matilda and Emmett for the unidentified-link shy among us.)
