I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

Happy Birthday Tom!

I am peeved that Walmart.com's music download catalog is Windows-only, and thus I'm unable to even check whether or not they have Traveling Wilburys songs for sale, nevermind actually buying and downloading them.

Punishingly Intricate

I think what I will do is tell a very popular former coworker who is opening a new bookshop up the road in about a month about it.

??!! Where?

Up in Old Reisterstown. "Up the road" being very relative.

ah! I thought you meant up the road from your work and was going to have to get on the neighborhood new business gossip hotline pronto.

That's cool though!

When you're racing - it's life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting.

Popping back in after 4 month disappearance to say "Hi" to those who remember me (I've been lurking for a couple weeks trying to catch up). WOW! I think I missed nearly 3 whole Natter threads. And, Happy Birthday to Tom.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

People! (Not y'all) If I tell you everyone is booked, there is no way I can "just squeeze you in." I do not have anyone available. I cannot just conjure up another person to serve you. If I could, I'd have a stable of cabana boys by now.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Happy Birthday Tom!

And yay for Allyson! table displays are a good thing!

A group I belong to - for women associated with books in some way - had a meeting a while ago and while waiting for it to begin we were talking and the subject of web sites came up. I proudly announced that I knew of someone whose web site had developed into a book. Of course, they wanted to know what it was about and I said "internet fandoms". (long silence and puzzled faces) They were wondering how many fans of the internet there could be ... so I had to explain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, were you saying at some point that you'd been to Campbell Apartment? Trying to find a bar in the area.

I have been there. It's overpriced, but nice enough. Pershing Square across the street is less overpriced, but often full of tools. Not that Campbell Apartment isn't! There's also a Campbell Porch or some shit, outside the Apartment, with worse lighting and seats, and I don't know about the prices.
