All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Like we needed more evidence that Jon is a rock star. That link did get me watching more of the Lothars videos though. Cool stuff.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, now the little falcon chicks are snapping toward the camera! Fuzzy!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Awesome article Jon!

Am boggled by the rude theater behaviour.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Getting the gig was pretty nifty (go youtube), and the article is icing.

Thanks, ita (and Liese & aurelia & Daisy Jane). And if it really airs (because I refuse to jinx myself) and I get residual checks, that'll be like the whipped cream and cherry on top of the icing.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

FalconCam reminded me to check the ElephantCam -- 2 elephants are playing in the swimming hole right now!

Our wings are not tired.

Woo! Fun article, Jon. Thanks for the linky.

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'm sending the Jon B. link to everyone I ever met.

I'm also trying to figure out what goes into a book release party. I want to have it at Vroman's, followed by some sort of cocktail/crudite type thing somewheres.

It's weird throwing a party for myself.

I need to put together souvenir stuff, maybe stickers/temp tattoos of the little vampire mouse. Maybe a few mousepads.

I was thinking of little goodie bags and ripping apart my old keyboard that I wrote the book on, and putting a key in each bag.

All of which seems very full of myself, but at the same time, is what I'd do for someone who hired me to put together a party.

Ideas?

Allyson, would plastic Halloween vampire teeth be too silly/cheesy?

Compassionately intolerant

I'm not sure how to link to the specific video, but the one with the baby Dachshunds on the front page of Cuteoverload is washing all my cares away.
