I'm not sure why it surprised me, but he was African American. I generally attribute that sort of thing to skinheads for some reason.
Heh. Yeah, no, black people are incredibly not immune. It's...well, it's not common, but I've probably heard more black people talk like that than white--perhaps because the white people in question don't want to converse with me much.

msbelle, I'll check. I figured opened was tainted, but I'm good with giving it to whoever. Since throwing it away patently didn't work.
Called back guy who might want to date me that I don't want to date, although...it sounds like the classic nice guy brushoff, but he is nice. And I have migraines. Went straight to voicemail--I'd say that's good, but it took me forever to return the call, so I am the bad guy.
I have a diatribe about the thoughtlessly privileged welling in me. Understanding of course that I am just that to some people.

Allyson, I've been talking up your book to two of the instructors who work in TV.

They don't know about the subtitle, but I think it'll be okay.
