Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Because books.

That's the deal I'm looking for, too, Jessica.

Speaking of Jessica (hi, Jessica!), there's a chance I may be in the city on Tuesday, June 5, for BEA. The signing is tentatively scheduled for 2-3, so maybe lunch first, especially if you're on the west side that day?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes! I'm always on the West side, it's just a question of whether that means 6th ave of 11th. (11th is closer to BEA, but I can arrange to be in either place.) Email me!

Will do. I haven't even heard back from the publicist yet about details, so it's still iffy, but once I do, I'll email.

Wow, I just realized what thread we're in. Oops.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You guys just have to film it, and then it will be reality tv and on topic.

You'll shave my head for free, but will you also give me a trip around the world with a million dollars at the end?

I was thinking about this, and I think I'd rather have the million dollars first, and then maybe I can make the trip around the world a little more leisurely. I mean, our own meara made a trip around the world and I don't think she had to unroll haystacks or anything.

I already did the shaved head thing. It was pretty awesome, for the record, and I'd do it again.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Note that even if your hair extensions cost $500, a cool million will offset that cost right quick.

(do extensions actually cost that much??!)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can see not doing it, but it's all a bad sign -- I figure the train of thought is, "What if I do this and we still don't win?"

I mean, I'd do it, but I have also been jealous of Orthodox women and their wigs, so to try that out just for fun seems like something of a bonus.

Me and Tom last night:

"A million dollars will pay for many extensions!" "Explain, please." "You can exchange a million dollars for goods and services such as nasty hair extensions!"

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I can believe that hair extensions cost $500. Years ago, just braiding my hair with the good fake hair would cost $200. That was around 1999 and not an urban area.
