Excellent letter, paperdol! (Tep, it's here.)
And, from a jaw-dropping link Sullivan provided in an earlier entry on the publishing industry: Jane Austen - not so publishable.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Whoot!
In super-dork news, I was watching Ace of Cakes last night, and Mary Alice (my favorite!) was going to Asbury Park, NJ, and said, "Ooh, maybe we'll see Bruce Springsteen!" So I emailed her to tell her that when I went to Baltimore last weekend, I totally said, "Ooh, maybe we'll see Mary Alice!" And she TOTALLY WROTE BACK.

Speaking of cake, I am so craving a piece right now. I think because yahoo had a picture of a piece of delicious looking Red Velvet cake on their front page earlier. There's a store called Cupcake in my work neighborhood but, criminally, it is a clothing NOT a cupcake store. rip off.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm dying for cake. And I can't have any. Ima get ice cream on the way home.

I could get ice cream or gelato or fancy sorbet easily but cake? I don't know.

That's just cruel!
Though I love me cupcakes of all stripes.
I think if the cool spell holds (crossing fingers!) I'll make red velvet cake this weekend.

It's probably a good thing that I have low self-esteem, or else I'd be getting a big head.
I'd love to tag this, paperdol
Sob. I still don't have the book. I wanted to buy it in an actual bookstore rather than ordering as usual. But when I went to the big city of Utica a couple days ago the One Book Store in the entire city was already closed for the day. grumble. I may have to get it when I return to Florida.

I really, really loathe people who express helplessness in the face of clear instructions.
Dear Work,
I don't want to do you. Go away now.
