Oh! The hub is now a drooling Krav fanboy, thanks to the big dog's new book (edit: this one: [link] ). Also, the dedication made me tear up a little, even at two degrees.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

we were just commenting on the "unfairness" of life that means guys like Victor or a friend Johann pretty much won't get a role unless it's written pretty.
...ita, looking at IMDB, your friend johann IS very very pretty...but it looks like his next few projects are porn??

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a really good book (which I don't yet own--I'm bad). Well laid out and everything. They put much more in than we were expecting, all the way up to brown belt.
So, basically, all the stuff in there is the stuff I've passed tests on, and the stuff I teach. Which feels kinda weird. It's kind of a big book.
here I was thinking they were mine!
It's a zeitgeisty thing. Neither of us could have done it on our own.

If you're looking at Strictly Sexual it's not porn, althoigh it does deal with sex quite candidly. As for Pornstar, well, I got nothing. I hadn't realised he was in 1408. We totally meant to see that as a group, and it would have been a hell of a laugh to be surprised by him.

I thin I may be responsible for Shadow Patriots.
Which is funny, because it's one I haven't read yet. Originally gave it to my mom and it's cycled back into my collection.
It's not fair that I'm starting to get hungry at 10 am. I mean, yes, I got up early. But I also ate a ton of good food this weekend. Sheesh.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And now I've gone and wikifreaked myself out.
Sloth the size of a bull elephant. Armadillo the size of a VW Bug.
Very nearly as frightening as lake whales.

It's 9:30 am and I'm on my third conference call of the day. What is wrong with this picture?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

That I am in Michigan, not there distracting you.

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
Ugh, going in to work this morning is gonna blow.
Did I mention that I threw up on Saturday? Like, until there was nothing left in my stomach but intenstines?
And two people had to come up and clean up?
And the embarassment?
Yeah, I tipped the fuck out of them.
But now my whole body aches.
But hey, I scored a Shaun of the Dead t-shirt.
I did not see Colin.

Oh, dear. Sick because of nerves? Let's hope that goes away right quick as you do more signings and readings and things.
OK, so my friend sends me this article about how emoticons are becoming de rigueur in some parts of the business world these days, and can you believe it, blah, blah, blah. But the thing that stands out to me about the article is this:
~(_8^(I)
A Homer Simpson emoticon! (It looks better in the e-mail, more smooshed). Anyway, I'm sure it's, like, fifteen years old, but I'd never seen it before, and what with just having seen the Simpsons movie, it made me laugh.
Also... really? Emoticons in business correspondence? I'm taking a poll: Who here either uses or receives serious business e-mail that seriously uses emoticons? I'm fascinated by this.
