Hey, David, I just told my minion she should definitely buy your book, after she said in passing that her boyfriend is a huge Waits fan. I was like, "Do I have the book for you!"

ION, my boss is literally trying to kill me. I heard her assistant tell her what time the meeting was. Because they were yelling across half the office, so I yelled across the other half to confirm the time. Which was then passed along to my boss. And yet? NO fucking idea when the meeting was. Seriously, WTF.

Jesse, why all the yelling? Don't these people have phones? or email?

Oooh, nicely pimped. You can point out that it's cheap too.

Thankee, cowgirl. I'm going to have to go on record saying that nobody should be killing you.

Ha ha ha.

Wee! I just e-mailed my boss with a request to go home a few hours early due to the weather (we have white-out conditions right now, and since I didn't get in until 9:45, I would have to stay until almost 6:00 for the full 8-hour day). She said that I could do whatever I had to re: the weather, so I'm going to take off around 3:30. Maybe I can beat whatever traffic is on the road by then and get home sometime before 4:00, instead of the 80 minutes it took me last Thursday night during the last evening snowstorm.

I'm more thrilled. I haven't gotten any feedback on the book (except from people who read it in manuscript).

I gave a copy to a friend's husband a couple weeks ago, because he's a Waits fan. I know he was excited about reading it, so I will nag for feedback.

Oh, and he wrote a book about Asian Cinema which I told him I'd pimp. So now I have. Yay!

Cool! That's actually to my taste, since I've been reading Asian Cult Cinema and dragging myself off on public transportation in the rain to see rare Seijuin Suzuki movies, and was a regular at the Chinatown theaters before they closed.

Not that she would, or should, but is there any constitutional reason Bill couldn't be her running mate?

Could he be her "running mate" without becoming her vice-president?

The vice-president has to be somebody who could fill the office of president and he has already had two terms and more than that isn't allowed.

They're sending us home early, so I'm outta here!

Okay, It's barely into day one of giving up chocolate for Lent and all I can think about is chocolate.
