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!

Thanks!

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.

Art Crawl!!!

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.

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

I believe the 22nd amendment only says you can't be "elected" to the office twice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

have you ever wanted to get US citizenship?

Not really, no. Of course, there was a time where it was (or seemed it was) a requirement that I lose Jamaican citizenship, and that's not up for discussion.

I'd feel weird being a US citizen, because my ideas of citizenship are very broken, broken by dint of not living at "home" since I was 11.

She went to my doctor and he presribed 90 (90!!) vicodin. BUH? WHA?

Jaysus. I've had doctors who were generous, but not that much.

The amount of medicine tolerated is so incredibly variable that it's hard to tell. Apparently my starting dose of dilaudid IV would kill a horse. But I'm not getting acclimated to this morphine as quickly as that might imply. Then again I heard a rumour that I'm started right out at horse-killing dosage of that anyway.

I am going to come off it, because the side effects are too much, and doc's going to taper me off. I need to find out how bad withdrawal is, because I want off quick.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What's the word for an argument that has far too many variables or steps of logic to be credible? Tenuous doesn't sound right, but it's close.

Specious.

I would say "shitty," but that's kind of the umbrella term for a whole lot of arguments.
