Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm gearing up for a bit of a fight with my publisher because she told my editor that my lead character in the book is "just so strong, we need to see more of her emotional vulnerability, otherwise readers won't connect to her."
Write a scene where she stabs someone in the head and then feels really really bad about it afterwards. That's vulnerable, right????
(I would do a winky emoticon here if I emoticon-ed. Which I don't.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I have had raspberry pie. It is good.
Was it just straight up raspberry? Was it regular crust?

Straight up raspberry. I think the fruit gets mushed first. I remember making a mixed berry jam that had a lot of raspberry in it and thinking gosh, it wound up tasting like raspeberry pie.
Straight up crust, too.

Heh heh. "He ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times. And would it kill him to pay a compliment?" (looks at body) Guess so. I've been reading this romantic comedy type book that overall I like, but they can't get over that the lead's teen daughter is (gasp) Goth. I know that's not quite what you meant, Barb. But it made me think of it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
flea sighting in beep me! Yay! You made it, and didn't even kill any children on the way!!
(But we still miss you.)

Amych! Are you around for a bit? Do you have any time to look over something for me? I need a sanity check.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There's a commercial on for a special plastic pot for cooking pasta in the microwave. They're actually talking about how difficult and inconvenient it is to cook pasta on the stove, because it uses boiling water, and if the heat is too high, it'll boil over, and if it's too low, the pasta will stick together. Also, there's a shot at the beginning of a woman collapsing under the weight of carrying pasta, a pot, a lid, a colander, and a few other things that I couldn't identify.
