YAY ALLYSON!!! Verily, your book will rock!
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

I just got the editing overview letter from Editor Emily, and the line-edited version of the manuscript lands on my doorstep tomorrow. She thinks I did a good job, but wants me to expand some topics and watch out for repetition. Why am I freaking out about this? Why?
Because it's an editing letter and everyone freaks out about those.
However, that said, sweetie, it doesn't sound terribly long or involved and very much sounds positive. It'll be good.

I gather Christopher Buckley is William F.'s son, right? But for a long time I thought he was a loony British alcoholic, and academic who wished he was a member of the aristocracy. That part is an act, I gather? I seem to miss the point of him.

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
I think that's Christopher Hitchens, flea.

But there's so many highlights! The guy who sticks with me is the one who, when one of the protesters says that Palin charged rape victims for their rape kits, responds with "Let 'em die." I mean, it's amazing that the right has finally found a guy ready to stand up against the tyranny of of the real menace here: women who have been raped and yet continue to live. And then there's the guy who finally clears up the vitriol against ACORN: they're responsible for the collapse of the stock market
Some people need to chill out. Neither candidate is insanely radical.
I'm not real happy about ACORN either though. They need to seriously clean up their act with voter registration. (Hey ACORN, you're not helping the guy you endorsed) The stock market collapse though? Crazy stuff.

Ah, I see I have confused my sarcastic Christophers. Now memorizing Wikipedia entries to keep them apart.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Hitchens is the craxy sot.
I am now the proud owner of a life insurance policy. At a bit higher premium than I originally planned because of "my build" (read fat) and my "high cholesterol" and my "history of mild depression." The underwriters now as much about me now as the buffistas do.
Best I get the insurance now because I'm not getting any thinner, younger or giving up french fries.

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

Someone needs to translate that into Latin and engrave it on stuff.
