Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Chocolate tootsie pops and coffee are not a good combination.
That seems counterintuitive.
Are you stirring the coffee with the tootsie pop so they get mixed up good?

No--I am sucking on a tootsie pop, but stopped to have a sip of coffee.
Maybe that's what I was doing wrong, and should try the stirring thing.

Is being a "real man" when looking for a female partner some sort of equivalent for "straight-acting" in the gay world?
I mean...wha? I'm trying to date GAY MEN HERE, not straight men who are on the downlow. Don't be "straight acting". Don't be anything "acting". Yes, yes, we get it - that's code for "just like a WCW wrestler who enjoys teh ghey sexx0rs" or something. WHATEVER. Your angsty self-denial ain't attractive, gents.
Weirdos. And that's something coming from me.

Since the term for a "gay-acting" straight guy is metrosexual, is a "straight-acting" gay guy a ruralsexual. Come to think about it, being ruralsexual would probably be an important survival skill in the rural areas around here.

You understand just how cranky the fact that those books are published makes me, right?
The way I feel about these novels being published and touted as some kind of triumph or advancement of women's literature is the same way I often feel about the New York Times Style section: it would send me on a rage bender if I thought about it too hard, so I just try to pretend that it doesn't exist.

Yeah...since I'm in Atlanta visiting (and having a BLAST; my host has a new boyfriend, and they're ADORABLE TOGETHER OMG! (and no, I'm not being SH-snarky...:) ) there's a whole new term I had to re-learn: "bubba". They look just like every other truck-drivin', Skoal-dippin', beer-drinkin', football-watchin' stereotype that inhabits this part of the world...except they like each other, instead of wimminfolk.
Oh, I'm having a GOOD TIME. Hee.

From the shit I didn't say file: I gave you the answer you asked for 10 minutes. 9 minutes ago, you even told me it was the answer you wanted. Why are you still in my office discussing it?

That is good to hear. And "bubba"? Huh.
ION - sooo, is being listed in Romantic Times as their non-fiction pick of the month a good thing? My agent seems happy, so I suspect it is.

Yes. Very large distribution, plus their paranormal/urban fantasy reviews section is among the largest, so that would be part of the audience who might pick you up, based on seeing you reviewed in RT.
