Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

A sexy cucumber dip that can and will kick you in the head.

Butterscotch Stallion? Is that what it sounds like?

It's Owen Wilson, apparently.

Now I want to marry a blonde guy just so I can call him this in bed.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

See now that's a personal ad that would pique my interest.

I used to be a blonde guy but now I'm snow white mummy dust.

Coding and Sleeping

Writing is an art, but it's also a craft and mastering both elements is difficult.

It has turned out to be a lot more mechanical than I thought, which is good for me. I don't have a poetic touch with words, but that doesn't seem crucial in a novel where too much poetry can get in the way. Sort of like really rich food, a poem is desert while a novel is your diet for a year.

Well, it helps to be able to evoke a scene or a moment but there are plenty of good writers who aren't high octane wordsmiths. And I don't think it's as much as matter as writing poetically as having a strong voice as a writer, which takes a while to develop, but is certainly within your range.

I mean, you're looser and have more of a voice in your Sang Sacre bits than you allow yourself in the novel.

Going gray/white doesn't mean mummy dust! I find white hair intriguing and attractive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have several intriguing and attractive hairs....
