I think part of it is that she's stressed and has way over-scheduled her family.
But she has been almost totally incommunicado and I still haven't heard from her yet to either say, "You dork." or "Fuck off."
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Barb, if you can get yourself over to UW's law library without too much trouble, they have a copy of:
Trademark : legal care for your business & product name / by Stephen Elias & Richard Stim
Which has a chapter on:
if someone claims that you infringed a trademark
In the Reference area at KF3180.Z9 M28 2010.
Tell 'em I said, "Hi!" (UW is my [and Perkins'] library school alma mater)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I suppose it would be totally not helpful if I gave in to the urge to hunt down that other author, and write unfavorable reviews for her stuff on Amazon and B&N.... right? Only enrage her further rather than humbling her and making her fold in on herself?
License~ma for Joe.

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

Seriously, this could backfire.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Note to self: Don't use the phrase bad, no cookie in front of the 2 year old because he will then repeat the word cookie until he gets one.
Would the word "biscuit" have the same effect?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Oooh, maybe I'll make gluten-free biscuits today and have biscuits & gravy for dinner!
Welcome to my stream of consciousness.
Also, god DAMN my mouth hurts as the numbness is wearing off! I think I may take half a pill from my percocet stash, because the pain is just laughing at the ibuprofen.
In conclusion, hey, Friday.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, much as the idea of trashing her review-wise is tempting, it's a bad, bad idea. Especially since she hasn't had any recent releases, so it's not as if her books on the radar right now.
I just spoke with my mom's longtime attorney who, after he laughed hysterically, said, "I don't give a FUCK who she says she is, I'm gonna wipe the floor with her ass."
Which I took as a good sign.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Ugh. I've got a sore throat and feel all ick. Really don't want to teach this afternoon. But I already took a day off for Rosh Hashanah, so I can't really take another day off unless I'm in the hospital or something.

Still, it is a lot of fun to think about.

This is even more fun to think about.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

We like him.
I just got to work and yet? Ready for this day to be over. ::sigh::
