Barb, since she's spending so much time being... so very Tea Party about this ... I gather a new book from her will be forthcoming later rather than sooner? what a PITA.

She just released a new book in October, Sox. With a cover that, as Abby put it, "That dude looks like he has radioactive alien fungus--that sparkles--growing on his shoulder. What's that about?"

I also happened across a recent interview where she was asked what other things she's interested in writing and she said, and I quote, "I'd like to try my hand at some erotica and YA."

Okay, then.

"I'd like to try my hand at some erotica and YA."

the inadvertent pun aside...

she's Christine O'Donnell?

Sending the ~ma for Ray and loved ones.

Ugh, Jars. Been there. In fact just yesterday I was pulled over because my auto tag had expired - 16 months ago! How did I manage that? Fortunately only a $10 fine.

Barb, I keep shaking my head in disbelieve every time I see this situation mentioned. I can't even come up with a response. Crazy making.

Health wishes for those that needs them.

That happened to me last year. It's easy to forget this sort of thing now and again.

Barb, she is really bringing crazy to a whole new level.

I am hating everyone today (buffistas not included of course) no one can freakin return a phone call, find a reservation, answer an e-mail, or just generally do what they say they are going to do.

Crazy, barb. Good lord.

Jars, I've done that. Normally I remember soon enough, but one January my landlord did call asking if there was a problem? And I was like "omg, no, I just totally forgot!" luckily it was a private landlord, who was chill about it (and I'd always paid on time before).

Vortex - insent if you are able.

Yeah, ours is a similar situation, except I was much less truthful and pretended it was a bank error. Everyone hates banks, right?

You'll be cool, Jars, as long as you have the money, and didn't spend it on hookers and blow. My landlady just tacked on $25 if I was late. Which I was, a few times.And it sucked.

Barb, I hope you include some legalese in your reply that details EXACTLY how she cannot use her name or marketing in any YA market, as OBVIOUSLY this is your market, and it might confuse your sorry little readers headses, and impinge on your marketability and sales.

Ugh.

am i a crazy dirty hippie if i want to attempt vanquishing shampoo from my life? I stumbled upon a long hair board with all kinds of info on conditioner-only and water-only methods which sounds like heaven to my long hair that is always dry and brittle on the ends but luxuriously oily at the roots. Hrm, might need to invest in more hats for adjustment months.
