Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

In breaking, other news, that's not what a McDonalds burger looks like.
But I think that most people expect that, in a cooking magazine, a photo shown next to a recipe will be styled to look better, but will at least be a photo of something made from that recipe.

Um, I have never made a recipe and had it look just like the photo!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That seems like more of an issue than "not vegan". I'd be irked about that in an omnivore magazine.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Onerous tasks: Follow-up phone call re scheduling a reading for Allyson. Update my resume. Finish second pass-through of current ms for Plus One and return to other editors and author.
There's also taxes, but one piece of paperwork is still at home. Everything's done except for that; I just need to plug that one thing in and hit "send" at H&R Block. But since we owe money, I'm bloody well waiting until 11:59:59 PM tomorrow on that one.

I'm sure I've mentioned it here, but people know that fashion magazine covers are essentially contracted out and that whichever make-up company has that month's cover just matches their closest colors to the existing photo, right? At least, that's how it worked not that long ago.

Onerous tasks: Balance checkbook, make an appointment to donate blood, and whittle my inbox from 23 down to, let's say, 5. That would make me super happy.
Oh yeah, and work stuff: lots of proofreading.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
JZ, I think you can wait until Monday, if you want to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yesterday I was being nosy in the elevator and I noticed a cute guy was playing Words With Friends. "I play that *all* the time." I told him. He laughed. "I play with complete strangers." I assured him.
I may be a creepy elevator person.
But I got into the elevator later and he was there again, still playing and he flipped his phone around to show me and he laughed again, so not that bad.
In the cafe this morning there was a woman with a cutesy kiddy backpack and she looked like she was one bad piece of news away from being a mass murderer. Like, really creepy. I hope no one looks at my lunchbox and thinks "She's not right. She's never been right."
