Sorry about the car, ita. I hope you find a good replacement.
Happy Birthday Sail.
So I got my haircut after work. I like my hairdresser a lot. She's smart, funny and creative and we have similar tastes. I trust her judgment, so I'm always open to her suggestions, and she listens to mine. But now I have bangs, and I don't know if I really like them.
JZ, could you remind me of the press you and she are working with? The publishing concern Deena started is failing due to her own ill health, and I'm looking for possible outlets for writing.
Connie, I didn't realize Deena was so ill. I haven't seen her around here in a while -- do you know how she's doing lately?
Kate, no, no one has heard from her in a while. I'm rather worried. She had surgery recently, but the people handing the press' business currently haven't had any news to share themselves. Drollerie is collapsing kind of unhappily.
Ouch, I'm sorry about Drollerie but much more worried about Deena's health. All my vibes to her. And insent to your profile addy.
And thanks, Tep and Scrappy.
I was so utterly pee-my-pants terrified to post that! I should have known to have more trust in the ability of Buffistas to be reflective and gracious and not tell me to fuck off, Jack. I do so dearly love this place and these people.
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Sail!
I'm sorry about your car, ita.
Got the email, JZ, thanks.
I haven't wanted to try and call Deena, because if there are problems I don't want to make them have to cope with intrusions, but there have been no replies to emails, either.
What I find upsetting is the authors who have worked with Drollerie but who don't know Deena and who are now badmouthing her for sloppy business practice etc. I remind myself that all they know is the business, and they're being rightfully protective of their interests, but I want to get on the group email and say vicious things. I've resisted, so far.
I should have known to have more trust in the ability of Buffistas to be reflective and gracious and not tell me to fuck off, Jack.
Are you kidding? Speaking as the person (or one of the people, if Scrappy is willing to share, although I really feel like I'm the one who kicked it off) who started it, *I* deserved some fierce invective, and instead you were gracious and lovely, as always. Better than I deserve.
I do so dearly love this place and these people.
As do I. So much.
But now I have bangs, and I don't know if I really like them.
I think we'll need to see pictures. I know I will.
