Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

not your mom's socks.

Also, if your father happens to answer with a gun he got for xmas and tells them very politely no thanks and please don't knock again, they never will? (The gun was happenstance - he didn't take it to the door on purpose. There's always a gun for xmas, right hippocampus?)

You summoned me?

YES SIGH. Also your dad omg.

Jilli this story delights me.

I finished book and sent it places (not Septemberish book, another book). Consuela helped at the 11th hour, you all poured various support in at all the right times, and Sparky is making me acquire some sunshine next week. I may sleep for a month.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

New books, sunshine, and sleep all sound wonderful.

I am still at work. Probably another 90 minutes.

It looks like TPTB may shoehorn another show into our season (to replace the cancelled one) which will cut into a week I had planned to take vacation. My lack of planning is turning out for the best, I guess, since I haven't spent money on travel plans yet.

Congratulations, hippocampus!

aurelia, I'm sorry about the vacation.

Huh. Hello, monopolies.

Remember when Amazon was just that cool website where you could find that book you were looking for?

It's not exactly monopoly, is it? There must be a word for that though.

Totally unrelated: there's a buyer for one of our customers named Christopher Eccleston and every time I see an email from him I have to double take.

I am constantly disconcerted now that the House of Representatives has members named both Steven King AND Al Green.

It's lucky it's not my account, WindSparrow, easier to play it cool.
