Yay, Dillo!
Although, honestly, I would think that once you’ve built your own boat any college would snap you upShe's not wrong.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Oh jeez, Joyce Carol Oates replied to my tweet!
(and erika will appreciate that it was about Homicide, The Wire and David Simon)

I'm a fucking amazing catch!--Fiona Gallagher, Shameless(US)
Wow, really?Do tell. That's weird, though. She gives the impression of turning on her TV for debates or something, but I guess that's not true.

(I should have said *only* for debates and such. Because I have watched that stuff, too, clearly. But lots of other things, too, only some of which I'm pleased to talk about. I know you feel me on that.)

She was praising Homicide saying it was the greatest police procedural of all time.
I said, "I presume you haven't seen The Wire, also by David Simon, but better."
To which she got kinda sniffy and said, "Of course I've seen the Wire!"

Really? I would never have guessed that in a billion years.(Kind of makes me want to chuckle in the way that it does when Jeopardy contestants end up saying stuff like "Talk to the hand," or something like that.) "The Wire" is better in some ways, but is also a massive investment that I'm glad I made then because I'm not sure I'd have it now.(Absolutely worth....well, maybe not *every* instant...I've thought about it a lot, after all. But, you know, mostly. )Though in some ways, I gotta admit, the journalism season didn't quite come off. I'd love for someone to really explore why reporters fake it. Who knew when I was pondering the correct usage of evacuate then that Simon and I would know each other, however slightly? Although even my vague concept of networking didn't really survive virtual proximity, even if I didn't know that trying it on the wrong day might lead to me clutching something vital and slinking away in shame. Which might be the real reason he gets mistaken for David Chase and asked about that finale instead of his. Anyway...

Really? I would never have guessed that in a billion years.
She has a well earned reputation as a rather gothy literary writer, but almost half of her books (and some of her best esteemed) are gritty portraits of cities and working class lives.
