That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
This is oddly like cooking a meal with a new recipe and watching people's expressions while they eat it.
I sincerely hope no one gets the runs tomorrow.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
DH finished - he said wow
actually what he said the first time was something along the lines of "that rocked like a rocking thing with a side of rocking sauce"
So I think this was a recipe for success , paperdol

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love the idea that there are a lot of these. Okay, maybe there are, but still...great quotes on the back of the book.
Okay, so it's patently obvious I'm trying not to read more of the inside, right? I just finished "The Misery Effect" and I think the rest will have to wait until tomorrow.

I have a good DH - He knows I am falling asleep, yet he is not trying to insist that I put the internets away

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
You know, I just realized a place to pimp the book for a mention is Boing-Boing, which is interested in all kinds of internet social-networking and geekery. So anybody who wants to take the time, if you drop a note to the editors saying something along the lines of "hey, this is great, it's right up your alley" that could get some free publicity....
I'm not really here, I have to run out to Readercon soon. Going right from Maine to the con is not so great in terms of physical exhaustion, et cet. -- I thought my back was going to fall off yesterday, it hurt so much. On the other hand, the great time spent with friends and/or attending great panels made up for a lot of it!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Bah -- Amazon won't let me review The Book because it's not released yet. I gave it five stars anyway.

What is even happening?
In Maine. Want book. Book in New Hampshire. Family want beach. Family bad. Book pretty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going to Maine next weekend! Of course, I have no idea exactly where, and I'll apparently be sharing a bed with my grandmother, but I'm still looking forward to it.
