Aaaand Andrew Sullivan just published my letter on independent publishing.
paperdol, KICK ASS!! Do you have a link?
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Excellent letter, paperdol! (Tep, it's here.)
And, from a jaw-dropping link Sullivan provided in an earlier entry on the publishing industry: Jane Austen - not so publishable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Whoot!
In super-dork news, I was watching Ace of Cakes last night, and Mary Alice (my favorite!) was going to Asbury Park, NJ, and said, "Ooh, maybe we'll see Bruce Springsteen!" So I emailed her to tell her that when I went to Baltimore last weekend, I totally said, "Ooh, maybe we'll see Mary Alice!" And she TOTALLY WROTE BACK.

Speaking of cake, I am so craving a piece right now. I think because yahoo had a picture of a piece of delicious looking Red Velvet cake on their front page earlier. There's a store called Cupcake in my work neighborhood but, criminally, it is a clothing NOT a cupcake store. rip off.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm dying for cake. And I can't have any. Ima get ice cream on the way home.

I could get ice cream or gelato or fancy sorbet easily but cake? I don't know.

That's just cruel!
Though I love me cupcakes of all stripes.
I think if the cool spell holds (crossing fingers!) I'll make red velvet cake this weekend.

Our wings are not tired.
It's probably a good thing that I have low self-esteem, or else I'd be getting a big head.
I'd love to tag this, paperdol
Sob. I still don't have the book. I wanted to buy it in an actual bookstore rather than ordering as usual. But when I went to the big city of Utica a couple days ago the One Book Store in the entire city was already closed for the day. grumble. I may have to get it when I return to Florida.
