I still want to get FLYUFLZ for my car.

Connie, you do know that Nicholas Brendon is on Criminal Minds, and revealed a rather nice tattoo on his shoulder in one ep? Not NCIS, but at least it's another CBS procedural.

You know what I hate? When someone says, "Didn't I already send you that?" And I'm .... pretty sure they didn't? But of course, not 100% sure, so I have act like I lost it. @@

I drove behind an EFULGNT for some time the other day. I can't help but wonder about the driver's interests.

Man, today is just a clusterfuck at work. People not knowing I wasn't here yesterday really didn't go down well. Like, CIO not well.

Meanwhile, HR needs me to prove that I have a degree. No, I don't have a diploma. Getting one will take days and cost money. Because they requested the background check wrong.

Eh, I suspect that the real ideological point to the donation is "supports gigantor corporate interests in Minnesota". It generally is.

This doesn't really help though, because it supports those interests against the interests of people in an income bracket likely to shop at Target.

Also, the dude they donated to supports groups that MURDER gay people overseas. So, yeah, no.

I didn't think they donated to the dude directly, but to a PAC that also supports that particular candidate. Splitting hairs, sure, but I want to make sure I have it right.

Yes. Target donated $150,000 (100 in cash, the rest "in-kind"), and Best Buy donated $100,000 to the same PAC.

Nora, is there any way you can arrange for your townhouse to be moved to the Chicago 'burbs? Because I want to live there!!! What a gorgeous place (I'm lusting after those hardwood floors).

Barb, I looked at the cover--yay, you!--and at least it doesn't follow in the mode of decapitated female or otherwise had the body chopped off on the cover.

Thanks, Connie! I love that cover like BURNING, I swear. And every time I walk into the bookstore, I'm prowling the YA shelves and trying to gauge how well it'll stand out amongst all the other covers and right now, it seems as if it's going to be really be an eye-catcher, which I'm really hoping will prompt booksellers to put it face-out at the very least, since I'm not counting on co-op money for table placement. (I'm not a lead title, so...)

Hopefully, too, the book contained within is actually, yanno, GOOD, and will get decent reviews.

I'm going to have a nervous breakdown before November, but hopefully, it'll be worth it.

Teppy, peace to Tim's Mom's memory. Strength to you, Tim and the rest of Tim's family.

Barb, forgot to reiterate that I adore that cover and can't wait for the book to come out.

I still want to get FLYUFLZ for my car.

Ahahaha awesome.
