so I need to figure out where to have a book release event. For some reason, I am mentally unable to figure out what to do.
secretly hoping you'll do one near new years in SF... I have a bat-loving urchin who... um, loves bats. and hello kitty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My friends on Facebook are posting about a tornado in Brooklyn? WTFF?!
I meant to say, my Facebook was blowing up with this as well. Damn hipster tornados.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Hodgman was funny about the tornado on twitter:
I know other cities have "tornados". But you really haven't had one til you've had an AUTHENTIC Brooklyn tornado.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A tornado tore through metro Detroit when I lived there. It was very freaky.

That's especially funny because I'm hearing it in Hodgman's voice.

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
Kick me for self-pity. It's so unbecoming.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I had a tornado pass over my apartment in Philly. Uprooted a tree outside the kitchen on one side, and the bedroom on the other.
Then it destroyed a garden in Narberth that was about to be featured on one of those makeover shows.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Allyson, you kick yourself quite enough. I hope you find a venue you like.
It's way too early for Derby Girl drama. Seriously. At least it's not one of the founders. They all have their shit straight.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. Now I want my own authentic Brooklyn tornado. Only I can`t have one because I`m not in Brooklyn. Woe. And also because we don`t really have tornadoes. Funny story: Navajo cultural tidbit: a tornado comes because the women aren`t taking care of their hair properly. We don`t really have tornadoes, but we also don`t really see women not taking care of their hair. So maybe it`s true!
Swim FAIL. Instead I had a massive nosebleed, the first I`ve had in months, as it`s been such a wet monsoon. But alas, monsoon is over. And maybe it`s stress related or something? Anyway, instead of a swim I spent some quality time at the tadpole pond (one fully metamorphosed froggie is working out how to get out of the pond.) and am now having a nice lie down. Back to work shortly.

Someone should really tell that to the ladies of Park Slope.
