Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

And Hugh Dillon.

Yum. Canadian actors almost universally have really good genes.

Cass made me giggle. For some books, it's an achievement to just say you made it to the end. The bitter, painful, horribly written end.

Oh, great area, Jen!

But I will keep telling her to zip it and focus on getting well herself.

And that's what she's counting on. The back and forth is a slice of normal.

(I apologize. Antagonize wasn't the right word, but the correct phrasing wasn't coming to me. I meant it more in the vein of poking at a long-standing discussion that is older than dirt, but has passed into the realm of conveying lots of affection between the both of you.)

Hey Amy, do have your firstnamelastname.com as your website? I thought so, but it seems to have been taken over by ads for Adipex.

I was looking because I wanted to rec Cold Kiss to my boss for his daughter. She loves the Twilight books (ptui! let us never speak of it again), but otherwise isn't a big reader. I thought that Cold Kiss would be a good choice for her. (side note, if I bought it through amazon and sent it to you, would you autograph it and send it back? I'd pay shipping, of course)

Because books.

I lost that domain, Vortex. Just carelessness on my part. And yes, I'd absolutely sign for her!

My blog is amygarveywrites.blogspot.com and it's pretty much my website now.

I fear that talking too much about Flashpoint will reveal my drooling fangirlishness and my crush on Spike.

Oops.

Yay, Perkins house! I wish I was there to help plan your non-lawn.

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

What's the solution for signing in the Kindle/Nook world? I think I've seen book designed e-reader sleeves that the author can sign, but what are you going to do with them afterwards? It kind of negates the space-saving angle.

Because books.

ita, girls with e-readers in black came to the signings with silver Sharpies, and had authors sign them that way.

Actually, that could be kind of cool, if you had a bunch of author signatures on your reader.

I'm kind of split on that, whether I'd want them all together, or not. I mean, the books aren't tied to the reader, and now the signatures are? Dunno.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I, ideally, keep my books organized. The really important ones have their own shelf. So maybe those are the signatures I'd want but it's a strange mix. And, I'll be honest, I got Nikki Sixx to sign a book but I wouldn't want him to sign a reader that I had for always. I keep nineteen-year-old me and current me apart for a reason. Memory lane is just fun to visit.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Perkins! You bought a HOUSE! (And while doing all this crazy scavenger stuff!) WOWZA!

Kathy, that cut looks cute on you! Yay!

I don't want my reader signed. if I love a book and author, I will buy the damned print book. (Need to send HC version os CK to Amy AFTER Xmas. Maybe in March I'll be up for it.)

I have this visual of ita ! dressed as a cat, eating kale, sending it to her mom, and C. I don't know why, but I do, and it's freakin' hysterical.

Hey, I learned how to edit a video a little bit tonight! I have the basic skills of a 12 year old! WOO!

Cash, that is AWFUL. I am very impressed with your parenting and her response, and the school's response so far. And so sorry you are dealing with this. UGH.

Anyone I forgot in this mini-meara, I am sorry. My brain is fried.
