It really is perverse -- I'm spending so much money on stuff that's not enjoyable that I'm spending even more for fun and adventure!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am very tempted by this line of thought. There are some kind of reasonable flights (in relation to regular insanely priced flights to Europe from Canada) to Dublin in November. I am trying to convince myself to wait until spring.

Because books.
I'm studying up on the publisher's romance line for my interview. Whee!
Not going to Paris, though, which is a bummer.

The Macarthur Grants were announced. Karen Russell was announced as a recipient. huh? Also someone at Steppenwolf.
I just went through the whole list, and realized I was afraid I would see someone I know! What is wrong with me.

Karen Russell?! I'm reading Swamplandia and finding it a hard slog, mostly because she's so involved in the lyrical and the weird that she loses track of the story. Also, her people are not our earth people.
