This Wednesday I'm going to see the author of that book, who is also as close to a hero as I have now that I'm too old to have heroes, read from his new novel.
it'll be released (though if you think people will actually start writing angry letters if i say it might not be then i'll pretend otherwise) it just is going to be very poorly promoted.
If a dog breaks a mirror is the consequent 7 years of bad luck measured in dog years? Seems unfair if it isn't. Break a mirror as a puppy and you're fucked for life.
On the one hand I want the greyhaired owners of the dog who did this to suddenly become housebound and be found half-eaten by the wretched beast weeks from now when the weather gets warm.
I'm so sorry for your dog. But your revenge fantasies make for one of the funniest journals I've read in a long time.
I'll have to ask my son what he intends to do about the young and deformed. He seems to be very interested in physical abnormalities; the other day he asked me at what height a person "stops being the tallest midget and becomes the shortest normal person."
Cat people have it easy. If you have a cat and like cats, you don't have to go find parks where you'll likely have to participate in or at least overhear idiotic conversations between other cat owners. Pity us, cat people, for we are the dog people.

... and thanks for the congrats. I'm excited and nervous and thrilled and terrified and all those things that go along with chucking your life to the wind.
Run-time was 89 minutes. David Cronenberg, you owe me about 82 minutes of my life back. Good job on the scenes with the vaginagun.
In other news, there've been questions so I should clarify: the jetsetting is, alas, merely work-related. Ye Olde Corporate Bookstore Chayne plans to send me all over the country to spread the supply chain gospel. I've been giving this... Read More
Ah, vindication. And from a literary professional no less. I've been absentmindedly trying to piece together that puzzle for the better part of a year. McCarthy was obvious, but for some reason, with Castaneda, I'd usually remember who he was, but draw a blank on the name. An itch scratched, finally.
Just landed from Moncton. Yesterday was Tuesday so it must have been Halifax.
East Coast, you're a lovely bunch of friendly, warm people, but if your food is any indication of your capacity to appreciate things sensual, you're a lot of lousy lays. I could get into the details, but I think this sums it up: lunch served at the hotel today was sandwiches and... Read More

However, that knowledge won't make my car payments.
