Lemony Snicket #13 ("THE END") came out yesterday, and I read it yesterday. I love it. It is beautiful. It has a lot in common with "The Dark Tower" and "His Dark Materials" as well as allusions to many classical works of fiction, including THE BIBLE. I've been talking about "mouthfeel" recently (for example, Mint Mentos have the best mouthfeel of any candy, they have a great crunch followed

Coming back from Boston just now I got pulled over and got a speeding ticket. The annoying thing was that I was definitely, honestly, assuredly, not going as fast as he said I was. He wrote me up for 83 MPH (in a 65), but I was on cruise control somewhere between 70 & 75 -- there is no way I was going that fast just then. So annoying -- I am thinking of contesting it but, really, what's the

My netflix queue is ridiculous: what are all these horrible movies doing in it? I know I put them there, but when did I think I would actually want to watch "Logan's Run", to name but one, of 201. Sometimes I think I should start over from scratch. But what would I add in? Ah, the ennui, it's killin' me.

If it's lasted, it's probably good.You seek stability - both in your career and your romantic relationship.In return, you're very loyal and predictable. Which is usually a good thing.Without a partner, you feel lost. Being with someone is very important to you.Your strength: Your dependabilityYour weakness: You hate being aloneYour power

Last week I was in Austin for a series of meetings (sorry Lauren S, it was too hectic to call you!). We had some delicious BBQ (see below post for horrible picture) and some deliciously productive meetings (suckup). Friday morning, we left for the Austin airport -- our flight had been delayed an hour to help deal with the weather in Boston, which was horrendous, so we hung around the Austin

He's the author of this book which I believe I already mentioned (one of the few books that has made me laugh out loud basically the whole way through). He also appears on The Daily Show, where nobody knows quite what to make of him. If I were ever forced to become an on-screen talent, I'm afraid/glad it would turn out like him.
