You don't like softening blows, do you? You haven't used this approach more than once.

What is it about kittens that everyone loves?! Including me. I'm partial to Sasquatch pics as well ... ;-j

"Soften the blow" - Good one.

I read that book. Um... It wasn't quite what I was expecting when I bought it (at Costco nonetheless.) I was expecting a blistering financial satire. And, well, it was about coke and girls. They did a special on him on TV and he's writing a sequel. (I'm avoiding *his* name to not bash him in public.)

Not such a great book. Kinda like that other book that just got made into a movie that's all about college hook-ups. I'm still scratching my head over how *it* could POSSIBLY be a movie.

There goes my five volume epic, right out the window.

Wait, what if it was coke AND acid? Then we've got kind of a gonzo journalism flavor to the wole thing, right?

2010-01-12T23:12:10.412-05:00

LOL! I thought I was in the wrong place too! Actually, I used to use that same picture for wallpaper and for a minute I thought I'd done something very weird with my computer.

My cats wish to compliment you on your impeccable taste in consolation prizes.

Sounds more like a blistering fact of life than a satire.

But the kittens make it better.

Kittens make me happy.
--need to steal picture for rejection days--then I can click from squirrel wearing camo to kittens, squirrel, kittens....

2010-01-12T14:24:18.429-05:00

Crud. Lucy Woodhull had to up the ante with McAvoy and now my concentration's blown just like Marsha Sigman's.

Hey, does everyone already know about the Daniel Craig popsicle?

snicker.

2010-01-12T14:16:29.866-05:00

Poor guy. He probably had to trade a lot of cigarettes or Boy Toy Time to get all the paper to write on.

I clicked through just for the kittens. But I'll take some McAvoy if you have some . . .

The way you label your posts is awesome. :)

2010-01-12T12:59:47.413-05:00

@CKHB: If my rejections came with a picture of Craig and James MvAcoy making out, I wouldn't even care about being published. My every query letter would include the phrases "guaranteed to be on Oprah's Book Club!!1!" and "this is a fiction novel everyone on Earth will want to read, twice".

2010-01-12T12:56:57.500-05:00

LOL, Scott. Get Daniel Craig attached to the project and you're golden.

2010-01-12T12:45:33.287-05:00

What about nattering on regards all the stockbrokers I did while servicing Coke machines back in the 90s? I'm not in jail now, but I did get a jaywalking ticket last year and that's what I call platform. I know: Pulitzer-winning brilliance!

2010-01-12T12:25:22.298-05:00

And yet someone will still not receive the message. Kittens do make everything better, though. Maybe a cute puppy next time to soften the blow. I'm extremely partial to Labs and Pitbull Terriers. :)

I had something witty to post then I read CKHB's comment about Daniel Craig....my concentration is blown. I can't think of another thing.

2010-01-12T11:36:58.632-05:00

For a minute I thought I'd accidentally clicked on Editorial Ass. Kittens? AND you didn't post one single word in ALL CAPS! Rough day, I take it. Hang in there.

Kittens make everything better.

2010-01-12T10:31:19.032-05:00

Wait! You mean people with money doing cocaine and acting irresponsibly isn't new and original? Thank God for those kittens or I might have cried.
