i'm on the south carolina coast right now. i ate a shrimp sandwich with avocado on it. i drank a lot of bloody marys. i have nothing interesting to say, except that i'm still jobless and no one wants to give me a job, though i'm highly skilled at many things, like being mediocre at tennis, pretty good at watching movies, liking Nature (observing it and appreciating it more than the average person, but probably less than a spiritually profound individual), good with dogs, can walk dogs for money, and cats, which i've done and it's possible, and any type of yard work. my skill set is diverse. i can edit things online for a nominal fee.
okay, i don't know. i'm reading Moby Dick. i'll maybe make a post about that soon, but i don't know. happily: new issues of Dogzplot and Storyglossia with a couple of my things, one short, one long. i'm excited to be in both these places, with good editors and other good writers. i did an interview with Storyglossia and i'll post that soon.

you are definitely thinking too much. drinking can cure that. i am so happy your story is in dogzplot -- you helped make it a great issue. and your storyglossia story kicks ass.
those comments on your other post about online writing being somehow inferior made me sad. don't make me sad. i'm a girl. and most of my writing is online. and i like that my writing is accessible. yeah, there's some crap. there's also a lot of crap on paper.
you write good stuff. keep doing that, please. bloody marys are excellent. have one for me. spicy, please.
be good.

hey lauren, thanks for the nice words about Storyglossia story. i don't really think online writing is inferior, but i do think it allows for more shoddy stuff sometimes. plus, i've got a few things online, so i really don't want to say online's inferior. anyway though, i'd say the best online stuff is just as good as the best printed. also, like you say, there's plenty of bad stuff in print, but it's not always called "literature" or somesuch.
thanks for commenting on my blog! my first new commenter in many months.
i like your blog! since you refuse to leave a random comment for me on fnaut, the least you can do is read my tmi blog and comment every once in awhile. i'll do the same. quid pro quo. see? i'm talking all the fancy lawyer talk now ...
hope the job search is picking up. how 'bout that bloody mary already?!
you didn't tell me to be good.
be good.
