do others feel the amount of humor on this blog has fallen. i'm aware of this. i'm not sure how to remedy it. i believe that the amount of humor to be falling everywhere in the world, probably due to swine flu. someone gave my friend an "h1n1 fist-bump" rather than shaking his head. i mean his hand. it would have been funnier if they would have shaken his head, rather than giving the fist bump. but the fist bump is what they did. the person actually said "h1n1 fist bump coming at you." my friend didn't know what "h1n1" was until well after the first bump. i told him it was swine flu. i told him it looked like he had swine flu, so others were probably just being cautious. why is it that artists and writers get more political as they get it older? i believe it's because something in their brains or hearts gets fuzzied. i don't think that's a bad thing, just a thing. just a thing juts a ting. uh. i interviewed for a job teaching comp and at the end of the interview, when it was sort of clear that i had the job, pending transcripts, my interviewer went to shake my hand. i had been nervous and so i stood up to shake, but first i wiped my hand on my jacket, quick-like, saw my interviewer see this, had an awkward shake, and wanted desperately to say that i had sweaty palms because i was nervous. my interviewer walked away, seeming to eye my hand i had wiped and shook with. then i wanted to explain that i didn't always have sweaty palms, i wasn't "weird" like that, but instead i just said in a fake business voice and loud "Thank You For the Opportunity."
do others think this blog needs to be more political? should i be saying things against america or anything. i don't know

your invisible on fictionaut thing ... that is what's for dinner. let's talk about it, chop it up yo, fucking knock that puppy out of the park. i like your blog. hey, i've got a ficitonaut workshop going where it's "private"/invite only ... unlike the current set up where on the home page it's all public and thus arguably posts there are published. did i invite you? you could publish excerpts of novel, etc.
yeah man, i got the invite and signed up immediately. thanks for it. then i started grading 80 papers and took all week doing that. i'm going to post something on there soonish. just need to figure what.
