Notes:
Neo-Citron as soporific either doesn't work at all or works too well. Boob-squashing properties of sports bra are painful (yes, obviously). This is the most fashionable article of clothing I have on these days. People who know me understand how sad that is. (People who know me understand that comment was aslo mitigated with a snort of laughter.)
Having missed the excellent David Cross & Jon Benjamin at Bumbershoot continues to bother me. Laughed until I cried yesterday at video of them dance-raping poor audience member while singing "Something to Talk About." Why is is this so funny? It is perfect, it's like performance art.

The trick to marathon writing, hon, is to actually not write the whole time. Go outside and make a snow angel. Ride the bus and watch people get drenched by the puddles it plows through. Chain smoke. I like that one. I've had LOTS going on. Not good stuff, but stuff nonetheless. Let's finally see each other when you're out from under your rock?
I HATE when soy milk curdles and wrecks the coffee. I switched to rice milk for this reason. The yU brand (complete with useless umlaut) has never done me wrong.
I'm liking this blog! But I have to say... I had an email exchange with the writer Sandra Scoppettone a couple of years ago, which thrilled me, since she wrote several of the formative books of my teens, including the picture book "Suzuki Beane" (the original, *not* the re-release, which is different). Anyway, she has a blog (http://sandrascoppettone.blogspot.com/), and I started reading it, but I found it often made me anxious! Sometimes a writer writing about writing is hard for other writers to read. Or maybe that's just me, being the "jinxy" kind. But I'm enjoying the punch-clock aspect of this, devoid of the content of the actual WRITING piece.
Also, it's good to hear from you! I still have your book. I guess I'm holding it hostage until your thesis is done. Or something.
