Ruin a song by changing the title completely:

‘Fuck You You Fucking Asshole’ (Hey Jude)

I feel like if I get through today healthy, it means I didn’t pick up any bugs at AWP, which feels miraculous.

He’s Basically saying ‘please just let me do this’ in that message. Jesus.

Once again, my Twitter got hacked. I am working to regain control of the account, but the meantime, do not interact with that account or open any links. It’s an identity theft scam.

Some good fake male astronaut names: Oak Basingstoke, Shayne Clydesdale, Raleigh Cartwright, T.J. “Buck” McClanahan.

You have to look closely (mostly left of screen), but there was some kind of glittering magic in my workshed this afternoon.

I was only there for Saturday afternoon and really got my bearings in the Convention Center 🤦🏻

I saw a great post on here awhile ago that - paraphrasing - was something like, ‘I think of the band Franz Ferdinand as being pretty recent, and then I saw them now and they look like four Brian Dennehys’

That era of exotic cars was just so funky and cool. Today’s look like Transformers. I just painted a Lotus Europa. It was a blast.

I like a buck as much as the next person, but luckily it has never occurred to me that I could make any kind of real money from my books, so I don’t chase it or worry about it. I had people at AWP come up to me and tell me they liked my novel. That’s more than enough for me.

I just read his book last month. I assume you have too. Very good read. I knew Nixon was awkward, but the story of their first meeting had me in stitches. RIP

I saw one of those in person in Miami decades ago. Impossibly low for how long it is. Amazing.

I looked for you, didn’t see you 😔

Yeah, for thirst [looks around furtively]. That’s why I drink.

That story has never missed for me, from undergrads at an ‘elite’ university to community college adult learners to GED hopefuls. Nobody is ever bored by it.

This is the kind of signing that can turn a joke of a team into a merely disappointing team.

That room kinda looks like Rhoda’s attic apartment in the Mary Tyler Moore show. Which is to say, it’s cool.

She seems to be saying only literary criticism is allowed, not biography. Weird.

Missed you 😞 but glad you had a great time. It was awesome!
