Yes, this book really is that good.
I really need to set aside some time to read this. Perhaps on my way to WISCON this month!

RE: guys, which muppet do you think most reflects my personal style?
me: you know, i’m not sure. but i will say that i’ve always been a fan of kermit’s. Very simple, great use of monochromatic schemes.
Joanna: true! he is a classic. i want to say janice but she dresses like a floozy.
me: that slut.
Joanna: maybe she’s just misunderstood.
me: ah, an e! true hollywood story just waiting to happen
Joanna: they need that. muppets revealed
me: considering the number of kermy/piggy breakups, it’s so overdue
Joanna: there HAD to be some drug use in there. gonzo, fozzie
me: of course. i hear he went nuts on coke in the 80s.
Joanna: which explains wearing a bolo tie
me: and then there was the foursome with the fraggle rockers
Joanna: all the fraggles were doin it with each other. all the time.
me: those trees were just cute fronts for S&M clubs
Joanna: big time
Finally combined my breakfast habits and made instant oatmeal with coffee. Not half bad.

I do not write memoirs. I do not write novels. I do not write short stories. I do not write plays. I do not write poems. I do not write mysteries. I do not write science fiction. I write fragments. I do not tell stories from things I’ve read or movies I’ve seen, I describe impressions, I make judgments. The modern man I sing.
