Classic. I like that idea of getting one of those "recession-proof jobs" some day. Why in the name of John Marshall didn't I just go to law school like I planned? NO! SOMEBODY thought that being creative was "fun." Fat lot of "fun" I'm feeling now! Worrying is fun and gives me the joy of watching my hairline recede faster than sea ice in Argentina and making me scour my cabinets in the middle of the night with anything more than 15g of fat per serving. Laughing and crying are the same thing, right? Seriously, awesome stuff. Keep in touch! Taupe teeth.

What has happened that (most) people just cannot write anymore... or did they ever write well? I recently read a book that a friend passed along to me, and I was upset that such (bad) writing would be published. Egads, how does this happen? Do editors not do their job anymore? Do authors just focus on getting something "out there" rather than creating a quality piece that evokes a reaction? The economy is bad -- I can't find a job, yet there are those out there who do have a job (like writing or editing) that I could do so much better... Do I need to write a story about wizards and vampires (or whatever other subject would sell) just so that I can make a few coins to rub together? Thank you for "sprwling your life upon a pin," and writing from your life and your heart. Thank you for doing it well. I have to admit that I am kind of jealous. Your old friend, Julia Wendy,

Carson Kressley from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" called this "Shopping in Your Closet" the other night on a Nightline special about retailing in this terrible financial climate. You've nailed it. Great use (I think) of some hyperbole here? Maybe? Hi Wendy:
