But I'm turning 44 this coming Sunday; that's a hell of a caliber.

Attila Girl's Wish List

Joy's Wish List

If you really love me, however, you'll buy a Platinum/Gold blogad.

Joan C. has a splendid guide to cunnilingus as part of her Oral Sex for Dummies series.

I guess it must still be Blog Sweeps week, since Joan is pandering to her readership. Right there in the gutter, that one. (I, on the other hand, am an advocate for your right to know.)

K. was able to follow the drama right up to the end; she has a good roundup of memorial posts on the ever-complicated Rob Smith.

I just didn't happen to dig his blog, though I'm sure I would have liked him in person. I hadn't been to his site in some months when he died.

Someone should write a biography of him, including the best of his posts. You know: the Gut Rumbles Digest or some such. I'd read it.

I'm kicking the fiction-writing into high gear, partly due to the fact that I have a novel-writing class that starts on July 12th—and partly due to my very best critic (Attila the Hub) expressing an interest in seeing the manuscript at this point. (He hasn't looked at it in three years.)

"But it sucks," I tell him. "You don't want to read it."

"The sooner you finish it, the sooner you can get rid of it. It's a good thing, to hate your project."

Perhaps. It all depends on whether one wants to creep out from under the rock one lives under. [Insert exoskeletal reference here.]

1 I'm thankful that in LMA-speak, light blogging means more posts than the recent norm. Keep 'em coming!

3 Paraphrasing a famous saying, "It's better to have finished writing a novel that sucks than never to have finished a novel at all". Besides, look in bookstores. Lots of sucky things get published, thanks to lots of sucky agents and editors. Lots of sucky people out there are easily influenced. Go for it. Let me know when you're rich, and I'll send a bill for this bit of author psychology. Thank you. We appreciate your business.

I give you a site dedicated entirely to male shirtlessness. Apparently, it's a "lifestyle choice"! I love lifestyle choices.

1 Whoever designed that site has no clue about aesthetics. It looks like he slapped something together with the 30 day trial version of Frontpage and didn't bother to read the manual past page ten. He should visit Web Pages That Suck for some pointers.

5 What does that, like, do to your palm trees? Isn't it, you know, destructive and all that?
