Scrolled down to an older post because I think I forgot to congratulate you on the sponsorship. Church puts me to shame, getting right to it the way he did. Congrats! It seems like a good match, and it’s well earned, and it also shows some good hustle on your part. Nice going.

Ha! Really, really funny. But reminded me strangely of a gag from Family Guy. You know, the actually platform of the story is like a means of delivery witty and otherwise unconnected punchlines. But overall very good story. The ending sucked, though

Are there going to be quests? I wanted to find that sphagnum character from the SSS forum & deliver an ass-kicking, but nooo, Tony set a classy tone and everyone was all high-minded about it. My sword & shield could get rusty.

I’m imagining the buddy pic now: me & Church on a mission, stuck in the driveway debating playlists…

Elke — Sun, 16 May 2010 19:47:47 +0000

It becomes clear to me that I need to check in here more often for the news. This explains why iTunes opened a new cover for the Mango unbeknownst to me. The old cover showed no new episodes. For all I knew, you’d taken up woodworking instead. It was days before I noticed the new one. Inside was of course “The Blower”, with the kind of tense court drama I am a sucker for. There were also earlier episodes I had missed due to late arrival, filling in more of the portrait including your full, pouty lips. Glad you got the feed worked out. Due credit attributed to Jeff Lane as well.

I don’t usually comment over here, but after the surprising piece this past week, so different from the previous few weeks, I popped by to say, you know, some women find body hair on a man a sign of animal masculinity. The effect only works if it’s your own hair, though.

You seem to have a thing of, for lack of better words, debunking magical thinking.

Not in general, but there are a vein of your stories that sort of set it up, and then tear it down.

In a flash format, it works wonderfully.
