I was out running errands earlier & the walking gave me time to think & I got to thinking Bookselling Thoughts. What I started thinking about was graphic novel distribution, especially on the Adult side.

Maybe you don't want to read. That's fine cause nullification is easy: listen to all the evidence, and when you go in and it's time to vote on the verdict, you say "not guilty". Keep saying it no matter what.

This is especially true if a man is built like a threatened anteater. Miller has relatively narrow shoulders and wide hips, which means there's not much shape through the torso.

Some celebrities are genuinely good people & I'm always happy when Weird Al proves yet again that he's one of them.

WE DID IT! We've raised $100,000 for voting rights, and it hasn't even been a full day. Thank you all so much--now let's see what we can do over the next four days!

Oooh. Only $8k to go until the @romancingthevote.com auction hist $100k for its first day. Sunday is the big day, but it would be cool to see the auction close its first day with a big, round number. www.32auctions.com/romancingthe...

I was actually doing pretty okay today, distracting myself with the Romancing the Vote auction & the Catholic Schism when I opened up my email to find a "How likely are you to recommend Dove Lewis?" survey in my inbox & Jesus Fuck. Maybe wait at least a week?
