The whole-body adrenaline rush when I realized where the band name 'They Might Be Giants' came from was absurd.

A cat wearing a suit jacket sits at a table with a newspaper and a cup of tea, gazing contemplatively off into the distance. Text reads: I should listen to more They Might Be Giants.

There is wood paneling wallpaper on this fake room which has a mock 80s den in it. There’s a vcr set up in here. I am in the twilight zone.

I was helping my kid with his homework by typing up something he'd written by hand. After he'd been working with it a minute, he paused, and turned to me with concern and amazement in his eyes. "Mom.... did you put two spaces after every period?!?" The incredulity. "I'm old!" I shouted at him.

@theonion.com this feels weird to say, but thank you, 25 years later, for the post-9/11 issue of the paper. It made me feel seen.

Would you recommend the print version (for modern values of print) or the audiobook?

ya know, sometimes I ask myself 'is it overdoing it to call every hotel to double-check the reservations that other people make for my clients?' and then sometimes like today I find out that the reservation was made for Sept. 5 instead of Oct. 5 and I feel an aggrieved sense of satisfaction.

I had to cut myself off but I imagine that professionally commenting on the news precludes that.

@scalzi.com Amazon just sent me a free book! Apparently Sneak Peek for Monsters of Ohio will be auto-delivered wirelessly to Kindle for Web. Did I get a free book? Or did I get a preview of a book that I will have to pay for later if I want to read the stunning conclusion? Either way nice promotion.

Nice nod to Tess Martin's work on the music video in this review: "it plunges into macro footage of oil, water, and reactive substances shifting into tiny unstable planets. The liquids bloom, break, swallow, and divide, turning chemistry into corruption with a laboratory wink."
