Take a deep breath. Swall ow all the coffee or whatever. Try not to have anything in your5 mouth, or for that matter, in your stomach. Now go look at the new Nissan Manuro Convertible.

I got stuck next to one in traffic tonight for an HOUR.

I haven’t anything left to throw up.

oy. Proof that Bloody Stupid Johnson is alive and well.

read all the Cormack McCarthy books and went right back to reading Discworld again, front to back. The second time through you notice things you didn’t the first time, and it makes it all that much better.

Odd to think of McCarthy cleansing the palate, but it was a serious change of pace. His dialog makes you work pretty hard at it, but it’s impressively done.

Also read Gaiman’s “Neverwhere”. Only Gaiman could take something as old and stilted as the “man loses everything and has to fight his way back to normalcy” genre and make it interesting enough that I stayed up all night reading it.
