oh wow. i have a few confesssions:
ive no idea who richard cohen is. do you know mr kotter? he also looks
like my dad.
im getting the sense that you were bragging about having sex with two
girls in high school.
and i can't say i'm not impressed.
my book has a lot of pictures in it. far more than yours. it's based
on my blog mymomthestyleicon.com
im a fulltime freelancer until july when i start a new writing job.
i'm also writing scripts and tv show treatments.
i think we should get a drink as opposed to coffee. i hope you watch
tv because i know more about that than politics and im easily shamed.

Maybe your dad can give me a good cover blurb for the next book; I seem to
recall saying something negative about torture in the chapter on Richard
Cohen, so can't count on Dershowitz to promote this one. Ask your dad if he
can forge a signature and appear in a publicity shot.
Yeah, fuck talking on OK Cupid. It's too pastel.
I'm in kind of a good mood because the scumbag Christian principal of the
high school that I attended for two years before getting suspended twice and
then nearly expelled and then giving up and moving to Africa has found
himself in a scandal today after having expelled a girl who had a sexual
relationship with a teacher and then totally getting called on it by the
press. My own near-expulsion was due to a sex scandal as well due to my
having had sexual relations with two girls on a school trip (they couldn't
prove it, though, thus only the suspension), so this is particularly amusing
to me. Also, the principal is an Episcopal priest who's divorced and married
to some very young woman and who drives a BMW and is at any rate one of
those people too cliche to depict in fiction. It's already made the Dallas
Morning News and seems to have gotten some national play. This saves me the
trouble of vandalizing the school, which I always forget to do when I go
back to Dallas for Christmas.
Anyway, I'm staying with some friends off the Morgan stop on the L for a
week and then another friend in Harlem for a week after that before moving
into my new apartment back here in Bushwick off that same stop. Let me know
if you'd like to meet up for coffee or liquor at your convenience. In the
meantime, are you a full-time freelancer? What's your book on?
