I bunged my right eyebrow into a door frame last night just before bed. I had to go to sleep clutching a sock with ice in the toe. Now it's all swelled up, and it hurts when I laugh. The end to a perfect week, one might say.

I read somewhere that it's easier to get nonfiction published than fiction. And if Pamie and this book can get published, so can I, right? I just need an idea. Actually I would love to just write a proposal and get actual cash for it. I doubt that's likely as I'm a completely untried article though. Well, it would be cool, though, because then I could take pictures of cute boys and claim that it's research.

hahaha, Scalzi rules. He wrote this thing about Bush being incompetent, and then some people were like "OMG YOU SAID HE WAS A NICE MAN TAKE IT BACK" but he's all, uh, no.
" [They think] a nice guy wouldn't invade Iraq or deprive children of school lunch money or take a weed-whacker to the Constitution and so on. The problem with that formulation is that it's totally wrong; nice people do these sorts of things all the time. On the extreme end of it, you have Arendt's banality of evil or Milgram's zappers: Otherwise normal, nice people doing horrific things to other people because they either don't see or choose to ignore the far-reaching consequences -- or they don't see the consequences as being wrong."
