Sometimes, you need to know your audience.
tibicina: Here's the web site of the lizard guy from last night: http://www.lizardwizardandfriends.com/
cadhla: LIZARD.
tibicina: I would totally recommend him for your next birthday party, except I'm not sure he goes out of L.A. Also, he might be slightly confused by doing a birthday party for someone in their late twenties. I'm not sure most of his patter would work for your friends, but maybe he adapts.
cadhla: LIZARD.
tibicina: He also has snakes and tortoises and turtles and frogs and a tarantula and a baby alligator and hissing cockroaches and millipedes.
cadhla: LIZARD.
tibicina: Lizards.
cadhla: Now you're speaking my language.
We proceeded to have a coherent conversation after this, one wherein I proved myself capable of using more than one word, but really, sometimes you've just got to acknowledge the fact that if you dangle lizards in front of me, I'm gonna be chanting 'lizard' for a little while. (If they're literal lizards, I'm actually likely to be cooing and telling them how beautiful their scales are, but, well, y'know.)
I need to do two book reviews, one for I Will Be Invincible and one for John Dies at the End. Why yes, I do assign myself homework. What else can you call items on my to-do list like 'process edits' or 'balance your checkbook'? The best way to share awesome books is to tell people they're awesome, and why.
Lilly and I have a rule when I'm sitting at my desk chair: if I have pants on, she can be in my lap. Otherwise, her possession of a great many claws means it's no lap for her. Well, I am sitting here in my nightshirt, and she keeps coming back, standing on her hind legs, and patting my knees with one paw, in case I've extruded pants through my skin. It's cute but very surreal.
Plans for today include a Farmer's Market and hitting the Other Change of Hobbit for this month's Locus. See y'all later.
