but DEWEY!!! we just signed the kids books....it kind of makes me want to simultaneously gouge my eyes out and weep with cat-sappy-happiness ("cappiness").

i didn't know they made the daily coyote into a book! i was just telling ee about reading the blog awhile ago and wanting to quit my life, move to the middle of nowhere, and raise coyotes. f'real.

i am anti blog-to-book trend, btw. the only people who want to read those books are the people who already read the blogs, and those people have already read everything they have to offer! they never earn out their stupid advances and they are lame, lame, lame.

can you tell i am having a red, red, red day? boooo.
