One plus, one minus


I got a nice positive nudge on the submitting-poetry front--not an acceptance yet, so I won't say what it was due to superstition.

I forgot to mention in the bullet points of bad from yesterday that I had one spare light bulb, and two bulbs burned out the same day.

Comments:
Speaking of things we forgot to mention, my cousin owns a furniture store in Utah: Good Timber. $2500 sounds like a modest sum compared to what he charges for bedroom sets and the like, seeing he makes everything by hand.

A couple of Simpson's quotes:

(Homer in a flashback)
"So I'm failing English. I'm never going to go to England."

(Ralph)
"Me fail English? That's unpossible."

"And when the doctor said I didn't have worms anymore, that was the happiest day of my life."

(Bart to Lisa when they start watching 'educational cartoons' after Marge has real cartoons cancelled)

Bart: "What's this?"

Lisa: "Some campy throwback that's supposed to make Generation X'ers feel nostalgic."

Bart: "We need another Vietnam to thin out their ranks a little."
 
Good luck on your publishing! Thanks, also, for the Pebble Lake Review props. As for your dreams. . .the raccoon on the bed is pretty freaky. And the light bulbs? Where did I hear it that when light bulbs burst or go out quickly, that ghosts were about? Well, it's almost Halloween. . .
;-)
 
Justin: oh, your COUSIN has a furniture store in Utah? Veeeerrrry interesting. ;-)

Amanda: thanks, you're welcome, and I'd prefer it meant goats instead of ghosts.
