Got paid again.

It ought to go without saying, but: I am not I; thou art not he or she; they are not they. And here is not there, New Mexicans.

Brilliant, Bill-- I'll link it!

Voracious Reader said...

Nice job. Congratulations!

So when will we see your first book?

proclus said...

I've been reading a lot of stories lately: Nabokov's and, just now, yours. I liked yours better.

Hee-hee-hee
Another from Luis:

"Yeah bro, I'd be a kick-ass gay man. I'd be bad, ya' know. I mean, I wouldn't take no shit from nobody."

It went on like this for awhile. Thing is, he wasn't talking to anyone, just thinking out loud. . .

Thank you for the kind words-- I really don't deserve them. Specifics:

First book? That would be ambitious.

I adore Nabakov, who is on an entirely different plane than I.

Luis != that worthy, whom I honor. (Have you heard his "I'm Mike Tyson" speech?)

Dumas was a big teddy bear of a fellow. I can't find my favorite picture of him online, with his mistress at the end of his life, after they've attended a seance-ish affair. She is scandalously showing bare arms and legs, and he is smiling.

Odious said...

Ida Ferrer! (Just remembered said mistress's name.)

Odious said...

And then misspelled it.

Ferrier!

Haven't heard the Mike Tyson story. . .do I want to? Of course, I do, what am I saying?

Someone already said "Damn good." So I'll have to think of something else. In the mean time, Really Damn Good will have to do!
