Coupland update...
It's funny. Some people glanced over "dearest
wish come true" without a complete
understanding of exactly what it means to me. Then again,
Laine called up immediately... "this is too much for
a simple email response... basically you're meeting Dylan
McDermott". I had L.A. Michael on the edge of his
seat for 24-hours, playing mystery phone tag... and when
I finally told him we were both screaming. The bottom
line (now that Bookstore Michael finally told me, while I
squealed and wept) is that dc is coming to Brookline on
some undetermined date in January and I'm going over
before the reading to hang out with him at the store. The
count down begins and like Laine predicted, the
anticipation is the best part.
inspire me...
Don't be surprised if I ask to publish your
brilliant snippets of dialogue, poetry, or prose... and
check out the new cameos section.

whirlwind...
Mouse over the dress above to check out Todd's latest
animated .gif. The things this guy can do when he puts
his mind to it are awe-inspiring.
set lists...
Last week I made an $88.10 pledge to T H E college radio
station, MIT's WMBR, and in return I get to spend an hour
guest DJing with Marianna on some future Tuesday morning.
Already I'm panicky about my set list... send me your ideas.
