pantryslut1) I read smut on Saturday night, at the Haiku earring party. I have mixed feelings about how it went. In retrospect, I should maybe have read some things less "difficult." Do I have anything that is less difficult? I don't know.
I loved Hanne Blank's story, though, the one that's going into the book that she and I are in.
2) It is a little odd that I ate as well in Madison in one short five-day stretch as I can at home in the Bay Area. L'Etoile in particular is becoming one of my favorite restaurants anywhere, due to their menu, philosophy, *and* their service. And, you know, the cheese. It is especially nice to go on Friday night and then to the farmer's market on Saturday morning and buy the same cheese you met and fell in love with less than 24 hours before.
Menu notes to follow when I've unpacked it. Right now, I will just say: bison carrpaccio. And doughnuts for dessert.
3) I have a small platonic crush on Sharyn November, and it is based entirely on this: she behaves exactly the way people imagine that I do.

I want a copy.
To give you as honest an answer as I can to your original question, without you knowing me all that well, is difficult. You take up space unapologetically. You're blunt but fair. You have a great narrow-eyed smirk.
