Jennifer Crusie's Blog: Argh Ink

So Mollie, who is a genius, emailed me and said, “Are you on Pinterest?” And I was because Lani and inkgrrl had harassed me until I joined. I was pretty much just sticking stuff up there without a plan, but Mollie said, “You should put up a board for Liz.”

Now that was interesting: read more >>

I’ve had it with Anthony Bourdain. Yes, he’s funny and he’s a terrific writer, but he’s also an ill-informed hypocritical jerk. My least favorite comment from him was on Twitter:

“Thinking of getting into the leg-breaking business, so I can profitably sell crutches later.”

Yes, Paula Deen clearly deliberately developed diabetes so she could sell drugs. Oh, wait, you didn’t know she had diabetes and was fronting for a drug company? Okay, let’s start over. read more >>

Susan Elizabeth Phillips just cleaned out her office and sent me a picture of it to show that she is once again superior to me in every way. I love her, but I fail to understand why she thinks a clean office is a good thing. She’s never going to find a rough draft on there that she suddenly knows how to fix because she lost it at exactly the right time. She’s never going to have everything she wants right under her fingertips (and elbows and keyboards) because she’s put it all away. She’s never going to have the delight of finding a half-eaten Snickers bar just when she needs it most. Really, is there any point in working in a place like this?

I think not.

Cross-Post Note: One of the many benefits of ReFab is that I don’t do personal whines here on Argh any more. OTOH, you are my people, and as Lani said when I waited to give her some information about what was happening in my life, “YOU TELL PEOPLE THESE THINGS.” So there’s a whine over on ReFab, which is also where I’ll continue to talk about stuff like health and houses and shampoo so as to keep Argh safe for posts about couches and obscene inns and–what was that other thing? Right–books. You can go anywhere you want in the comments, but I’m restricting my post whining to ReFab. Feel free to ignore the Very Bad Weekend post. It’s not very interesting.

Coming tomorrow on Argh: Susan Elizabeth Phillips gloats about her clean office once again. Other people send me pictures of their grandchildren, but not Susan . . .
