that's what i thought too when i saw the title... please do tell us how it is.

Guess I won't know. It's the third book in a three-part "series". Book 2 and Book 3 are available in electronic editions. The first book, "All Over But the Shoutin'", which won a Pulitzer, is not. Which means I'll likely not read/purchase any of the three.

When, when will publishers learn?!

zelda_pinwheel · 05-28-2008, 03:46 PM

oh boy, i keep wondering the same thing.

zelda_pinwheel · 06-03-2008, 09:16 PM

i just came across an ad* for field notes and thought i would share with y'all as a potentially less intimidating yet still stylie alternative to moleskines, for those suffering from notebook anxiety.

more pictures (and these same ones, only bigger) here.

need i mention, i am obviously not affiliated in any way with field notes and don't even own one (because the shipping to here would cost more than the 3-pack of notebooks, and i really can't justify that), and am only doing them the courtesy of this plug because i like a notebook with a ruler printed inside the back cover (even if it's in imperial units).

*that's right, i frequent sites where the ads are for notebooks.

They do look nice, though as you suggest shipping overseas makes the local Moleskines cheaper. Yes, very nice.

Cheers,
Marc

I can provide no explanations for the above scribbling. It is just that, a scribbling produced by the application of pen to paper and concomitant mental processes.

In other words, I don't know what it's about any more than you do.

Just as long as, subconsciously, you're not planning on committing hari-kari, or seppuku soon, if you are then we might have to ask, "is there a shrink in the house"?...

No, but there is a pshrynk in the house.

I don't do robots. I could recommend my automechanic, he seems to do wonders with my chronically depressed Miata.

Aye, but you'd charge extra for the oil can...

Ok... since no one appreciates the sanctity of User Poetry, a thread NOT tagged "U.S.", I'll conflate the threads thusly.

Apologies for the scanner artifacts.

zelda_pinwheel · 06-04-2008, 12:55 PM

hey, you're really getting good.

Cattle egret?? That's a bloody heron! Okay, okay, I'll shut up now. The Sanctity of this U.S.-untagged (un-U.S.-tagged? not-tagged-U.S.?; (adj.)) thread is now returned to it's original pure state for your viewing pleasure. Nice drawing, PH.
