Early this morning, before either of us had really grown eyes, Hiro quoted a line from Romeo and Juliet that had stuck in her mind during the night, describing a town "Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean." The phrase careened through my brain like a school bus full of howling children and slammed into the concept of an EP that I am ( Read more... )

 Once science and capitalism finds a way to properly popularize organ growing (what on earth is the hold-up guys?!), I have a great new product idea:

Tins of cat food with an actual throbbing heart somewhere inside every single container! Or a tiny breathing lung! The cats would love it, and their owners would have all sorts of exciting nightmares

David Hasselhoff appeared to me in a dream last night, wearing a snow-white afro wig, to reveal his special plan for this world. Actually, it was not really a personal appearance. It was a press conference. Hasselhoff was seated at a plywood table, facing me. And his special plan for this world was not exactly global.
