Craig Mitchell’s “She Hates My Futon” is back online? When did this happen? It’s still not finished, but it sounds like he’s going to try to finish it? Is…is this real? Dare I get my hopes up one more time?
[Note to 99% of the people reading this: “She Hates My Futon” was a serial web novel that everyone online in 1998 enjoyed reading at the cubicles of their dotcom jobs. As recently as a...

How I Learned To Love You From So Far Away
I can’t remember if I ordered it already, so I went ahead and bought How I Learned To Love You From So Far Away again(?), just to be sure. I have no doubt it will be worth every electronic and therefore imaginary penny.
