"Artists need to make money to eat and to continue to make art. Artists used to rely on middlemen to collect their money on their behalf, thereby rendering themselves innocent of cash-handling in the public eye. Artists will now be coming straight to you (yes YOU, you who want their music, their films, their books) for their paychecks. Please welcome them. Please help them. Please do not make them feel badly about asking you directly for money.” -Amanda Palmer

Cammy, Ashby, GUARD THE HOUSE! Mr. Kitty, GUARD THE CARPORT. We'll be back."

When Stacey and I go somewhere, leaving my 17-year old niece at home, I'll frequently say "Ok Petunia, you're in charge."  The fluffy white dog then burrows under the couch.  Elizabeth (the niece) rarely finds this amusing.

Being a bit of a toker myself I can never express enough awe at how spot-on Onstad's grass-fueled dialogue is: "Like he wonders if he cares about anything. But in a good way". Very, very good... I can't even express how much I'm digging this arc already.

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.

Apparently when Ray is sufficiently stoned, he becomes aware of an unseen audience unable to hear his speech audibly, and will therefore pronounce some words phonetically for their benefit.  How polite of him!

um.

so what you're saying is that you tease your cats about Achewood being real, and they respond to you with speech impediments, and then you tell them to make you tea.

Dude, all my cats talk to me. This isn't anything new or spurred by Achewood.

However, the Milan speech impediment is a joke related to Achewood. Ray responded in his Ray's Place column when I wrote him a letter from me and Milan saying "This is a big fuck you from all the Scottish Folds in the world. Love, linnea & Milan." Remember the "Scottish Folds got this real retarded accent like the deaf priest from the Princess Bride."

They gotta pay the kittyrent, so that's why I try to make them do stuff, like make tea, clean the apartment, or get me some beer.

When my sister and I were younger, Mom would wake up long before we did during summer vacation, and leave us chore lists. One day, after I protested that the dog and cat never got chores, she left two for them. Pickles's chores were "bark at intruders" and "poop outside." Tiger's was "don't shed."

Tiger was as good at her chores as I was at mine.

HEE! That's awesome. Tiny can. Lenny's daily chores include being nice to his brother and not biting him on his little chickenlegs. Lenny doesn't do very well at his chores, unfortunately. Milan's chores involve being sweet and good, which is easy because he wrote the book on Being Good.

I like the concept, but I feel like Nick Hornby tends to not take ideas "all the way."

I haven't read his books since high school...I'm not saying they're super-deep or anything, but they're fun and competent.
