1254046 Hey Bradley, would you consider yourself a man of good artistic taste? If so, I'm definately looking through your reads. By the way, I hope your new project is going well. Sometime ago, I read on your blog, you were furiously working on it. When it comes out, I'm definately purchasing a copy, truely.

777369 well if you have any florky stories, pls tell me! I haven't been on there long...it's definitely an awkward site, it's kind of charming in its primitive backwardness, but I'm hardly a long-timer there..
cheers,
j.


1143708 Yup. One of my sing-songy poems. Hope I didn't have any part of your unpleasant dream. :(

1169150 Thanks for making me your friend, Bradley.


1254046 Hey Bradley, thanks for thanking people. Regardless, i'm glad i found the site. I've been reading Raymond Carver, too. I'm nearly done with "What we talk about when we talk about love." i notice you're reading "Where I'm Coming From." Yeah, my technologically advanced computer will automatically inform me on your review when it comes. its wonderous thing. peace, Bradley.


1118033 The question is.. are YOU watching the Karate Kid Part III?




630905 I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

-Jeremy


630905 Hi Bradley!

Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

-Jeremy :)
