Be in a Book!

Via Neil Gaiman, you can bid to be in a book! Some of the authors are being cooler than others, promising phone calls and conversations, and characters to be killed or made love to, and others are like "Yeah, sure, I'll... uh... put your last name, in some form, in a book. When I write it. Which I may not do." But still! Good cause!

Also, a small sign that I may be playing too much Prince of Persia: I looked at a truck blocking an intersection while I was out at lunch, and thought, "I could just roll under it -- hit W and space."

At least I didn't actually do it, right?

Oh! And, to file under "Today I joined a cult" -- today I'm down 26.2 pounds!
