I can’t believe you’re gonna get to see Bruce! A couple guys parodied Bruce in their webcomic. There’s like eight strips all about him. Kinda funny. http://tiny.cc/99UqB

Jess is right, hot toddy FTW. And i know this lacks tact, but im in-your-face-ly saying please please finish Book 2. Im very compulsive about story-lines, just look at my WoW character.

Keep up the Genius.

Thanks for being the sort of dude willing to recognizing the subtle and deeply depressing sexism in “weeping like a little girl.” (for those who don’t see it, the implication is little girls are weak thus more weepy/emotional. Any display of non-violent emotion tends to be categorized as female, where female=inferior. At least in the US. And especially in boy-heavy subcultures, like fandom.)
Using the feminine as an insult is so incredibly common that most people either don’t think about or, if they do, the try to come up with some sort of half-cocked defense that enables them to cling to a familiar phrase without having to think about the icky underlying cultural assumptions. It makes me both happy and sad to see you noticed. Happy because, yay, you are a dude who brains such things. Sad because it seems such a rare occurrence I felt surprised to read it, and compelled to compliment you for it. =(

Random unsolicited advice: A hot toddy is the absolute Best Thing Ever for an ouchy throat. And also very comforting Feel better. =)

Con-crud is universal and horrific. I think I might have gotten less sick in my wilder days where there might have been a lot of kissing, actually.

Will “The name of the Wind” ever published in a Slavic-Croatian-Bosnian-Serbian speaking country (Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia)?

I don’t know, I think “weeping like a frat boy on a bet” has a real poignancy to it. (I suppose I’m assuming that frat boys would only bet on things that would make each other weep. I’m all right with that.)

Aww, strep throat! That sucks.
Just don’t do what I did, please! Don’t waltz around the house in mixed pyjamas – or in my case, freebie t-shirts – and sing belters from any number of musicals. It might feel like fun at the time, but believe me, it’ll kill as soon as the song ends.
I love your blog, Pat! Keep it up, I always look forward to reading it.
Feel better soon

Merciful Buddah! Did Judy just call us Angelinos “a handful of boogers”? For shame, Judy, for shame! Pat, no kissing. No hugs. Take Airborne. Man up. For Sarah, dude! Xoxoxo jeanne
