P.S. No! No! No! Harry Potter is not a little boy orphan. He is the CEO of a multi-national corporation, the prodigal brainchild of a sad, lonely woman who has lost control of her own hideous creation. That�s right. Harry Potter chows on brains and your money. Uhg!

Lemony Snicket is a genius. Even though he only issues his work in hard-cover, he is an unapologetic aesthete of the highest order, not a money grubbing bastard.

And last night I tended to my funk by spooning with the puss on the floor, listening to old Ride albums and the real soundtrack of the evening: rain. Pouring, pounding, pissing, it-is-raining-in-my-heart-Baudelaire-style rain.

I'd like to be lost and found in a crowd of thousands. No, millions. Otherwise, it�s too easy.
