Ways not to open a business email sent to the administrative mailing list:

Good morning, ladies!

1. Hi there, three men on this mailing list.
2. Seriously?

The guy who sent the email is an idiot who has long been recognised as such, which I imagine is why he finds it difficult to get the admins to help him out. I really do reserve mischeviousness for the egregious, but I make no such vows about my colleagues.

CG is selling well, for which I thank you all. Interestingly, while I sold slightly less in the first day than I did for Nameless (unsurprising, given the price hike) I still sold as many books, because people did bundle Nameless with CG. Anyhow, I hope everyone enjoys them :)

I love grubhub.com.

Grub Hub is a website based out of quite a few urban areas now, where you enter your address and it tells you what restaurants deliver to you, including restaurants that offer online ordering through their site. I have not made a telephone order for a delivery meal in literally years because of Grub Hub. Their 404 Missing Page text is awesome:

By finding something that doesn't actually exist you've defied all laws of the universe, bringing about a disaster of epic proportions - day becomes night, up is now down, dogs and cats are living together... it's mass hysteria! We'll send help, but just in case... start working on a zombie survival plan. Immediately. For your safety, we recommend you not leave your home - enter your address above and order a snack while we try and get this all under control.

But they do have a few quirks. Such as the fact that the restaurants themselves enter the titles and descriptions of the food they offer, leading to intriguing typos.

Meta for only $7.50? Such a deal! (Mind you, we peddle it for free around these parts.)

Also, when you order they show you a little comic explaining how it works. I think it's a kind of adorable little comic, but here's my question:

Why is the guy sitting on his couch waiting for his food...naked?

It's not Deep Thoughts, but it's my journal and I'll LOL if I want to. (You would LOL tooooo if it happened to youuuuu...)

They are filming a television show on my street. Right now. With loudspeakers.

WHAT FUCKERY IS THIS.

ETA: the show is called Ride Along.

I suppose I should be glad it's not a porn flick?

I'm pretty sure you can't get a permit to film those outdoors in residential neighborhoods. Not on the street, anyway.
