lsu press

Louisiana State University Press has an online sale (20% off) through October 31. Discount code F07PC. I know there are probably some poetry books or memoirs I would like from them. But their online interface isn't very conducive to browsing. Meh.

please direct attention here

Mr. Frog makes fun of me for demanding his attention sometimes by doing silly things like talk to the tv loudly while he is across the room playing his game. Really, though, the attention whore is Mr. Giles. He gets especially cranky when Mr. Frog and I are paying each other more attention than we are to him. This morning, when we retired to the bedroom (I slept on the couch until 6 am while Mr. Frog was playing his game on his usual night schedule), Mr. Giles sort of stood on the bed disconsolately until Mr. Frog and I moved apart and made a space in between us for him to lie down. The dog then promptly circled the space and plopped himself down so that he was comfortably wedged between us.

Also, this morning I received an e-mail proclaiming to be from the IRS noting that I have a $268.32 refund waiting for me as long as I quickly click on the link and file some paperwork. Mmm hmmm. The IRS has a page set up with instructions on where to forward such phishing e-mail.
