I mostly recall discussing fiction with him, yes, but now and then a bit of nonfiction!

Compared to a sauce you’d add flour to for no good reason? Yes, it is considerably so. More so than even a basic marinara, too, or a pesto sauce.

He’s lovely, albeit a bit... nutty. He hangs out at the bookshop I used to work at pretty regularly.

Same! Speaking as an indie publisher myself (and as a bookseller who used to have Keanu as an extremely lovely and enthusiastic regular at my old shop, and whose current shop houses part of his personal collection in one of our antiquarian cases), this has been one of my favorite things about him for some time now.

Possibly. Then again, most men I know have gone gray in the beard years, if not decades, before any gray shows up on any other part of their heads.

Thank youuuu.

Same! (I mean, I can’t throw stones; mine, at best, is somewhere in the mid-600s, so.)

Also definite potential reasons! It’s probably a bit of a mix of everything.

It does! And so many of the less “obvious”/touristy areas, which in reality make up most of the entire rest of the city, and deserve much more love. The city in this show looks more like the LA I know and live in than almost anything else shot here I’ve ever seen.

God, I love Kelli so much. (Also, damn, Issa’s credit rating down in the 400s made me feel a lot better about mine, which isn’t terrible, but definitely is not what I want it to be!)

BABIES.

The biggest thing for me — and it’s something I still have to really check myself on — is learning and maintaining listening to my own internal, gut voice, or whatever you would call it. Even if I’m just out for a nice walk by myself, going nowhere, on no particular schedule. I think a lot of women are unconsciously…

Happy birthday!

Agreed, on all counts.

the dude has a lot of good ideas

Oh, boo hoo. Hopefully Musk has some $100 bills around to wipe his tears with.

I have a CD book, which makes me feel Very Old now

It is a lot of growth! Then again, the amount of (relative) size change domestic cats go through just in their first year is also wild to me. They get so big so fast!

Don’t pretend to have the slightest idea how the book business worked, works, or ever will work, you foul-mouthed little Bezos lackey. Pathetic.

Yeah, this has been driving me nuts for pretty much my entire life, or at least it feels that way.
