Have you guys heard that Scribner will be doing a TPB release of Creepshow due out in May? Supposedly with new cover art.

Yes I saw that. You can preorder it at Amazon.

Sweet! Thanks, Paul! Only $11.71 with Prime too. Got the first shipment in btw, thanks! I'm pretty sure you mailed 'em both the same day. Go figure they wouldn't arrive on the same day :/. The other one is slated for delivery on Monday.

Yeah same day, same time. Funny. Pleased they're arriving.

100 minute drive from home, but light years in terms of relaxation.

Morning fog and sunrise. Crisp right now (33 degrees), but it will be ~64 degrees in a few hours.

Later today we head over to Healdsburg for Bear Republic Brewing, then to Santa Rosa for the world famous Russian River brewing for a pint of Pliny the Elder.

Royally pissed at the moment. okay, so I'm a "Geezer" and prefer an old "Flip phone" of which, I received a new version (M3620 AT&T Cingular) for Xmas. Since activating it, I have been trying to get 4 lousy R&R ring tones uploaded to it. Apparently, AT&T no longer supports ringtones and you have to get them through a 3rd party (even though the original ones were purchased thru the AT&T store). 3rd party store (Zedge) does not have my model listed so I need to find a compatible model. Of course, no one can help me as the phone is proprietary to AT&T and conversely, AT&T will not offer support of a 3rd party vendor!!!!

The 3rd party vendor was recommended to me by a AT&T Cust Svc Rep!!! However they can't tell me how to get the RT file from my PC to my phone or if it will even work!!! Fucking AT&T. I've been a customer for over 20 years and when I had my Telecom Co. we were authorized distributors!!! LOL What a world!!! lol

I never have those problems with my flip rotary phone.... I just flip the phone over, push the little slider on the bottom side up, then flip it back over... and the ring tone goes from soft to louder in seconds.

It's a pretty good feeling when a buyer sends a message to express how satisfied they were with the condition of the book, packing and speedy delivery. Made my day.

[Ben Staad]

My home owners insurance just cut me a check for significantly more than my quotes. I called them to discuss and they said they feel that their quote is the fair market value for the work regardless of the fact that I have quotes and actual prices which are far less. Insurance is weird.
