Jeeves vs. Pooh

I had included a link earlier to the story of J.M. Barrie. Here's an intriguing link about the literary rivalry between two other authors coming from the same period: A.A. Milne and P.G. Wodehouse.

Edited to add: Thanks to baldanders for providing the link to George Orwell's defense of P.G. Wodehouse here.

I just realized

My agent didn't send me a holiday card this year.

That's it. My career is over.

Edited to add: He has sent me cards in the past.

Ow

I did a half hour of treadmill and a half hour of weight lifting and an ab routine today. My pedometer reads 14278 steps for the day.

Now I have a foot cramp. There is no justice.

Computer update

Still not writing and still not receiving e-mail because the computer still is molten slag, but Rob assures me it'll be fixed Real Soon Now. He has to reformat the hard disk and reload the data. That's what he told me LAST time. He's already done gone through this process once, but the next day, for some reason, all the re-loaded data on the disk disappeared, poof. No idea why. It does not inspire me with great feelings of confidence that it'll be fixed this time.

This is getting really old.
