My English teacher likes to tell us all the time that the only good authors out there put symbolism in their books. Which I never really thought was true. (I also found it kind of insulting to my own writing…)I kind of always wanted to raise my hand and argue with him about it. But he’s the sort of person who always thinks he’s right. So I didn’t go there. XD

Ya know, Patrick, the Blog Overlord is a vengeful god. Vastly vengeful. I’m just saying . . .

i find that the magic door between the us and aus has dual meanings, being that of mankind’s need to explore space as well as reconciliation between england’s outcast criminals of aus and england’s elite who colonized the us.

that’s pretty much the theme of your books, right?

My reach is far, and my vengeance endless. I have to live with hours of the vivid ghost taste of mangosteen haunting my fevered gob, provoking unwanted drooling, sobbing and moaning. I’m getting stranger than usual looks.

Well, I have foiled you, Mr Grey, for I am escaping to Detroit!

Oh. Wait . . .

what is the texture of a mangosteen?

Molly: They’re very easy to eat. The husk is much softer than it looks. I just push through to the flesh with my thumbs and then peel it off and stuff it in my mouth. Is easier than getting the skin off an orange.

Tim: I only live here in summer except for when circumstances beyond my control keep me here. But this particular circumstance is a one off and will never happen again. I.e. this is my LAST New York City winter.

. . . anyone who lives somewhere cold should have their head examined.

I completely concur. Mmm, Austin.

Hey, wait a second. Don’t you live in NYC?

Perhaps you might educate us unenlightened folks on how one eats a mangosteen? That looks … complicated!

(I got a bag of mangosteen green tea the other day and immediately thought of your blog. For the record, it was delicious, and I wish I could find more.)
