Thanksgiving Day
This is my favourite USian holiday. A day set aside to give thanks for the good stuff in your life is a lovely idea. I’m extremely lucky because I have so much to be thankful for that if I listed them all this would be the longest post in the history of blogging.
Instead I will be brief:
I am thankful for the fabulous readers of this blog. Whether you comment or lurk I am grateful for your continued support.1 Without you there’d be no point. You all rule.
Happy Thanksgiving!

And although I’m Australian and don’t really celebrate the holiday, I’m thankful for all your books and your blogging – both of which are very awesome.
And what unorthodox grammars are you talking aboot?

Completely off the topic–there may be something wrong with your RSS feed. For whatever reason, I received none of your blog posts this month until this morning, when they all arrived in a big blog dump.
On the upside, this meant that I just got a month’s worth of Larbtasticness(?) in one night.
