Bumped into former representation from WME today at lunch. Chatted and caught up with each other. Was asked if I still wrote. Which I don't and haven't in years. Joked around about Trump winning if he did win. Could be a wonderful look into the unknown.
I don't like this rep very much because he was as you'd say an utter twit. I floated the idea of something very silly (or Hipster as younger generations would call it) and he loved it. Maybe I shouldn't be too quick to judge this person. Then again, I'm not known to give people second chances under the prior conditions.
Trump: La Tragedie Americaine
And butchering the French language at that. Oh, well, it was nice to be published in long defunct journals and whatnot. Like many in their youth, I too then dreamed of being a literary mogul. Instead I wormed my way into the financial field and struck... I'm not sure what the equivalent of black gold is in this form, but it would be that.
I did always want to do cook books revolving around light food (such as tapas) and drinks or cooking with coffee. I did have a close friend at one time who was well regarded on drinks books and believe got close to hitting the NYT bestseller list in those days. Coincidentally, he died of liver cirrhosis caused by alcohol and an unhealthy diet of rich foods.
Anyway, I'll shut up now as I've had some wine to get in the mood for tonight's lovely lasagna. I woke up early in the morning to prepare the dough and fix up the kids meals for the day so MiL didn't have to lift a finger. So far, knock on wood, they don't seem to like anything sweet aside from the occasional mashed fruit. Neither one liked the baked goods we've had. I was also spat on with mashed warm apple tart...
Anyway, again... I've had many cups of coffee and probably why I can't seem to focus on anything tonight. This election worries me, even if Clinton may have it in the bag. It's the fallout I'm worried about. I expect an increase in crime forming waves over the next few weeks.
I'm going to take a few days off from the site and hope that when I come back, some of our more vocal members of PRSI are relaxed. Though, I did find one post by a member there who's a supporter of Trump quite funny. Using the C word that neither I nor Sceptical understood because it meant something completely different prior to Trump's rabid fans. Instead of being some strange sexual fetish from ancient times, it became a stupid allegory. Rather odd, considering his countrymen a mere 30 years ago were C'd (according to their definition now) by a raging dictator who with his wife were swiftly executed.

Zenithal's Short and Sweet: Wine and too much coffee. Going off on tangents yet again. Will have a nice cappuccino dusted with cinnamon later on. They say cinnamon is good for the heart and my lasagna is very rich. I think a teaspoon of cinnamon will combat whatever bad things the lasagna will do.
Also, today's literature is veering on the stupid. There's more books about smut and whipping each other in bed than there was a mere decade ago. The literary world is run by children now.
