Lileks
Note: this is a post recovered from my old blog, before it died of an insufficient backup. Any comments/trackbacks on it have not been brought over, but can be seen with the original. The date is that of the original posting.
And here is an example of why Lileks' bleats are so widely read:
I hear little feet hit the floor upstairs; I start up the stairs, and hear the feet scurrying back to bed. By the time I get to her room she's making fake snoring sounds. I'm raising an actress. Or a sociopath. And the difference is? Discuss.
From the same bleat, discussing advice to callers to talk radio shows:
3. If you met the host on a plane a year ago, or a reception six months ago, do not embarrass everyone by bringing it up. Unless you did something memorable, such as driving your heel into his foot while shouting I AM THE VENGEANCE OF ASHERON AND ALL HIS MINIONS the host probably won't remember who you are. It's nothing personal. (Unless it is.)
Can I be James Lileks when I grow up?
