He's the Last of the Hard-Core Troubadours

I am so cranky today. No, there is no reason for it. Or rather, there are many trivial reasons for it and no good ones. It is your responsibility to cheer me up in the comments. I DARE YOU.

I can't wait to read your book! If I had to choose between getting an advance copy of your book or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I would choose your book without hesitation. :)

I just named my kid after you.

Well, okay, I don't have a kid, so I named someone else's kid after you.

It wasn't a kid I know. It was some stranger's kid.

I didn't actually tell the stranger or the kid that I'd named the kid after you.

Now there's some kid whose name is Dave and doesn't even know it.

Unless the kid is already named Dave. In that case, presumably, the kid would know his name is Dave, but he wouldn't know why.

Aw, you're welcome!

I'm not understanding why I should help you be less cranky. I say, relish the crankiness. GLORY IN ITS AWESOMENESS.

Also, make sure you read Barth's post about Isaiah from yesterday. No one can be cranky after that.

I told J you were cranky and now I am turning over the keyboard to him:

(That's all he wanted to tell you. Hope it helps. Jeremiah says, "It's sad when the unicorns take Charlie's kidney! But it's also funny.")

I'll be your beard if you'll be mine?

Keith is sheriff. Also, picking a random selection from Eduardo Galeano's Book of Embraces always cheers me up (in an odd way), so something toward the end, in case the need is dire:

FINGERPRINTS

I was born and raised under the stars of the Southern Cross.

Wherever I go, they follow me. Under the sparkling Southern Cross, I live out the stages of my fate.

I have no god. If I had one, I would beseech him not to let me meet death, not yet. I still have a long way to go. There are moons at which I have not yet howled and suns which have not yet set me alight. I have still not swum in all the seas of the world, of which they say there are seven, nor in all the rivers of Paradise, of which they say there are four.

In Montevideo a child explains:
"I never want to die, because I want to play forever."

if this doesn't cheer you up...

No matter how often I've seen this, it kills me every time.

I'm coming way late to this, but I thought I'd show you an elephant! :)
